Former “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star K. Michelle might have said her goodbyes to the hit reality show that gave her a platform to secure her record deal with Warner Bros., but her music career is taking off so fast these days that VH1 opted to hand the star her very own reality show post her appearances made on season four of “Love and Hip Hop New York.” Although her music career is going very well, she’s still struggling when it comes to men and relationships. Her most recent public romance with NBA player Lance Stephenson also ended on a sour note and she confirmed she split with the 23-year-old athlete on her Instagram account after her fans peeped he was still creeping around with his baby mama.
In a recent interview with the Breakfast Club, the singer confirmed the breakup was due to his cheating and she also says that his age played a big factor in the split as well. She also feels that the athlete didn’t want to be faithful but expected her to be. When asked if they are still on speaking terms, K. Michelle says:
“We good. I just took a step back, but we good. Like we’ve been communicating. I think it’s the age. Like, let us just be friends.
“He wants to do what a 23-year-old do but he still don’t want me to do…you know how that go.
“I’m like ok, we might as well be friends.”
Although Lance wasn’t faithful, K. Michelle claims he was still one of the better boyfriends she’s ever had:
“You know I’ve had some awful ones. He actually had some really nice qualities with him other than his…this one [looks down]. So we cool, we really are.”
In addition to Lance having commitment issues, the singer also says that time played a role in their demise too. Apparently she just didn’t have enough time to spend with the professional athlete:
“That’s another thing. We never have time. My tour starts Monday and I haven’t seen him since September. And tomorrow, I have like one day. The season started, I haven’t had any time.”
Check out the interview below:
K. Michelle has the WORST taste in men. Now why on earth would any woman who’s in her 30s with a career date a 23 year old NBA player? Of course he wasn’t ready to commit. Smh.
I think she just has a thing for NBA players. Sadly a lot of them don’t seem to be about anything.
I feel like when a woman gets in her 30s, she should have a better understanding of what kind of men to not date. K. should have known things wouldn’t have worked out with a 23 year old. That’s just common sense. And it’s nothing but time being wasted.
She’ll just hook up with another young guy with baggage again. It’s just what she likes.
What did she expect him to be at 23? LOL.
Typical woman who looks for love in the wrong places.
I’m not knocking a woman for dating a younger man, but I don’t think any woman should have expectations for it to be anything more than a fling. These young guys don’t have any intentions on committing period. And definitely not with an older woman.
Girl just stop messing with these young athletes and get yourself a real man. Seriously.
Why do I have the feeling K. Michelle will just turn around and find another young dude to cheat on her soon? It’s like she never learns.
Well I hope K. Michelle will stop looking for love with these younger athletes who have nothing to offer her but a headache and drama. It’s not worth it and being single is better than dealing with that.
All these R&B singers are trying to scoop them up a baller but they don’t understand what comes with that. Most of them are not faithful and don’t plan to be.
Just think about it… Maybe she likes these situations / men because it makes for good music and a good time. K is not naïve when it comes to men, she just has a particular type of man that keeps her on her toes. She seems like she gets bored easily with men so she likes the challenge.
She has terrible taste in men.
