Teyana says agreeing to threesomes with her husband doesn't mean a woman is "trying to keep her man."
"You'll be surprised how the woman initiates a lot of stuff," she said.

"Put some respect on a woman's swag. I feel like it's always like, they're trying to take that away from a woman to feel like, 'Oh, you doing it because that's what he wants.' And it's like... actually, I run this sh*t."
Teyana said they haven't had a threesome in a while due to their busy schedules and raising their two daughters.
She says communication is the key to avoid resentment in their marriage.
Teyana Taylor has her hands full on the road with her two daughters while on tour. So this latest news about her wayward husband couldn't come at a worse time.
It seems that Iman Shumpert was spotted in a nightclub with another woman while Teyana is on the final leg of her "The Last Rose Tour."
According to Instagram blogger Fee, of Gossip of the City, Iman was seen "partying" all night long with a woman who was said to be "all up on him" in the clip.

He was arrested and later released on bond.
Meanwhile, a fan recorded a video of Iman onstage with his R&B singer wife on tour over the weekend.
"No more flights!" she says, as the audience laughed. Watch the video below.
The show must go on. Singer Teyana Taylor isn't letting her husband's recent drug arrest stop her from going out on tour.

I love you all so much & appreciate you for taking this joy ride with me.... But just remember, when one door closes, we have another one that opens. See you soon."

Teyana is everywhere lately. She is fresh off her 2022 Farewell Tour where tickets sold like crazy. She and husband Iman recently walked the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of "The Kardashians." And just today, April 11, she attended the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for rap producer DJ Khaled.
In the cover story, Teyana, 31, gushed about raising daughters Junie and Rue.
Meanwhile the winner of "Dancing with the Stars" is used to being recognized as Teyana's husband or Junie and Rue's daddy.

"People back home might be like, 'Oh that's L'Tanya's son.' If you're a fan of my wife, then it's 'that's Teyana’s husband.' Or, it's 'that's Junie's dad," said Iman. "That's Rue’s daddy. Look, he looks just like Rue. It's always in association with my family. I have 65-year-old women come up to me and say, 'I just love you. You're a great dad—and boy, you can dance!' Kids come up to me and tell me they watch our [reality] show, they have no clue that I even play ball. I'm so many different people to everyone. But it's cool."
Iman, 31, is still waiting for an NBA team to offer him a contract. Until then, he's content to be a stay-at-home girl dad.

On Saturday, the mom-of-2 attended Rick Owens' runway fashion show with her daughter, Junie, in tow. Like most good moms, Teyana takes her children with her when she travels because some minor children suffer attachment disorders during long separations from mom.

Last month, Teyana shut down rumors that she was a drug addict who was hospitalized after an overdose when she learned her husband, Iman, was cheating on her.
She tweeted:
"The person who sent in this CAP [a**] TikTok story is a fool, the person who 're-enacted' this CAP [a**] story is a fool (she better have her court coin ready) but the people who believed the CAP [a**] story are the biggest fools smh. Y'all allowed a YT girl to pull some shit like this during black history month???"
Teyana Taylor is following in Cardi B's footsteps and threatening bloggers who lie (cap) about her personal home life.
According to Lovebscott, it all started when someone sent a fake story to a popular TikTok blogger who reenacts "unconfirmed stories & parodies" in videos.
In the reenactment, the TikTok blogger, @klatschhh, portrayed an unnamed singer "with two daughters" who watches her husband Iman Shumpert on "Dancing with the Stars."

As you know, Iman Shumpert won DWTS last year.
Supposedly, the unnamed singer took an overdose of nose candy and wound up in the hospital. If you recall, Teyana posted a photo of herself in an emergency room after working herself to exhaustion on tour.
In a social media post, Teyana threatened the TikTok blogger with legal action and advised her to "have her court coin ready." She was further outraged that the troll sent the fake story to a white woman during Black History Month.
"The person who sent in this CAP ass TikTok story is a fool, the person who 're-enacted' this CAP ass story is a fool (she better have her court coin ready) but the people who believed the CAP ass story are the biggest fools smh,” Teyana wrote in a since-deleted post responding to the accusations. "Y'all allow a YT girl to pull some shit like this during Black History Month???"
NOBODY AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOBODY CAN MAKE PETUNIA OVERDOSE ON A DAMN THING," she said. "I'd kill @imanshumpert fine ass, put him in a nice suit and bury him my damn self before I EVER let him or ANYBODY to push me to do drugs or take myself out."
Ppl are dying, police are still killing our brothers, our brothers are still killing our brothers, Black women are still the most disrespected & unprotected women in the world," she wrote. "Kids are still [getting] trafficked. We got bigger fucking fish to fry here y’all. Get focused damn smh. Now carry on. Nothing to see here."
Teyana Taylor's body gave out after she worked herself to exhaustion to pay the household bills while her husband Iman Shumpert competed in a dance competition.
The 30-year-old mom-of-two shared an Instagram photo from her hospital bed after she collapsed during a concert on Saturday. She flashed a peace sign while covered in blankets on a gurney.

