G Herbo Professes Love For Fabolous and Emily B’s Daughter Taina on Her Birthday, Folks Bring Up Cheating Scandal With Ex-Girlfriend Instead

While some rappers are still playing the hardened love-them-and-leave-them role, G Herbo is doing the opposite by openly expressing his love for Taina Williams, Emily B‘s daughter and Fabolous‘ stepdaugher.

Williams turned 21 years old on April 1, and Herbo sent her a romantic Instagram message that got a lot of attention.

“I could have tried to talk to you & at least get your # when I first seen you but something told me not to… Wait until the time right and it was,” he wrote on Monday. “Happy birthday to prolly the most understanding person I ever met.”

Before Williams, Herbo was with a woman named Ariana Fletcher, and they have a son together, Yosohn Santana Wright. In October 2018, Fletcher suddenly announced she was single, which was shortly after there were rumors that Herbo cheated on her with Williams.

“I’m only addressing this because you weak ass hoes f—ing folks and I’m not gone lie it’s embarrassing because y’all so weak so I don’t want y’all thinking y’all f–king my n—-,” wrote Fletcher in a now deleted Instagram message. “F–k at your own risk!”

Besides Herbo, Fabolous and Emily B celebrated Williams’ birthday on social media, and Fab expressed how proud he is.

“How she only 21 but she a savage!!” wrote the rapper Monday on Instagram. “Watched you blossom into a Rose & can’t wait to see what else you do in Life now that you’ve grown into a amazing young lady. I’ll be here for you every step of the way!! Love you ❤️ #Taina21.”

Emily used a photo of Williams to send her birthday message, and she expressed her love as well. Then people left various comments, especially under Herbo’s post. In fact, some brought up Fletcher and the cheating allegation, but some just said they liked the rapper’s message.

“Wow love this,” someone wrote.

“you cheat on ari while she going through postpartum smh disgusting,” another person commented.

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.
