Teyana Taylor Says GOOD Riddance To Ray Rice Rumors

Written By Cyrus Langhorne

G.O.O.D. Music's Teyana Taylor has stepped forward to speak out on rumors about being the motivation behind the now-infamous Ray Rice attack on his wife Janay Palmer-Rice.

Despite the widespread rumors, Taylor denied having any connection to the February altercation.

“No one received a text from me. I had nothing to do with that. These were also the same blogs that said that I accused Colin Kaepernik of raping me and when the actual girl came out and said who she was, there was no apology to Teyana. Nobody cleaned it up. So now I’m at a point where all I can do is laugh at it. People feel like they know your life and it’s so sad, because it’s our people. This is a big matter. ESPN hasn’t said my name. No sports blogs have said my name but a whole bunch of our people. Our people who want it to be true so bad but I can’t entertain those type of things.” (Mina SayWhat)

Teyana also delved into her close-knit relationship to the suspended NFL player.

“What I won’t downplay is me and Ray. We used to stay in the same building. He dated my best friend. I was on the phone with her and she was laughing like, ‘don’t even feed into that.’ I never touched that man. That’s my homie. I don’t condone what he did, and I don’t condone what his wife did. They need to work that out and figure it out, however, she shouldn’t have hit him and he shouldn’t hit her. I feel like there is a double standard because sometimes we don’t realize that a man is still a man but Ray shouldn’t have put his hands on her and she shouldn’t have put her hands on him.” (Mina SayWhat)

Some media outlets hinted at Rice and Taylor sharing a public relationship over social media.

There were also several flirty tweets exchanged between Ray and Teyana that date back to 2009, and somehow resurfaced. In one particular series of tweets, Teyana teased Ray for dating “man looking girls” who are a “lil ruff in tha face.” Even rapper and reality star Joe Budden seemed to imply that he had some level of knowledge about Ray and Teyana’s affair.

The suspended NFL player’s wife jumped onto her Instagram page this week to address the drama.

“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare in itself. No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his a** off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don’t you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you’ve succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love!,” Mrs. Rice wrote September 9. (Janay Palmer-Rice’s Instagram)
