Rapper MC Lyte Encourages Prenup Agreement As She Discusses Divorce

MC Lyte is finally breaking the silence on her divorce!

The iconic rapper is going out of her way to advise fans on the importance of signing a prenup before entering into a marriage. MC Lyte didn't hesitate in addressing the elephant in the room when it came to spilling the tea about details of her short-lived marriage to John Wyche.

The American rapper and Wyche began their love affair after meeting on a dating app and not long after they got engaged in May 2017. After three months of being engaged to each other, the now-divorced couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Montego Bay, Jamaica. 

The "Poor Georgie" rapper got extremely candid with her fans by discussing a sensitive subject that most couples tend to avoid when planning their marriage. 

Taking to her Instagram page, MC Lyte shared with her 1.9 million followers how her divorce from her ex-husband, Wyche, did not adversely affect her. She also cleared up some rumors that had been flying around about her relationship with the successful entrepreneur. 

MC Lyte began by categorically stating that her divorce from Wyche wasn't chaotic like the public thought. She posted a cryptic note on her page that read, "My divorce was not a battle – MC Lyte."

Expressing her displeasure about the baseless rumor, she wrote in her caption, "I do not agree with or support anything that aims to secure clicks and views by crafting slanted messaging at the expense of the reputation of innocent parties."

She revealed that the delay in signing the divorce papers was because her ex-husband tried to mend his relationship with her, and not because he had any interest in her assets. She then proceeded to dish out some advice to her followers.

First and foremost, she noted, writing, "Divorce does not equal failure. We did not fail; it simply did not work." Praying for herself and her ex, she added, "I pray for his wellbeing as I do my own and I wish him nothing but God's choicest blessings."

Moving on, she wrote, "If you have anything to protect going into a marriage, get a prenuptial agreement, so there's no confusion if it comes to an end." 

Educating her fans to properly invest and secure their assets, she revealed, "Our people are far behind the wealth gap; get a financial education and do what is in your power to protect what God has blessed you with."

She concluded by admonishing her followers to spread love and be mindful of things they utter from their mouths, writing, "With all of the mental health crises we are facing as a human race, my prayer is that we will see more commonalities of heart among each other and less judgment. ✨ #LyteIsLove."

Her colleagues and fans seemed to agree with her and expressed their thoughts in her comment section, with one writing, "Thank You for Using Your voice To protect Truth ?✈️? We Don't Have To Be With Someone To Give Them The Love & Respect They Deserve ???."

A rather impressed fan wrote, "Very Classy my dear!! Well said!!!! ?❤️." Legendary rapper, Fat Joe, wrote, "Lyte we don't care about what these people say… WE LOVE YOU," while American filmmaker, Ava DuVernay, eulogized MC Lyte, writing, "Spoken and written like a true icon."

Another individual went as far as comparing the millennial generation to the Gen z's, writing, "This my people is the difference between us old-skool folks and this new generation… I hope many take heed to this lesson. ? Peace @mclyte ???."

As exclusively reported by The Blast, the "Cha Cha Cha" rapper filed for divorce from Wyche after being married to the businessman for only three years.

The pair who share no kids were once head over heels for each other. Citing no clear reason for the dissolution of their marriage in the legal document obtained, the "Ruffneck" rapper initially gushed about the entrepreneur after getting married to him in August 2017.

In her words, "It's incredible, so many people came out to support our union. We are starting out with a strong foundation." Unfortunately, it seems things didn't go according to plan for the pair.

The Brooklyn native meant business when she advised fans to sign a prenup before tying the knot.

Per The Blast, the veteran rapper, after citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending her marriage, ensured that the prenup, which was in place between her and her ex-husband, was upheld.

Not only did she reserve the right to keep her personal effects, including her "term life insurance policy," but she was also granted the liberty of "keeping her music catalogs, and other creative property, including royalties in connection with her creative works."
