So…. I was at a strip club in the GTA, and this Alana chick was goin from girl to girl tryin to recruit video hoes for some “Up n coming” (no name) artist. Her claim to fame was, “I’m Mos Defs wife!!!:)”. I’m sorry but if you’re tryin to sell an image of a rehabiltated, gold diggin, ex stripper. The last thing you should do is try to pimp strippers to your wanna be rapper friends! I’m just sayin!

Ok the marriage wasn’t legal.

She showed her intentions when she referenced Karrine Steffens.

She is not first women with this type of story and sadly she won’t be the last.

If she wanted to use this just to help other girls in this situation, then why drop “nick” names?…because she knew famous “abusers” can promote more $$$$.

Come on Alana, aren’t you tired of being just used for your looks.

Don’t let people simplify you down to what they see.

If this book is the only way to better yourself, than I truly feel sorry for you, but not enough to buy/read the book.

Its sad yet comical how men base their decisions(w/ their eyes and phallus) on sharing material wealth or DNA but women are considered the erratic, emotional thinkers. I agree with some of the previous responses but do not judge Alana Wyatt with such haste – a man chooses a women according to these religious texts. Dante Smith chose an emotionally damaged “ho” for a wife so what does that say about his character? Often men seek out those type women to abuse, exploit for sex or use as decoration which is perverse and objectifying.

Judging from his past, it doesn’t seem he can maintain healthy relationships (unless he is deliberately doing a Bob Marley repopulating the globe with reckless breeding w/o maintaining a base or stability)

Only in this world do we blame the victim. Grimy or not, she doesn’t deserve to be abused or mistreated. He most likely proposed to Her so that was his choice. He is an pseudo intellectual entertainer….not Malcolm X sheesh. Rappers can pretend to be thugs or pretend to be conscious. Men will be men even the funny looking poor literate ones who frequent okayplayer.com crave trophies; just dont have the charisma or money to obtain beauty naturally. Once they get one, they will mistreat them like any other woman. (Never understood how any man could lay his hands on Tammi Terrell)

God bless light skin and baby hair. Gets ‘em every time. I need to hang with her Karrine, Kim K and Tila Tequila. These ladies know how to retire in peace, jk Alana is amazing to look at. Just dont dog her out, he is equally if responsible for the divorce if not mostly.

I don’t see how she was able to write a book. I’ve heard her speak during interviews, and from reading up above its obvious she is not very bright. I am a college educated woman and I would NEVER take advice from her “self-help” book. She has NO good advice to give a young girl. She used the men she dated and they used her. So they are even. She allowed it. I too was a victim of sexual and emotional abuse and guess what…I’m not a gold-digger and I don’t sleep with men to get money. People like this are not women…they are stupid human beings. She should feel blessed that she is not in the Sudan or the Congo–those women don’t have a choice. I don’t pity her.

I love Mos Def as an artist. But to marry a stripper/prostitue on site w/ a 7th grade education!… You went to the bottom of the barrel on this one bruh. That’s just a hoodrat that made it to the top. I don’t want to say that’s what you get, but i can say,” did you expect different”?.. She fotchu dawg, now she’s going to burn you. You slipped on this one bruh.

all yal shakin yall head and quick to judge. i dont understand why, ya she lived a life that would be classified under many negative names but who are you to judge. Instead of all the put downs why wouldn’t you not be encouraging or praying for her to better her life. This is wats so corrupt about the society we live in today we turn against each other expecially females they can be the most trifling. Yea the world may call her a hoe, groupie, and all the rest of negative things they want but as an individual you should be different it takes one person to do something and the rest of the world would follow. She had a real hard life and also did somethings just to get somewhere or be somebody in life everyone does it just maybe in a more positive way..ain’t much to explain but instead of all the negative thought maybe a little encouragement for a change of life style would be a help to her. And all things are possible through God so maybe one day she will trust and believe that no man can love her like he will or give her want she wants like he will with asking for one thing in return is to know and accept him as your personal savior. My prayers go out to her to seek Christ and change her lifestyle and use all she has been through as a testimony to young females heading down the same road.

firstly,
your marriage wasn’t even legal.

and u know very well u were both high as a fucking kite on mushrooms. u
are a sorry excuse for a woman, a groupie and whatever the fuck else u are.

I am shaking my head at this woman and I use the term loosely. She wants to slam a man because of what? She is not innocent nor is he. She is a groupie and uses her looks and sexuality to her advantage. Maybe, just maybe if she did not drop out of school in 7th grade she would have had more wherewithall to know better to marry ANY man in 96 hours. Had he not been Mos Def would she have married him?! Be real peeps she is a gold digger and using men as pawns to claw a way to the top and make a name for herself. Men need to wake up and stop falling prey to the REAL devil and his minions. Wonders if she will write about guys without notoriety. Why not just walk away with your pride, what little you have, and just say this is another chapter that is closed in your life? Amazing that these guys continue to keep putting their credibility on the line all for the pussy. Can’t say I feel sorry for Mos but noone deserves this. Golddiggers are a terrible breed and need to be shutdown. But as the old saying goes, wars have been started over pussy and until men wakeup and stop falling for the beauty and pussy this will be their fate. Books and interview with salacious details all to gain money and notoriety, no matter how brief, for the groupies. Big ups to the guys, famous and not so famous, who know the truth and light.

Getting married after 3 days of knowing eachother? 6 kids, one of which is a stepchild with 4 different women? The Mourning Bride” (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”
