Things are getting messy with Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert’s divorce. Teyana just accused her ex of failing to properly care for their daughters.
The singer and actress and NBA star share two daughters: Rue, 3, and Juni 8. Teyana claims that Iman “consistently fails to properly care for the minor children” and alleges that he is “failing to feed them despite being in the [marital residence] with the minor children.”
Teyana Made Claims About Iman’s Parenting
She also accuses Iman of “smoking marijuana and being under the influence while caring for the minor children,” PEOPLE reports. In her response, Teyana also claimed that Iman put their two daughters in a rideshare in Chicago while he used a private driver. As a result, the kids were allegedly “dropped off at the United Center in general population.”
The accusations follow Iman’s response following the original divorce filing, according to PEOPLE. Both Teyana and Iman’s attorneys were contacted by the outlet but have yet to comment.

Teyana filed for divorce in January 2023. However, the couple waited months before making their separation public.
In September 2023, Teyana shared the news on Instagram. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, “infidelity” ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children,” she wrote.
“The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved,” she added.
While the former couple managed to keep their separation private and respectful at the time, more details emerged as Teyana officially filed for divorce.
Teyana and Iman’s Divorce Escalated
Page Six reports that in the original divorce filing, the singer accused her ex-husband of “cruel treatment” and named that as the reason for the divorce. She also alleged he“displayed extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage.”
Additionally, she alleged that received “condescending and manipulative” messages from Iman, which put her on an “emotional rollercoaster.” She also alleged that Iman cheated on her during their marriage despite the fact that she initially mentioned that infidelity was not part of the equation in her Instagram announcement to fans.
Iman then asked the court to replace “cruel treatment” with “irretrievable broken bond.” He also denied making Teyana feel unsafe during their relationship.

Teyana recently also accused Iman of turning off utilities in a house she’s living in with their kids and alleged that the basketball player had not paid any child support except for covering Junie’s school tuition, per The Daily Mail.
The exes met in 2011 but didn’t get romantically involved until 2013, according to Page Six. They made their official debut as a couple in September 2014. They shared both engagement and pregnancy news in 2015. By 2016, they had secretly tied the knot.
Their divorce battle continues.
