Mase Claims He Challenged Ex-GF To Propose First
The ‘Harlem World’ rapper recalled this particular experience during a live event for his podcast ‘It Is What It Is.’ The show is a daily and celebrity segment hosted by Ma$e, Cam’ron and Treasure ‘Stat Baby’ Wilson. During the live version at ComplexCon, which took place on the 25th and 26th of this month, Mase answered the question “What’s the craziest thing you’ve asked from a potential partner?” After repeating the question, he responded:
“When I first…thought about getting married, I asked her to buy the ring if she was serious.”
He doubled down on his recollection while the crowd audibly responded to his reveal. In the clip shared by The Shade Room (see below), someone can be heard saying, “Yo that’s wild,” Meanwhile, on stage, Mase was unfazed, adding “We’re different.” And as the crowd got louder with cheers, he sat there cheesing! See the brief, viral clip below.
Is The Rapper Speaking About His Ex-Wife?
As mentioned, Ma$e didn’t name drop the woman he challenged to put a ring on his finger. However, heads quickly turned to his first and only ex-wife, Twyla Betha. They were married between 2001 and 2014, before he filed for divorce in April of that last year. By that point they had been separated for about two years, per TMZ.
They settled in June 2014, per the outlet. She walked away with physical custody of their children, while he got “reasonable visitation.” Back then that meant up to three hours a day with a 12-hour advance notice. Additionally, he was made responsible for $6,000 in monthly spousal and child support payments. As for Betha, she was ordered to hand over all of Mase’s musical equipment.

In The Shade Room’s comment section, over 3,000 roommates spoke out about his unique request from his ex-girlfriend.
