Legendary rapper MC Lyte tied the knot with her fiancé John Wyche in Jamaica over the weekend. The 46-year-old DJ/actress was a practicing lesbian for most of her adult life — until she met the man of her dreams.
The “Ruffneck” hitmaker, whose real name is Lana Moorer, wed the U.S. Marine Corp veteran at the Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort in Montego Bay, where friend and singer Kelly Price serenaded the couple during the nuptials, according to WENN.com.
“It was so beautiful and a fairytale,” Lana tells Essence magazine. “I got my king.”
The intimate ceremony was attended by many of the couple’s old skool friends, including rappers YoYo, Niatia “Lil Mama” Kirkland, and SWV‘s Cheryl “Coko” Gamble.
“It’s incredible so many people came out to support our union,” John says. “We are starting out with a strong foundation. A few months into getting to know Lana I knew I wanted this woman as my wife.”
MC Lyte and her new husband met online last year and announced they were dating in January. They became engaged in May.
Lana, who was involved a longterm relationship with actress Tichina Arnold in the 1990s, dated other women for a while, but she soon gave up on the lesbian lifestyle.
She tells Essence magazine she knew John was the right one for her after an intimate conversation.
“It was one day while we were talking and I kind of looked in his eyes and I was like, ‘Oh my God, so much honesty and truth in his eyes’,” she told Essence in May. “My biggest thing with dating ever was the ability to be open and I can totally just let go with him.”
She also urged women to be more aware of who they are if they want to find love.
“Just being alone, being single in Los Angeles, California (opened my eyes to that),” she continued. “That is a hard thing to do for a black woman, to date and it be authentic and true. So I think when you’re present and you’re aware, it opens you up.”
Feel good story!!! Congrats! Took me some failures to be patient for my King to arrive as well! So worth the wait!
What?? Congratulations to the beautiful couple. .
Congrats!
Congrats! Beautiful couple.

Yall play to much LOLOLOLOL. But ummmm yea congrats.
Sandra you done did it now.
GETTTTTTTTTT HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR DUBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!
Good for her!!! It’s good to see that some people still believe in love and marriage.
Here, ? catch, Sandra. You next. You and Slim Spring 2018
Heterosexual couple….. YAY!
Hmmm…One of the first rules of marriage; don’t recite in public how “wonderful” and “real” and “meant to be” your union is. Makes it harder to defend when couples eventually come back to earth.
Lil mama ain’t old school.. hold wait.
When you say you love me
It doesn’t matter ?
It goes to my head as just chit chatter ?
Congrats ?
Me too
He looks like that actor who is always playing ‘Uncle’ AKA Mama’s child molesting a$$ boyfriend. Can’t think of his name,but ya’ll know who I’m talking about.
Well he must be very open-minded because Lyte STILL loves her a mouth full of cooch almost as much as she loves Popeyes Chicken!
I’m told Lyte is trying to get a reality TV show, but I find it hard to believe that a network would care about her at all.
Its me. I dont know why Sandra went in on the female love of my life like that.

Im happy for you Lyte. I still love you.
Congrats to them!! A nice looking couple!!
When she came here in the Love Jones musical she had a husband in the musical and it just didn’t seem natural….
Almost awkward
Remove the palm trees because it’s oh so much shade with that title smh lol. Congrats to Lyte and I’m glad she’s happy.
Maybe he’s ok with that… threesomes are popular in marriages nowadays
LMAO
She spoke only the truth about being single in L.A. It’s no fun but when you decide to stop accepting BS, there will be time and energy to give to a real person.
celebrating black love….

Nice…
And yeah, she is looking a lil Shug Averyish in that pic…
I didnt know about her and beedeebee that’s how folks back in the day kept things to themselves hetero or gay. It wasn’t a fake made for reality tv moment either.
Youbetcha
Tv
i think he looks like project pat from 3 6 mafia. Lol
Congrats to her!! It dont matter what she did in the past right now she getting piped down and she look happy.
so that means its a man out there for you auntie! ????
Congrats to her, one of my mom’s favorites…
Congrats to MC Lyte!!! She was out before I was born but I love her music.#Georgie Porgie and #Keep On Keeping On, as well as other masterpieces.
I know my music! In fact most of the music I love came out before I was born. There are exceptions but not many.
Practicing lesbian LOL chile Im gonna have to use that…I guess its a phase for my friend too. She got married to a woman they going through it now but I told her to rock with it for another two years so she could qualify for alimony….
She’ll live to one day eat those words. They always do.
