MC Lyte is setting the record straight about her divorce from entrepreneur John Wyche. “My divorce was not a battle,” the hip-hop legend shared via Instagram on Sunday (Jan. 22).

She continued, “My ex-husband, John Wyche, has never attempted to take any assets from me at any time before, during or after our marriage. Anything that is written or said that states or implies otherwise is untrue and unfair. 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.”

FYI: The former married couple met on Match.com. In August 2017, the duo tied the knot in Jamaica. Lyte filed for divorce in 2020 after three years of marriage, according to TMZ.

“While I made public comments related to the delay in signing papers, I can state that any delay may have been connected to his desire to save the relationship; never to take any of my property,” Lyte explained.

The iconic MC went on to drop some knowledge about love and divorce.

“Divorce does not equal failure,” she shared with her followers. “We did not fail; it simply did not work. I pray for his wellbeing as I do my own and I wish him nothing but God’s choicest blessings.”

Lyte also called out the importance of signing a prenuptial agreement before getting married.

“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,” she advised. “As a matter of fact, make sure you protect all of your assets with proper insurance, financial and estate planning. 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.”

Lastly, she reminded her fans the importance of building all relationships on love and truth.

“Focus on love and truth. Be careful what you say or imply about others. No one is perfect and we all have something that we need grace to cover. 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,” she concluded.

We couldn't have said it better.
