In a recent interview, Muni Long dropped a bombshell update about life with her husband. The ‘Hrs & Hrs’ singer revealed that she andRaysean Hairstonhave separated after nearly a decade together.
Muni typically puts her music out there while keeping her personal business under wraps! However, she switched up her privacy habit in an interview released on August 29. The artist spilled about the latest chapter in her marriage on ‘The Cruz Show,’ a radio program based in Los Angeles.
“This is the first time I’m putting my real life in it. It’s no secret. I’ve been married for nine years, and it just didn’t work out,” Muni Long said.
She didn’t specify what particular incident led to her separation from Raysean. However, the singer implied that her husband was not celebratory of the continued upward movement in her career.
“I don’t have time for drama; I don’t have time for nonsense. This is one of the most amazing times of my life, and if you can’t celebrate that with me, I’m so sorry, I’m gonna have to leave you behind. I cannot. Like you wake up everyday mad, there’s nothing to be upset about.”
“We have a beautiful child, we’re good. We might owe some bills, but everybody has that,” she added.
The singer seemed to suggest that it takes strength to realize when a situation isn’t working out. Muni Long also said that her husband, Raysean Hairston, could really be a “good man” to her if “he got it together.”
