There’s this saying you’re probably familiar with that goes, “How you get him, is how you’ll lose him.”
This likely means that if a relationship starts with lies, manipulation, cheating, or drama, it’ll likely end in the same mess.
Well, rap star Liangelo Ball and Rashida Nicole are the blueprint of that. From ghosting his long-time partner, Nikki Murdarris, to rushing into a situation-ship turned marriage, only to file for divorce weeks after a pregnancy announcement.

Liangelo Ball and Nikki’s Relationship Timeline
“Tweaker” rapper who also goes by the name Gelo, was in a relationship with VH1 star Nikki Murdarris for three and a half years.
According to People Magazine, they first connected at Runyon Canyon while they were walking their dogs, and the two exchanged numbers from there.
The couple had two kids, their firstborn in June 2023 and their second, born in December 2024.
From Nikki to Rashida: LiAngelo Ball’s Shifting Romances
On February 8, Nikki claimed in a now-deleted tweet that Liangelo ghosted their family via text after revealing he impregnated another female, who happens to be Rashida Nicole.
Rashida claimed Gelo told her he was done with Nikki. But Nikki? She was caught off guard. You can listen to her latest response during her interview on the Jason Lee Show HERE.
The drama escalated into public jabs, with Nikki accusing Gelo of ignoring their kids while Liangelo and his girlfriend, Rashida, fought back, calling out accusations of racism.
Rashida and Liangelo’s Romance Goes Public
Soon after the public jabs, the couple went public with their new relationship.
On Valentine’s Day, Rashida shared her Valentine’s Day gifts, which were flowers, designer bags, and more luxury items.
In March, Gelo purchased her a luxury car, which also happened to be the same month the two tied the knot, although it wasn’t publicly announced.
On June 15th, Gelo listed their separation, just eleven days before Rashida shared her pregnancy news on Instagram.
Gelo filed for a divorce on July 3, citing ‘irreconciable differences’ but is asking for joint legal and physical custody of their unborn child and wants to terminate spousal support on both sides.
The Rashida Reality Check: A Mistake You Don’t Want To Make
Forget the drama: Rashida Nicole and LiAngelo’s relationship offers a raw, undeniable reality check we can all learn from.
Rashida, much like other women in similar circumstances, prioritized her benefit and what she could gain, seemingly without considering the consequences.
Here’s the truth: Relationships established on lust and hype are always shallow, lacking depth, and never last. And even more importantly, they can’t grow into trust or respect.
The “irreconcilable differences” were clear from the start: there was no solid foundation of trust, respect, or even self-respect.
Conclusion: The Inevitable Harvest
Rashida’s attempt to build a relationship on another woman’s pain ultimately backfired. This isn’t about throwing shade; it’s a release of vital wisdom
. The truth is, what we sow, we will indeed reap—and often, it’s far more than we initially planted.Don’t play yourself by thinking you’re the exception to this rule, or that you’re “that female” a man will suddenly change for. Instead, think deeper, consider the long-term consequences, and choose better paths. Many blessings!
