MC Lyte, the iconic hip-hop figure, is celebrating love and Super Bowl excitement in a recent Instagram post alongside her mysterious boo.
The 53-year-old rapper, whose real name is Lana Michele Moorer, shared a joyful photo decked out in San Francisco 49ers gear, expressing her support for the team’s bid for the Super Bowl championship.
In the Instagram caption, MC Lyte simply wrote:
“My boo, my love Super Bowl, let’s go!!”
While the identity of her partner remains officially undisclosed, rumors suggest his name is Aaron Johnson, a 43-year-old professional in the tech industry. Allegedly, they first crossed paths at a philanthropic event, bonding over their shared commitment to community work.
Johnson is reputed to be a tech entrepreneur behind multiple startup companies and has reportedly been romantically involved with the rapper for at least a year.
MC Lyte’s romantic journey took a different turn after her three-year marriage to Marine Corps veteran and entrepreneur John Wyche. Their relationship, which began in 2016 after meeting on match.com, ended due to “irreconcilable differences.”
In January 2023, Lyte shared a picture of her and Johnson on Instagram with the caption, “This is Winning. 2023. . . I’m ready.”
Reflecting on her divorce, MC Lyte opened up about the initial distress and the challenges of ending a relationship. She emphasized that finding happiness doesn’t equate to staying in a marriage and that letting go is crucial for personal growth.
After nearly two years of negotiations, the rapper and Wyche finalized their separation, with MC Lyte retaining ownership of her music catalog.
