‘We Don’t Believe U’: Fans Call Foul on Lil Mo’s Supposed Split with Husband Karl Dargan

It seems R&B singer Lil Mo is calling it quits with professional boxer and husband Karl Dargan.

If folks can recall, the couple appeared on a recent season of We TV’s “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition,” where viewers publicly witnessed their ongoing relationship issues. Dargan was even spotted on FaceTime with another woman during the series while his wife was in another room. After the show ended, they managed to stick it out together, but now after just four years of marriage it looks like they’re headed toward splitsville.

Mo took to her Instagram page on Tuesday with a photo of herself sitting on a throne-like chair with a crown on and a lengthy post hinting that she was no longer married.

“Queen!!!” she exclaimed in her caption. “I don’t do bum s–t or flock with peasants. That s–t beneath me. F–k nigga free GLOW! Get rid of the dead weight and level up. Told y’all i was gonna get ME back. Believe in me. Lil Mo #savageheart Issa movement. I reinvented myself 👑🐐.”

She also posted a tweet a few months back in March and wrote, “This hurts soooo bad. BUT this the last L i’m taking for the TEAM (my 5 that keeps me alive). love y’all,” despite posting a photo of her and Dargan together just weeks before on her Instagram page.

Fans however didn’t buy Mo’s remarks.

“Now girl Mo you know don’t nobody believe you no more than they believe that nigga saying he didn’t take that lady’s 💳 😩.”

“She lying. She said that before but still stayed with his cheating ass even after he got caught facetiming a b–ch.”

“We don’t believe u 🙄 Let me see the finalized divorce papers so I know it’s real 🤔.”

The couple’s alleged split comes after Dargan was accused of stealing a woman’s credit card at a Philadelphia Dave & Buster’s this week. A woman named Ashley Gray came forward on Facebook and claimed the boxer found her debit card on the ground and racked up $170 of game cards for his children. He, of course, denied the claims, tweeting, “If i woulda found a debit card i woulda MAXED that bitch out. F–k u talking bout.”

Nevertheless, there are folks who believe the “Superwoman” artist is finished with Dargan for good and seem to be rooting for her.

“Yasss🙌🏾 I hope this means what I think it does! Leave him sis! Hell u can do bad all by yourself ..shied.”

“Yassssss glad u back sis living your life to the fullest queen cause u can do bad all by yourself keep rising to the top 👑💜🥂.”

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.
