Love & Hip Hop Star Emily B Denies Fabolous And Adrienne Dating Rumor

Love and Hip Hop star Emily Bustamante has opened much of her life to the world on the hit VH1 reality TV show. Despite filming for several months, much of what we know about Emily revolves around her on and off relationship with rapper Fabolous. From our point of view it appears that Fabolous has cheated on Emily several times, including with Ms. Kimbella, but she still holds a special place in her heart for him. While it’s not clear exactly how many women Fabolous has cheated on Emily with there’s always one name that manages to always pops up. R&B singer Adrienne Bailon formerly of 3LW and the Cheetah Girls. It seemed that wherever you saw Fab, Adrienne wasn’t far behind. They had to have been dating right?! For the first time, Emily address the incessant rumor with Loop 21.

Loop 21: On the blogs, we see you with Adrienne Bailon, who was rumored to be messing with Fabolous, your ex. What’s going on there?

Emily B.: I just left from being with her. We’ve been friends for years. We’re all friends. I think that when you see Fab and you see Adrienne, they’re both celebrities so you automatically assume that they’re together, but he’s actually friends with her boyfriend. And I won’t reveal her business. We were always together and that’s how that misconception started, but she is not dating Fab. I actually feel bad for her at this point because she can’t get rid of it, but we laugh at it. She comes to my house on Christmas…

So there, everyone’s family. And finally in season two of Love & Hip Hop we follow Emily on her transition from leaving Fabolous, starting over again and watch her career as a fashion designer blossom. Watch Love and Hip Hop tonight on VH1.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
