Meanwhile, TMZ reports that they have not heard back from the rapper and his team regarding a statement on the latest charges.
Last month, The Shade Room reported that Herbo shared a now-deleted Instagram Story that read, “I’m single.”
While the rapper didn’t provide any further context, the message suggests that he and his fiancée Taina Williams may have called it quits.

He’s since dropped five studio albums. His last album, Survivor’s Remorse, debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