Sandra strikes again lol

I liked MC Lyte role as a Hit Woman in Queen of the South.
That’s all I got…
On another note…what happened to the morning wood posts? I need some new material. ?
Lyte also had a long term relationship with one of the Torrey brother’s back in the 90s. I want to say it was Guy. That’s the reason I never really believed she was gay. I have never seen evidence that she was dating women. Congrats to the newlyweds.
The headline.. “to a man”. Smh auntie. But I am surprised I must admit. Love Lyte.
LMAOOOOOOOOOO. Nothing like a good pipe down.
Good for Her, they make a cute couple.
He looks like a older version of that actor in Moonlighting?! Something Ali?!???
Lol leave Auntee along, Lol.
You’re going to burn in the hottest part of hell for that one.
McLyte was popular before the internet, reality tv and Instagram so even if she had been a lesbian there would not have been any advertising like the Queen.
I have heard that straight men enjoy watching two women going at it.
I’ve only heard.
Ha,ha,ha!!
Nene looks as if she doing an ugly-cry oh that’s right she’s smiling.
Bless her heart.
Hey you never know, I was watching Shanice Un-Sung yesterday and 3 yrs later I’m still scratching my head at why Oxygen gave her and corny azz Flex a show.
Maybe if every now and again she get that itch, they get to scratch it together.
Well he don’t look like a Ruffneck. Maybe that’s part of finally growing up.
Here’s my thing, how do you meet MCLyte online?
lmao at Ruffneck. Good throwback.
I know right. So far the young girls reading, have your fun but don’t expect much from it and know when to movie. You can’t turn a man-ho into a husband either.
Practicing lesbian ? Ok Aunt Tea ?? I see you got time today ?
Wow……………………………………………………………
Jesus delivers. (Keep it moving. My opinion.)
Kelly Price must have made special arrangements for this wedding because she’s usually booked. Lol.
now i coulda swore mc lyte was… nevermind
Yessss!!! Congrats to the good looking couple!!
I am waiting for to do the I been delivered dance.
Congrats to Ms Lyte. I wonder if he’s a ruffneck
Seems like an Anne Heche situation.
Maybe we should all just wish her well and hope for the best for them.
Is that so? Someone booking her evil ass?
She always got time.
I just realized that it was a such thing a Torrey brothers. I just thought was same dude using multiple street names… like Diddy, sometimes Puff Daddy, P.Diddy, Sean John
Exactly
His name is Slim.
Nope
Exactly, especially the one on the right.
? im so shocked !!! i always thought she swam in the lady pond ??
ALWAYS!!!!!! The blog name could be I Got Time ???
Clinton Powell? He”s always playing a shady role.
I love Mc Lyte, but we all know how this is going to end. I’ll meet you in the comments section when Sandra writes about their divorce.
Yes, they scare me in real life! LOL.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!
Nope, but she stayed fronting on R&B Divas like she was booked.
You can tell us Roderick. We won’t tell anyone….
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats
LOLLOOLOL!!!!!!! Maybe Sandy Mae will have a big wedding for her and her hunky guy and invite us all!!!!!
I’m loving the title! LOLLOLLOL!!!!! Maybe he is bisexual also — who knows what the hell he was doing in the Marines. Anyway, sounds like they are really happy with one another…
Congrats, I guess she has her ruffneck now, ??????To the alley CATS ?
Who..what? She was gay? or practicing?lol, I can’t with Sandra terms…was this a rumor or was she out?
A “practicing lesbian” is a full-time lesbian, as opposed to a part-time or retired lesbian.
Probably on Twitter or Facebook.
Everybody in the lesbian community knew Lyte and beady bee were shacking up in Atlanta. This was before Twitter or Facebook, when people actually communicated by word of mouth.
Lol. I have no interest in men or women pretending to be men.
Good. Glad to see she saved herself for the right man. On her wedding night she will be like a virgin kissed for the very first time.
See….why mix rumor in with the facts from the Essence story like they are one in the same….she didn’t say anything about being gay in that Essence interview….
Sandra your time will to get a nice husband I think you will do well with a man. See lesbian also transition back to a man. She Mc Lyte just miss the masculinity aurora of a man to hold her night. Also that nice vein penis when erect noting compare to the new warning velvety smooth feeling
“…noting compare to the new warning velvety smooth feeling.”
“…when you’re present and you’re aware, it opens you up.”
Yes
She was with Tichina for years. It’s actually public knowledge, if you ran in the gay circle back in the 90’s.
They met on Meetup.com
Congrats to MC Lyte. I am so proud that love has found her. Hes cute to.
