“Love and Hip Hop Hollywood” star and singer Teairra Mari is making headlines again and this time she’s being accused of releasing her sex tape.

A recording of Mari performing sexual acts with a man was leaked in May and posted to her Instagram account. The singer has since filed legal action against ex-boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad, who is in the video, and who she believes leaked the tape from the beginning. She subsequently filed a restraining order against rapper 50 Cent for reposting the video on Instagram. According to TMZ, the restraining order was denied because the judged was not convinced that the photo he shared showed the reality star “engaging” in a sexual act.

Recently, the singer was approached and cornered by her ex Abdul-Ahad and former ‘LHHH’ cast-member Milan Christopher on Instagram Live. The men confronted Mari about “leaking” her own sex tape and Christopher accused the star of trying to create a storyline for television.

50 Cent chimed in on the conversation and wrote, “Reality Tv is crazy, they do all this to create story lines. Smh 🤦‍♂️and Floyd cross me for this girl.🤨get the strap.”

The rapper also reposted a screenshot of Christopher saying he was sitting beside Mari when she leaked the video. 50 Cent added, “👀 Oh my, this is crazy but at least they are telling the truth now. 🤨get the strap.”

According to the Instagram Live video, Mari was apparently with Akbar even after the video was leaked. She also has a pending lawsuit against the married the man.

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.
