Those reasons might just be the juicy quarantine celeb-gossip you need this week. In an appearance on his IG live, the professional athlete took to the internet to explain his side of the story as to why he left his ex-wife Imani at the altar (for reasons that are actually quite stunning.)
”The moral of this story is, find you one woman, love her through the good and bad and build with her. Because I’m tellin you, if you think having a whole bunch of hoes and having multiple kids by more than one woman is something to brag about, it will ruin your life. Thank God it didn’t ruin mine but it will add a lot of stress to your life,” he said.
Stephen says he met Imani in New York and they dated for several years before marriage and before moving to San Antonio. There, he even went on to win a championship however his team didn’t like the way his girlfriend at the time dressed. He says that is one of the key reasons he didn’t renew his contract — mostly because of her.
Stephen then revealed he initially popped the question in Indiana during his tenure with the Indiana Pacers. Er, it was there that the relationship actually got really rocky because Imani didn’t want to reportedly sign a prenup which Stephen really wanted to have done.
“I take care of a lot of people. I’m never letting one woman control of all the hard work I’ve done in my life. None of these muhf*ckas was in the gym with me. So I told myself whoever I’m married to, they signing a prenup off top. It’s not even a second guess,” he said.
And then came the battle over the pastor…
I spent about $400,000 on the wedding, y’all. Pastor don’t matter to me. I just want to marry you. I don’t even give a damn. Now, we at two weeks before the wedding. Everything planned and ready to go. I’m like, ‘Look bruh why I got to keep asking you about this prenup. It ain’t like you don’t know what’s on it. What motives? This what I told her, what motives you on?! I ain’t on nothing, I just ain’t had time to sign it planning a wedding.”
And finally…. the day of the wedding…
”So, this the day of the wedding. Y’all ready for the good part. We wake up that morning, I’m getting dressed. All my groomsmen. In the back of mind, all I’m thinking about is this damn prenup,” he shared.
”We in the back room and the preacher come in with his assistant and my nanny come in with a spooked look on her face. She pulls me to the side and she like, ‘She still ain’t signed it.’ So, I said, ‘I ain’t getting married then.’ Steph [Stephon Marbury] was like, ‘She ain’t sign the prenup, what we even here for?’
”The preacher steps up, remember the preacher? He says ‘Hold on, now I know you love this girl. Don’t make a drastic decision. I think you should just let God handle it.’ I said, ‘Huh?’ He said, ‘As the pastor, I don’t believe in prenups.’ Now I know why she was fighting for you. You don’t believe in prenups. Damn what you believe in. I put everything in God’s hands and God is telling me to put the pen in her hand and make her sign this gotdamn prenup. That’s what God tellin me. So God tellin you and me two different things.”