The "We Got Love" singer captioned the image:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all the warm love, sweet videos & prayers from my CT rose petals... I love y'all! Thank you for being so understanding. Y'all know Petunia don’t miss no shows & most importantly, know I've been leaving it all on tha stage for a month straight 1000%. So I am really saddened to have not been able to do the same for you last night."
She added:
"My team & I tried everything down to the very last second to get me out on that stage, but my body simply just gave out, which actually started a few days ago. SHUT DOWN, my body actually low key betrayed me cause ah bitch was tryna get on that stage. Y'all know I'm with the shits! y'all have seen me with a broken foot and all types of other crazy shit but still got on that stage and bodied it..."

The NBA free agent is hoping a team will sign him after he took off months to practice and compete in season 30 of DWTS. He hasn't played in the NBA since February when the Brooklyn Nets signed him to a 10-day contract.
"Trying to see what we can get done. I love basketball. I never stopped playing," Shumpert, 31, told TMZ. "They call me a 'former', 'ex', but I told them the league just didn't pay me this year. It's not an 'ex' thing. Me and the league didn't break up."

Iman said he isn't waiting by the phone for a team to call. He's doing other things to pay the rent because he has two mouths to feed at home.
"I'll be doing other opportunities until that happens," he said. "I play basketball because I love it, not to wait on a job at the same time."
Iman won an NBA championship ring with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.

"How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. However for every goodbye God makes the next hello closer. Come out and watch me, leave it all out on the stage... One last time... Just for you & as my last rose petal falls, I say farewell..."
Her last sentence left some fans confused. Teyana reportedly underwent a double mastectomy after discovering lumps in her breasts in Miami earlier this year.
Due to her family history of cancer she decided not to take any chances.

Teyana and her husband, NBA star Iman Shumpert share two daughters named Iman Tayla and Rue.
Teyana Taylor is reportedly recovering from emergency bilateral mastectomy surgery after discovering multiple lumps in both breasts.
The singer and actress's health scare is covered in the latest episode of her E! reality series "We Got Love Teyana & Iman" (see video below).
The 30-year-old mom of two is seen having a biopsy conducted on her "dense" breast tissue, with the samples sent to be analyzed.
Teyana said she has a family history of breast cancer, and reportedly made the difficult decision to have both breasts and nearby lymph nodes removed.

"I just want this to be the last time I go through this," Teyana explained while fighting back tears. "Cancer runs through my family, so it's a scary thing both for me and Iman," she said, referring to her husband Iman Shumpert.
Uncertain of the outcome of her surgery, Teyana asked Iman to take their daughters to Chicago to be with his family.
During the surgery, Teyana's doctor removed a sample of breast tissue for lab analysis. Fortunately, the biopsy samples were not cancerous.

After recovering for a week in Miami, Teyana returned home to Atlanta, where she was greeted by her eldest child, who made her a card and had a bunch of flowers.
"Oh my gosh, it's so great to see them right now because honestly this week in Miami has been very, very emotional for me because it's very seldom that we're apart. Junie is so loving and caring."

Teyana said it is difficult not picking up her daughters, 5-year-old Junie and 11-month-old Rue, after being advised to avoid any lifting for the next six weeks.
Rue struggled to understand why her mom wasn't picking her up, as Teyana explained:
"Rue don't understand what's going on. She's like, 'Pick me up, hello, what are you doing?' I can't do any tight hugs. I don't even know if I'm going to last six weeks."

Later in the episode, Teyana reflected on the surgery, saying:
"I accept every single body scar, everything that comes with mommy-hood, but the changes physically, mentally, emotionally, it's crazy. As mommies, we really are super-women.
"It's been a rough year for me, but I feel like I, like, overcome it and I did a great job of balancing everything, trying to be mommy, trying to be wife, trying to be entrepreneur and everything else I have going on. I just want to enjoy this moment and try not to think of the negative."
Teyana Taylor has officially arrived. The former child star was named Maxim magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive.
The singer, dancer, model and business woman is the first Black woman to receive the honor.

Teyana made the transition from singer to directing music videos for other artists such as Macy Gray, Queen Naija and Monica Brown.
"Honestly, directing is one of the best things that I've ever done, and one of my favorite things in my career that I'm doing, 'cause I kind of always had that eye,” Taylor said to Maxim.
The aspiring songwriter has also written songs for Usher, Chris Brown, and Omarion.
