Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are getting divorced she secretly moved to end their marriage nearly a year ago and claims he's been a jealous narcissist during their 7-year marriage. In the docs Teyana details the demise of their marriage accusing Iman of being jealous about her fame and feeling insecure about being good enough for her despite the fact he was earning way more playing basketball than she could ever dream of making in music. Teyana claims Iman would grow annoyed when they would attend public events together, and photogs would ask for him to step out of frame. She says when Iman signed a $40 million contract with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015, the same year he was also paid $8 million by the New York Knicks, he remained aggravated by her notoriety, jealous of her acting career and insecure about being her man.

Teyana claims that's when Iman started sending her negative text messages with condescending and manipulative language in response to her being in the spotlight. She claims he would pick fights with her for no reason, even on her birthday, and then apologize.
