In November, TMZ confirmed that Teyana Taylor had secretly filed for divorce in January 2023.
The — somewhat contentious — proceedings are ongoing so imagine our surprise when Iman commented on Teyana’s look for the Met Gala.
Teyana embodied a “Rose in Harlem” vibes with a spectacular red dress and platinum blonde hair for contrast.
Not tagging Teyana he hopped on Twitter saying.
“Yeah you ate … but I ain’t tellin you that s–t,”
Yeah you ate…but I ain’t tellin you that shit. ????????

He even went as far as retweeting a fan who said ….
“That she did!!!! The power of that blonde hair lil red dress combo!”
Someone called him “messy” for his tweet and another told him to “keep it 100,”
In response, Iman defended his tweet by responding:
“lol it was a cute way to say she kilt it. But people don’t laugh enough in life.”
He agreed that he was being messy saying;
“Asf but they was promoting all the wrong fits. Couldn’t stand for it.”
When another follower asked, “so why you tell us, bookie?”, he replied, “Obviously so y’all can tell her … and I don’t have to … Are yall goofy or yall just fw me.”

Another user made the point that there was no way he was being a ‘hater’ or messy because he clearly said it publicly.
“Lmao the reactions to this are crazy to me because I feel like if he was being ‘a hater’ he wouldn’t say this where she and everyone else could see it …. ????? but maybe I’m trippin???”
Back in September, Teyana revealed the couple separated.
“In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure,” she said at the time. “We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children. Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT.”
“The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved,” she added. “I hope this provided some clarity for y’all.”

Teyana Taylor looks gorgeous and is on theme. A disheveled elegance that references a death of kept beauty, the last petal before its inevitable fall like the short story. #MetGala pic.twitter.com/m4nDCt4gFO
