Its been almost three months since Funny Mike and Jaliyah Anderson called it quits after being together for eight years.Their split came with several allegations, including Jaliyah accusing Funny Mike of physically assaulting her and having two children on the way.
Since then, the two have continued co-parenting their three children while adjusting to their new lives apart. Now, Jaliyah is opening up about life after their split, finding her independence, and what could be next for her.
Over the weekend, Jaliyah took to YouTube with a video titled LIFE UPDATE Q/A (STILL SINGLE?), giving supporters a personal update. One of the first questions Jaliyah answered was about how she has been doing mentally following everything that has recently happened. Jaliyah shared that she initially struggled emotionally, but as weeks passed, she began grieving the relationship and the future she imagined with FunnyMike.
Yall ever had that saying of people grieving somebody thats not dead? Like, I grieve that person and that situation. Cause, like, you know how you just have a whole future planned with this person, and you’ve had kids with this person? Its just like now you know its not gonna be there anymore,” she said.
As the Q&A continued, Jaliyah also revealed what she has learned about herself since becoming a single woman. She admitted shes stronger than she thought, but became dependent on being cared for throughout the relationship.
Additionally, Jaliyah addressed comments telling her she shouldve cheated back on FunnyMike following everything that happened throughout their relationship. However, she expressed that getting even would go against her morals and could leave her regretting her actions later.
“Nobodys actions can make me go against my morals and standards as a woman. Like, and I feel like God sit high and look low. He know my heart, and every dog has their day. As a woman, you have to sit on your hands, because I know at the end of the day, when I leave, I know the type of woman that I was to you, and I know what you gonna regret once I go that way,” she added.
When it comes to moving on, Jaliyah also opened up about whether shes interested in dating again following her split from FunnyMike. She said she was initially open to dating but realized she wasnt ready after ghosting people who asked her out.
For now, Jaliyah says shes open to dating in the future but isnt focused on it.
Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens post to react to Jaliyahs latest YouTube video. While some empathized with Jaliyah and her decision to move on, others defended FunnyMike.

Since their breakup, Jaliyah and FunnyMike have both been having their fun. On June 24, Jaliyah was outside having a good time with her crew when her ex, FunnyMikes track Overly Going came on. That didnt stop her fun, though, as she sang and danced along to the track. The clip quickly made its rounds on social media.
It eventually made its way to FunnyMike, who reacted to the clip while on stream and tried to get a closer look.
Wait, is that who I think that is singing the lyrics? he said.
FunnyMike also reacted to comments under The Shade Room Teens post, including He met his match and I love when the rabbit has the gun. He made it clear that he doesnt believe hes hurt over the situation and wants both of them to move forward.
I left the relationship first. Way before she posted, I been left, he said. Can yall just let us move on in peace? I still got love for her. Let us move It be the women, He hurt, he hurt, he hurt. B***h, I left first. Leave me alone. Leave her alone. Let her live her life. Let me live my life.
FunnyMike even entered The Shade Room Teens comment section himself, writing, Bruh can we move pass this segment, how tf am I hurt if I left first, way be for the post she made.
