Why Things Didn't Work Out Between Allen Iverson And Da Brat

When she appeared on Kandi Burruss' YouTube series "Speak On It" in 2020, Da Brat shared some rare details about her relationship with Allen Iverson. She dated the Philadelphia 76ers legend in the '90s, and while Iverson told GQ that he admired hip-hop icons including Diddy and the Notorious B.I.G., somehow the flashy NBA star managed to keep his relationship with a massively successful female rapper under wraps. "I'm very domesticated ... I used to wake up and pick his clothes out and cook breakfast," Da Brat said. "The things he liked, just to make sure he was happy. And he spoiled me, and made sure I was happy."

But Da Brat soon realized that Iverson was not the monogamous type, saying, "He had a baby mama, some kids ... It was good for a long time. It just didn't work out. Too many b***hes." The mother of Iverson's kids is Tawanna Turner, whom Iverson dated in high school and later married. They became embroiled in a heated divorce battle in 2012, with TMZ reporting that Turner demanded a list of every woman Iverson had been sexually involved with during their marriage.

According to Da Brat, one of Iverson's scantily-clad women approached the two of them at a hotel, which was too much of an indignity for her to accept. The relationship ended soon after. "[I] just had to pull back and then it eventually fizzled out," she recalled.
