Waka Flocka’s wife Tammy Rivera is opening up about why she decided to stay with her husband after infidelity. And her responses are definitely conversation worthy. Find out what she said inside…
Over the summer, Hip Hop couple Waka Flocka and Tammy Rivera Malphurs had decided to go their separate ways. Both the “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star and the ATL rapper took to Instagrams to confirm that they had called it quits after two years of marriage. And they were adamant that it had nothing to do with either of them cheating on the other, despite rumors floating around that Waka had cheated.
About a month later, they decided to give it another shot and made sure to let the world know in a Periscope video.
In a new interview with Bleu Bombshell, Tammy gets candid about why she chose to take the “No Hands” rapper back. She says he's a good man and justifies his actions (which could possibly include cheating) based on the way he grew up by not having a father in his home as a role model.
“Because my husband is a good man,” she said. “He’s a great man, and I think in today’s society everything is so disposable. Times are not the same, women nowadays you know they say ‘oh let me just do this, I can go out and find me another man, n*ggas aint nothing.’ You know, all of that, and I get it. But then on the other side you have men who aren’t growing up with fathers, not making excuses for men to cheat, but you have men who never seen what a household is supposed to look like – my husband was never in a married household. He didn’t know.”
The swimsuit designer believes the way her husband was brought up and coming into fame so early in his life is what makes his susceptible to cheating:
“His mom was a hustler, you know what i’m saying, she was out in the streets she was the mom and the dad. He doesn’t know—he grew up in the industry. He had early stardom with his career, I think Waka was in his early 20s mid 20s when he dropped his first hit. So you have all these groupies, you have all these things but despite all of that, behind closed doors -this man loves me to death and I know he loves my child to death. He does anything for us.”
Tammy says she took Waka back because its hard to find real love and she feels it would have been “weak” of her to walk away from her marriage without trying to fight for it.
“So, my mom always told me– you can find a man who can financially take care of you, you can find a man who might not be a cheater, might have it all together, might of grew up with a father in their household, but it’s hard to find real love and a person who genuinely loves you and who is willing to change, my husband was willing to change for his family. So why would I give up on my husband. I’m not that type, I think that’s weak of a woman to do that. It’s easier to walk away as opposed to than to speaking up! No we’re going to fight for this we got married. My family is worth fighting for.”
Hmm…
Twitter was in a tizzy over Tammy’s comments and they made sure she heard them. Most folks disagreed with Tammy’s comments while some people agreed with her. She took to her account to address the interview, claiming they switched up her words:
