Rapper Fabolous and the mother of his children Emily B. have been off and on again for years, but the duo may be headed in the red zone once again.

On Wednesday evening the rapper was exposed by Peruvian and American urban model Fiorella Zelaya, for diving into her direct messages. She slammed Fabolous for his alleged abusive actions in relation to Emily and called him out on his advances towards her.

Zelaya took to Instagram and shared a screenshot of the rapper asking “You don’t stay in NY do you?” 

The model left Fabolous’ message unread and typed over it “I’m good love, enjoy.”

Zelaya also uploaded the photo on her Insta-Story and listed a boatload of reasons why she didn’t reply to the artist’s message. “(1) I’m engaged, (2) I hate abusive men, (3) I hate cheaters (4) I have a business email, (5) I live in NY, (6) I love my teeth, (7) I have standards,” she wrote then listed more commandments and then displayed a photo with her fiancée.

Zelaya is making reference to the highly publicized altercation Fabolous had with girlfriend Emily B earlier this year. TMZ caught the two on camera arguing where he threatened to shoot her and her dad. It was later reported he was abusive towards Emily and knocked out her two front teeth.

The “Make Me Better” rapper clapped back at the urban model and insinuated that he only messaged her for a music video opportunity. He posted on his social media account and said, “Telling [Royceda 59] Igotta beware of public figure hoes who think they’re 1 clout chase away from being Kim Kardashian. 😏 [shotbyhazznyc]#SummerOnLockVideo.”

Emily and Fabolous were just seen a couple of days ago posting family photos of their sons Jonas and Johan Jackson. Emily has yet to comment on Fabolous’ alleged DMs.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