And in NY…
“…noting compare to the new warning velvety smooth feeling.”
“…when you’re present and you’re aware, it opens you up.”
YES!!! YES!!! YYYYYESSSSS!!!
SandraRose do you have an extra cigarette?
Congrats to the happy couple!
Auntie why don’t you like men? Is it just that you always been attracted to women?
Can I ask what do you do? I seen your instagram before. Just curious.
has it ever been confirmed she was an lesbian or yall assumed cause you never seen her with anyone?
Yeah, I did a search, all I found were rumors; I saw pics of them but nothing legit. Wow. Wait…isn’t Tichina with a man too…I can’t keep up. sigh.
Me. Why?
I won’t go. I don’t want to think it’s sign that she shouldn’t marry that man. ??
I remembered she did.
Yep.
Ima go and bring a gift too! ?
You go and Sandra gonna be like… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/968f7bd5dc626b67d0dc96dc9e967ff7b7bda48589591c5aa3f3b98eb9d5886a.gif
Wow that’s new to me
That’s why I said when folks kept ish to themselvess. I miss those days.
He’s a tall glass of chocolate, and that is very good thing.
Congratulations to the lovely couple sandra wants everyone to be gay
It look like you sell art or something.
Have you ever had a strong chocolate double scoop man that can just make u melt, the smell of his cologne, his passionate touch, the sound of his body pressing against your softness skin, as he grips you with all his passion, like no one else in the world even exsist. He soothes you his breath like music to your ears. Ahhhhh.
Girl me either but ill put it out there for the universe to srnd it my way. Thank you ancestors in advancr.
Hollering! That was a good one. Chile, you got me into it too!
I do abstract art as a hobby. My home is overflowing. Although requested, so far I can’t part with any of it. LOL.
Lol!!! I watched two episodes (even though I really do like Shanice and Flex) and it was so boring I removed it from my DVR.
???
Congratulations!
??? This is straight out of a romance novel!!
Never thought she was gay eh probably bi but not gay
oh okay lol
Why didn’t you tell me this before she was off the market! It’s too late now. Now all that’s left on there is that Amil Whitehead chick. Nobody even remember who that is. HA HA
Joe and Guy Torrey used to be popular comedians/actors. I don’t know what happened to them.
I just inboxed you on meetup.com LOLOLOL
She married a service man. Nice. Congrats and good luck to the happy couple.
wait what now tichina arnold?!
I was dozing off. Did I just hear Don Lemon say his father use to tell him, “don’t let anybody steal your manhood?”
Congrats
Sandra, you next? ??
Awww Im so happy for her. Thank God she gave of that lesbian lifestyle !
I still dont understand the concept, when people dont see you have anyone they think your gay?? Like what is the connection? There are plenty os gay couples in the world.. what is the correlation. Do they assume your seacretly liviinf a gay lifestyle thats why your gay… I know plenty of happy gay couples. I seriously dont get it.
I met her once at a party. She was incredibly down to earth approachable and loving.
“Oh my God, so much honesty and truth in his eyes.” Perhaps this is an accurate assessment but then again it could be that he has mastered the art of lying, like so many others. Mc Lyte really sounded vulnerable and ready to fall for just about any “man” who came along. Maybe there’s a baby in the future. Hope everything works out.
That was out of pity. Shanice and Flex had been having hard times for years–a lot longer than that UnSung episode suggested.
Flex is so unfunny.
Shanice can still sing but nobody’s listening.
I’d slide out of bed anytime for his ugly ass
He sure ain’t cute. I’ve heard reality show rumors about Lyte from more than a couple of people. Oprah’s name was mentioned. May not materialize.
In any case, remember, I told you first.
That said, I assumed if Lyte ever chose to hire a beard, she’d at least find a semi-good looking one. This man looks like a pet goat.
And I doubt he’s down for watching Lyte get it on with another broad, which I’m sure is gonna continue happening no matter what. Hopefully they bring a strap-on for John because he looks like he enjoys a fat summer sausage himself.
Keep in mind, this is pre-social media so evidence will come in the form of you being there; knowing someone closely associated to the situation and or gossip. One thing I respect is she never felt the need to confirm or deny who she was with. I would’ve handled it the same way. I wish her nothing but happiness. She’s the cutest little thing, and she actually has talent. Before Da Brat and so many other female artist that came after; there was Lyte. A dope ass female emcee from Brooklyn.
All Money Is Legal baby! lol I miss the 90’s!
She could pass ad Jada Pinkett-Smith older sister or aunt.
