R&B singer K. Michelle might be enjoying her new-found success in her music career with the release of her first studio album “Rebellious Soul,” and she’s already proven that it is totally possible for reality stars to transition into music successfully, and be taken seriously as a recording artist. With the first week sales of the album beating out the recent first week sales of established artists Ciara and Kelly Rowland, it’s clear that K. Michelle is rapidly building a solid fan base, and her honest approach to music and social media may actually be working to her advantage. However, K. Michelle hasn’t been able to duplicate that kind of success when it comes to her love life.
As we reported recently, K. Michelle has been dating Indiana Pacers player Lance Stephenson for months, and she’s made it clear on Twitter and Instagram that she was completely smitten by the professional athlete. Although she confirmed it’s the longest relationship she’s had in a very long time, the romance wasn’t without its issues.
According to reports, Lance was rumored to be cheating on K. Michelle with his baby mama, and one of our readers recently alerted us that K. Michelle finally caught him in the act after he posted a photo of himself to Instagram and unknowingly revealed his baby mama in the background sitting in his bed.
K. Michelle’s fans wasted no time in notifying the singer about the photo, and she told fans on Instagram that she had called it quits with Lance. However, just a day or so later she referred to him as her boyfriend again on Twitter, signaling that they had decided to move past the drama and continue their romance.
We’re assuming some more dirt just went down because about 11 hours or so ago, K. Michelle took to her Twitter account to tell her fans she is “single” and she would give the specifics later. In the tweet after that, she seemingly confirmed Lance had been caught cheating on her. She tweets (read from top to bottom):
I can’t…*walks out post*
K. Michelle needs to just stick to her guns and move on. This guy is young and he’s an athlete. She’s in her 30s. She needs someone who is not an athlete and more mature.
Why she isn’t mature herself!
Just don’t take him back again!
I read somewhere that he assaulted his baby mama a couple of years ago. I’m not sure why but his baby mama is refusing to let go even though they obviously have an unhealthy relationship. K. Michelle just needs to let her have him. Not worth it.
Really??!!! Well in that case this breakup is definitely for the best! She doesn’t need to be with another abuser.
She has the worst taste in men. That’s why she is single and in her 30s. Get you a real man K. and get married and have some babies.
Whoa…that’s a bit harsh. Some women are single and in their 30s because their career was a priority in their 20s. She’ll get married if that’s what God has for her.
Thank you.
I agree Viv. Women aren’t making marriage a priority like we used to. We focus on careers first, then finding a husband. Everyone will make lots of mistakes before they get married. Let’s not throw single women in their 30s under a bus.
THIS!!!
Tell the truth and shame the devil!
I don’t agree with the single in the 30s part, but I do think wasting too much time spent on the wrong men keeps women from finding the right ones.
There’s nothing wrong with pursuing a career and success even if it means pushing aside a romantic life to pursue it. The problem with K is her taste in men and maturity level, not her age. She just started her music career. She doesn’t have to “settle down and have some babies” right now. She just needs to mature a little.
Agreed.
SMH. She should have never taken him back. He cheated. There was nothing else to talk about. I don’t give cheaters second chances.
She’s learning.
I hope so.
She better stop dating these NBA players. They cheat and don’t care.
If she wasn’t so thirsty to have a NBA player she would have caught the red flags from jump. He’s young, with a baby mama that doesn’t want to let go. That NEVER works out.
This is why I don’t date men who have baby mamas. Most of them are still sleeping with these women.
That’s not always true.
It’s not alway true. If you shun every man with a child you’re throwing away your chances to find a really good man.At least you know he will acknowledge/take care of his children. Men with no children cheat just as much.
She’ll be with another average NBA player in no time. And then she’ll be single again about three months after meeting him. This is what she does.
Young athletes aren’t worth the time. I hope she sees that now. Elle Varner too. Very rarely will they run into a mature professional athlete who wants to settle down. Kevin Durant and that dude Keri is with are rarities.
I like K. Michelle but let’s not pretend she’s some great woman who is wife material. You attract who you are! If she grew up some and acted more mature, she could find that in a man. She gets these ratchet, baby MAMAS having, tatted up losers because she isn’t the type of woman real men would even take out on a date. And didn’t she say not too long ago she likes thugs? Ugh.
Exactly!
Eh there will others. No need to sweat it.
K. Michelle is just learning about love and relationships like most of us are right now. She sees now that she made a mistake in taking Lance back. That’s growth. She’ll find the right person for her one day or he may even find her. IjS.
I love this blog and the people on it…
You live and you learn. Time to learn K. You can do much better.
This bird will never learn. She’s willing to deal with these young fools just to say she has a man. Sad!
Right she d..k thirsty. She’ll screw anything. I guess she about to mess with ocho now.
See this will be what holds her back. Why did she even have to tweet that
