Teairra Mari Slammed For Fake Story Line After Ex-Boyfriend’s Marriage Comes to Light

During Monday night’s episode of “Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood“, Teairra Mari‘s new boyfriend Akbar Abdul-Ahad gets exposed for cheating and the singer has no clue.

Mari’s friends Paris Phillips and Nikki Baby got a bad vibe from their first encounter with Ahad and decided to probe into his personal life.

Phillips and Nikki discovered that Abdul-Ahad was married to a woman named Sade who claimed the man was her “husband.” Mari’s friends met up with Sade during a secret meeting and confronted her about Mari’s and Abdul-Ahad’s relationship. The woman said she already knew about her husband’s relationship with Mari and said their “arrangement” was none of her business.

The ladies broke the heartbreaking news to Mari and told her about their findings. Nevertheless, the “Stay In Ya Lane” singer said she was completely aware of Sade and claimed the woman was his ex-wife.

However, Brooke Valentine told Phillips that Abdul-Ahad was also dealing with another woman named Alejandra and the two owned a gym together. Phillips and Nikki dropped by the gym and confronted the fitness trainer. Alejandra was completely aware of Abdul-Ahad’s wife Sade and Mari. The situation became overwhelming for Mari’s friends and they quickly left the building.

Fans were stunned by Phillips and Nikki’s revelations and lit Twitter on fire.

“She knew he was married,” said one fan.

“What’s wrong with these different ladies defending that Akbar dude,” one viewer wrote.

“They nasty, he ain’t all that anyway wtf I wish I would be in a situation like this ain’t no way,” a Twitter user wrote.

Another fan added, “I feel like she had her suspicions but just said f it for the story line cause she’s giving herself Nicki Paris and akbar a storyline with this bs.”

Mari accused Abdul-Ahad of leaking a sex tape of her on Instagram in May and pursued legal action against him. Mari’s ex-boyfriend denied the allegations and said she was the person who leaked the video. The singer’s case is currently pending.

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.