Ima go as well and buy her a packpack as a wedding gift.
Lil Mama is old school?
Lol, just puttiing it out there, sits back a wait
Mmmm. Ok ..lol
duh she looks like a old dike herself
She was a full black woman in Los Angeles and was into black guys….. No more explanation needed. That is the reason why she was single for so long
Sandra is a middle-aged white man already married , kids in college
Lord only knows what your ugly hateful ass looks like.
Well said
Which is why black women need to continue to expand their options.
You’re right on both accounts. Yes, a voice like Shanice’s is a rarity today.
Yes but its bigger than just expanding option they also need to demand better imagery and more respect. Part of the options issues is because of the huge PR problem that black women have caused by your #1 stereotype creator the American Media.
The American Media has spent a good deal of time destroying images and creating horrible and limited narratives,
DEAD @ your entire post!
LMAO
LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO
WTF!
You sound like you only have a 3rd grade education
I was in love with paper thin mc lyte!
And I see you chose a name that reflects your intellectual prowess: “TT”. Without the capitalization. Lame.
Shut your grammatically challenged ass all the way the hell up
Just because MC Lyte had a prime example of a father in her life that showed her what a man is supposed to be in her life and how to treat her and she waited to find the right man at the right time as opposed to sleeping around does not mean she is a Lesbian.
You still sound like a 3rd grader regardless of the capitalization of my screen name.
What an illiterate statement. You don’t know what someone looks like, and yet they’re ugly?
Its not for you to know what I look like. That’s a privilege you don’t own. BTW, I see you don’t have a pic posted so your ass is not only stupid, but you’re a hypocrite too.
But I’m a good sport. I won’t show you my face, but how about I just invite you to look at my ass–and then kiss it?
That’s your fantasy. Hate to disappoint dear. Of course, I’m assuming in between lectures at NASA and teaching courses at Harvard, you still find time to bestow your presence on us here at Sandra’s site.
Chile, you are a buffoon. Every time you post, you sound retarded. Matter of fact, you give retarded a bad connotation.
Go flush your head down a toilet sweetie.
There you go again. I know you don’t add well, and you never learned to multiply, but a damn near 50 year old woman with no kids and no trail of men who for years dressed and acted like a man equals lesbian.
But she wouldn’t want you anyway so don’t worry about it.
P. E. will be starting soon you better hurry
Why, are you already there?
Did your mommy drop you off or did you just use your regular mode of transport–the short bus?
Why don’t you tell me bout the short bus since you know so much about it
Oh now that was certifiably lame. LOL. Honey, you’re out of your weight class, and its obvious.
I don’t waste a lot of time with lightweights so say goodbye to my left hand.
OK then bye now
Pied Piper is that you again???? You ready for more
Helllooooo????
You still sound like you in the 3rd grade
Could have sworn MC Lyte was married once before to the dude Todd Brown from MTV back in the days! May God bless their union #BlackLove
Congratulations LYTE!…that’s all.
And just a hint of a little alcohol on his breath….mmmhmmm
I know now.
?.
They look so good together.
I know for a fact. She was in a relationship with a family member and she was open about it they didn’t hide their relationship with us or anyone around them. We thought they were going to get married.
Didn’t know that.
Her husband is a everyday Joe. I used to work with him, very good guy.
I’m sure. Much respect.
come again? say what now? Don Lemon was molested though by a few I think.
damn sure can’t.
You sure handled that hateful idiot, LOL !
I forgot this until I read this. Guy Torrey. Can’t even recall when that was.. 90’s or 2000’s.
ohhhhh. okay. I was like what am I missing when she said the sherriff showed up and gave them 5 minutes to get out
I watched 2 or 3 eps and had to move on with my life.. lol.
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the pic. Clifton Powell. Menace ll Society, Dead Presidents, Ray and more.
Lol..What on earth is a summer sausage? Like a bratwurst or kielbasa you put on the grill?
^^^ >>>right here<<<
Congratulations Lyte!!!
I am sure that ass is old, wide and big, someone as nasty and stank as you are is hideous as is your nasty big ole stank wide ass, LOLOL! !!
Congrats!
That will get u the good beat down. Lol
Lol
Ohhh ?
I’m glad she found someone to share her life with…Congrats!
?????? I love me some Lyte! ?
Chile…you either is or you ain’t. I’m sorry, you can’t just wake up one day and chose to be who you’re not. Her marrying a dude is definitely a “choice.” But I wish for her happiness.
? um bi goes both way gay likes their own sex Google free lol
lol sorry
