Memphitz on Separation From Toya Wright: I love my wife, but I’m starting to love myself a little bit more. [VIDEO]

married…I would never get married. I seen people get married. And I just didn’t like what I was seeing. I came up with both of my parents and my parents were having a rough time…I had always been scarred from marriage from that.

He does say his feelings later changed about marriage:

Yes, I asked her to marry me. I’m still happy about that choice….but I think the fact that we got married on television, I think that’s when everything kinda like, I wasn’t expecting what came, with that and even though I knew that came with marrying my wife — just the fact that the history and who she was already married to….When we got married a lot of things came with that. The public hate that I was receiving…Like, ‘oh he’s not wayne…he doesn’t make money like wayne…” Even with the K.Michelle thing….

He says that one of their biggest arguments was over him appearing on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop Atlanta.

Over time, when I was offered to go on the show and defend myself. You know, Mona called me and was like ‘You should come on the show and defend yourself.’ [And even though she [K.Michelle] didn’t say my name. She led people to me.] I was like, Okay, I’m on my way, I’m coming. So I tell my wife that … And she’s like ‘ You not ’bout to go on that show and defend yourself…That’s disrespecting me….She was like No, she was adamant.’ So I kinda got an ultimatum. My wife was kind like if you go on that show we might as well call this over with cuz I’m not dealing with that kinda disrespect. She was like you just need to do the right thing and sue.

He says that by suing, he committed career suicide. He explains that he worked from the bottom up in the music industry (he began as an intern for LA Reid, eventually moving up as the Vice President of A&R). He shares that he was later fired by Sony because of his appearance on his wife’s show:

Soon as we get married, Sony fired me. Soon as I got married and I was on my wife’s show they was like ‘Oh you’re mister TV man now and you don’t be at work.’
