Social Media Slams Lil Mo for Taking Husband Karl Dargan Back After Seemingly Cheating on ‘Marriage Boot Camp’

R&B artist Lil Mo is receiving an earful from fans for staying with her husband, boxer Karl Dargan, after he was spotted on national television caking with another woman.

The couple currently star on “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition” and are in the midst of repairing their relationship. Mo expressed on the show that she has trouble trusting her husband due to prior situations with infidelity. However, Dargan did everything but prove his wife wrong when he was spotted talking to another woman on FaceTime while his wife was in another room.

Mo was getting ready for bed when Dargan went into the kitchen to grab some cereal and received a phone call from a mysterious woman who was clearly not his wife. The “MBC” house which is planted with 27 cameras, picks up on the boxer’s late night conversation with the woman and in the midst of it, he tells her, “Tell me you love me.” The woman replied back, “I love you.”

After the episode aired on Feb. 7, Lil Mo took to Twitter and released a stream of irate messages.

“Almost done and this nigga do some CAP S–T,” the singer wrote. “Now I’m mad all over again. I should kick him in his fu–in neck yo. Dirty a– whores.”

When a fan tweeted her about the scene, she mentioned that the video of Dargan’s FaceTime call was the reason she had trust issues. She also told followers, “I would never disrespect nobody on TV like that especially when I’m tryna fix it. I wouldn’t do nothing sneaky like that. EVER.”

Dargan who appeared defensive after the airing of the episode, responded back to his wife’s tirade by insinuating that she needs to leave him.

“If u really feel that way, it’s only one thing to do…. RT @THELILMOSHOW.”

The next day on Feb. 8, the “Superwoman” singer posted a photo of her and her husband hugged up. She wrote in her Instagram caption, “#thedargans. … me and my best friend @dynamitetko MY 🍯👑.” Fans expressed disappointment to see her still with Dargan after he was seemingly caught cheating on television.

“Sooo you stayed with him after what he did on marriage boot camp 🤡?” one fan asked in disappointment.

“This is a joke. Fr. If you knew bttr you’d do bttr!” another fan exclaimed. “Damn you have low self esteem smh,” another added.

“Yo I’m so mad after watching last nights episode I’m disgusted y u stayed with him Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ u dumb just like the rest of them,” a third added.

In 2016, Mo’s husband was accused of getting another woman pregnant. Several tweets and direct messages went viral indicating that Dargan cheated. However, Lil Mo stayed by her husband’s side on social media and tweeted, “No weapon… I love you @dynamiteko.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
