Joe Budden and Tahiry seemed to be following in the footsteps of former “Love & Hip Hop” power couple Chrissy Lampkin and Jim Jones when they reunited at the end of last season of the show. Only four episodes into the new season, the couple is already on the outs and reports claim that Tahiry turned a proposal from Joe on camera. With their second try at love having seemingly gone up in smoke, Tahiry is now speaking out on how she really thought Joe would be the man she would marry.
Both Tahiry and Joe sat down for separate interviews with Necole Bitchie and Tahiry explains that her renewed romance with Joe didn’t last as long as fans thought.
“We were together for five [years], we broke up for four. We got back together for two months. We’ve been in each other’s lives for nine or 10 years,” Tahiry said. “I have great relationships with my exes. What can you say? Moms love me. I’m a keeper. He f—– up.”
Although the couple’s breakup will definitely be covered on “LHH,” Tahiry explains that she was offended that Joe tweeted out news of their breakup online.
“There’s certain things that you protect. You can give the world as much as you want to give them. You’re in control,” Tahiry explained. “I held my relationship with Joey, no matter what it seemed like, very close, and at the moment, I was dealing with it really hard and that was in May, June, July. For him to tweet about it, I thought it was completely disrespectful.”
Although on the show it looked like Joe had been cheating on Tahiry when she found another woman’s hair on his bed, both Tahiry and Joe claim that cheating wasn’t really an issue between them.
“I didn’t cheat, though. I’m not a cheater. I don’t do the cheating thing. Women are not my problematic area. Drugs are my problem area, not women,” Joe confessed.
In spite of his problems, Tahiry explains that she’d always envisioned herself walking down the aisle with Joe and is now dealing with letting that dream go.
“I don’t know what I see in the future. I never saw me walking down the aisle and him not being the one at the end of it,” Tahiry shared. “Today, I don’t know what God has in store for me. I just pray and I keep it moving.”
However, if Joe has it his way, he and Tahiry will find their way back to each other again.
“Only my higher power knows. I’m gonna try my best to get it there. We’ll see,” said Joe, who explained that they’re still filming for this season.
We’re excited to see what happens between these two, but they’re not the only couple who fell apart on TV. Check out some other reality TV couples who didn’t last below. – nicholas robinson
