For the past year, rumors have been circulating that K. Michelle was romantically involved with actor Idris Elba, who directed her “Rebellious Soul Musical” for VH1. But now after tiptoeing around the issue for months, K. Michelle has finally revealed the truth about her relationship with Elba.
Michelle opened up about Elba in a recent interview with Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club,” and when Charlamagne Tha God asked her new album, Anyone Wanna Buy a Heart, Michelle confirmed that their romance did inspire her album.
“Yeah, I’m not going sit up here and lie,” she confirmed.
Michelle also addressed the rumors that she broke up Elba’s relationship with the mother of his son, Naiyana Garth, saying that she’s unsure whether she was the side chick or not.
“I don’t … no … He’s not married. And like I said to him, I sent him these records before they came out. He said, ‘This is art. I hate that we’re at this place, but this is art.’ It’s no hate for Idris. He actually was a good man and my thing is, you have to go raise your child. And what I’m not gonna do is get in the way of that. I’m not in the way of his baby mother and his family right now,” said Michelle.
But that’s not all that K. Michelle had to say about Elba. Find out why she broke it off with him after the cut. –nicholas robinson
