Fabolous and Emily B still together? Fabolous and Emily B’s relationship became the target of scrutiny after Emily decided to appear on seasons one and two of “Love and Hip Hop New York.” However, people weren’t so sold what they had was real because Emily’s whole point of joining the show was to force Fab into claiming her. The rapper has had a long history of being a ladies’ man, and it’s caused lots of strain on his relationship with Emily. Emily didn’t return for a third season, but she did say later on her new-found fame did make Fabolous step up and claim her in public, something she’s wanted all along. However, Fab’s still rumored to be messing around with groupies and his recent comments on marriage made it look as if things haven’t really improved for the couple.
In a new interview with VLAD TV, Fab opens up about his current relationship status with Emily B, marriage, and why he thinks things worked out for Jay-Z and Beyonce.
When asked where things stand with Emily B, Fab says:
“Yeah we got a child together. That’s my lady. We’re just raising a five-year old boy. Simple as that. It’s going through everything it takes to do that. A five-year old is a handful. We both need each other in that sense.”
The rapper also says that despite what he said earlier, he’s not against getting married. However, he does feel it’s not taken as seriously as it needs to be by most people:
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t ever get married. If it presents itself and I’m ready to do that, I would definitely…I think marriage is a great thing. I just think that a lot of people don’t respect it in the same way that I respect it.
“Some people want to get married because it’s a nice thing to do or it’s like a way to show that you love somebody. But they don’t see all of the things that come around with marriage. The mind state it takes to be in it. Somebody will get married and then get divorced three months later. I wouldn’t want to move forward in something I was unsure about at that high of a level. It’s a serious thing.
“…It’s something you should look and feel that you’re ready for.”
Fab also says he’s lost his thirst for groupies, and thinks Jay-Z and Beyonce worked because Jay married her after her got over his groupie phase of his career:
“12 years later, in my state, I’m not as thirsty as you would be when you’re in your first year. In your first year, things are just swinging your way.
“As things slow down and you just start maturing, you have a little bit more direction on what you want to do.
“Everybody looks at Jay-Z and Beyonce. Jay was 40. Nobody ever keys on that. He had his time to play and then he figured out…it was Beyonce [laughs] but he figured out.”
Check out the interview below:
It’s crazy to me how men want to be able to sleep around and play games until they are in their 30s and 40s, and we’re supposed to be patient. Smh.
Agreed. But what’s even crazier is some women (like Emily B) are okay with that.
Its their prerogative for them to do what they are doing. If Emily wants to wait for Fab, she can do so.
You’re right but in the same breath you have to remember it’s also my prerogative to have an opinion on her waiting on Fab. It goes both ways.
COSIGN!!!! Lets not forget she was on national tv crying, “waiting patiently”
You are exactly right! And it kills me that he thinks having a baby with someone isn’t really considered a commitment. I feel like raising a child is a WAY bigger commitment than marriage. So basically Fab, it’s okay to make babies, raise them together and live with your BM; but, you have to be in a special frame of mind to get married? Really? So you don’t have to change your mind set to raise a child, right? I guess I just don’t get it.
So Emily is still giving him the time of day huh? I guess.
Before Mimi was the weak long suffering woman on reality tv there was Emily which I still see she is still playing that role but only behind the cameras now. *Shrugs* I’m still not sold on Fab and Emily relationship nothing has changed why would a man change his ways if a woman will still stay regardless.
I see he wants Emily to wait around until he’s in his 40s. Smh.
Didn’t he recently tweet out a booty shot of another woman? Emily will never learn.
Emily is a fool and I see that will never change.
He left out the part about Jay actually being the one who waited on Bey. Bey was focused on her career. Jay waited to date her for like 3 yrs. Emily could never…
I thought he waited because Bey was under age….
Emily and Fab are joined together forever due to their child. It was only a matter of time until Fab came to his senses and started to do what is right — be with the mother of his child.
Couldn’t be me! But to each its own.
If she dates around she is labeled a whore and if she stays by his side she has low self esteem. The double standard needs to stop.
But why Fab look like Pookie from New Jack City though, with this hair!
I mean Really? Is Fab really still NOT saying he is serious about Emily. All I got from this interview and every interview is that he is just co-parenting his child. So is a million other couples but his baby mother loves him, she has made her choice. Fab basically said “When Im about 40 like Jay Im gon’ marry my Beyonce. ” That is really what most artist and celebs are looking to marry — not there plain ole’ Marys, jackies, Deborahs or Emilys. They are looking and Fab is waiting on his “Beyonce”. Sad thing is she is already sitting at home with his child and he is too superficial and about that life to realize it. Emily is no Beyonce but shes not an ugly girl either or he would not have been with her. Hopefully by the time Fab is 40, Emily will have moved on and found her “Jay Z” cus Jay is Paid! Him and Bey are on the Forbes most powerful couples List probably close to 1 billion between the two of them. Drop Fab, Emily and go get your “Jay Z” cus he is looking for his ‘Beyonce” and if he dont sell no records or get them ends, the “Beyonce” he meets is not going to want him. Emily you are his insurance, only if he doesnt get what he really wants! Emily tell Fab to the Left, to the Left! Like Beyonce sangs. HE STILL DONT WANT CHU! SORRY! AGAIN!
What you all have said is so nail on the head. I always thought that Fab didn’t want Emily. I think the only reason why he is sort of with her is because she has a name for herself now. He is sadly to say severely super-ficial. He has the nerve to say “he looking for a beyonce”.. negro please.. Emily just because you have a baby a with a sorry immature man don’t mean you have to be with him. Move the hell on damn-it ! As women of color we women make it so easy for a man.. Make them work for it.. The “it” I mean your time and your heart..
