Teyana Taylor’s divorce from Iman Shumpert has been a hot topic since the couple finalized their split in July 2024, but recent rumors about Teyana’s lavish settlement have sparked a fiery response from her mother and manager, Nikki Taylor.
In an exclusive statement to entertainment journalist Loren Lorosa, Nikki set the record straight, pushing back against claims that Teyana walked away with over $10 million in properties, luxury cars, and a seven-figure payout.
Reports swirled this week that Teyana, 33, scored a massive divorce settlement, including:
Four luxury homes valued at over $10 million.
High-end vehicles, supposedly worth $300,000 and $70,000.
A seven-figure lump sum payment.
Full ownership of her businesses, including her beauty brand.
While fans celebrated the alleged payout as a win for the multihyphenate star, Nikki Taylor quickly shut down the narrative, calling out the timing.
In a statement released by The Breakfast Club co-host Loren LoRosa, Nikki Taylor expressed concern about how information from a confidential case had unexpectedly become available. The mom-manager emphasized that the divorce case is sealed, raising questions about how specific financial details became public.
“It’s awful strange that the case is sealed, from a divorce that was finalized in July 1, 2024; but all of this information as to what she allegedly got is public this week?” Nikki Taylor said in a statement.
Nikki also clarified that both Teyana and Iman were adequately compensated for their time spent in the marriage.
“What about the other party received? Let’s be crystal clear, BOTH parties walked with the properties, vehicles, and businesses that they obtained separately.”
Nikki’s skepticism about the timing of the leaks hints at a possible ulterior motive. Earlier during the legal process, Teyana accused Iman of leaking their sealed records to reporters despite her efforts to keep their problems from the public.
Teyana and Iman, who married in 2016, announced their separation in 2023 after eight years of marriage. The couple shares two daughters, Junie, 8, and Rue, 4. While the split was initially contentious, both have since prioritized co-parenting, with Teyana often sharing sweet moments with her girls on social media.
