Killer Mike Says His Wife Pulling A Gun On Him Made Monogamy Easier
Killer Mike is a firm believer in taking monogamy seriously, but it was this encounter that made him change his stance.
During an interview with “Club Shay Shay,” the Grammy-award winner opened up about his relationship with his wife, Shana Render, and told Shannon Sharpe her threatening to shoot him while with another woman made him monogamous.
Sharpe inquired with the Atlanta native on how “hard” it was for him to remain faithful, and the artist shared a story about his involvement with a dancer.
“I was smitten by this dancer, but I knew we weren't supposed to be doing [anything] outdoors. My old lady didn't like this dancer,” he recalled, noting that the woman’s interest in him went beyond friendship, citing she wanted him in a “lustful” manner.
He then shared how, while having fun with this dancer, his wife pulled up with a gun.
Mike laughed at first, saying he was just trying to get some cardio in to lose weight. “I got a call. ‘Hey, man. Maybe you should come back, man. We should run around, too.' I was like, 'Well, I am trying to get some cardio in [to] lose weight,'” he joked.
The mood changed as soon as he walked in the door. He got another call with a much darker tone. “And man, I got a call when I got in the door. ‘Say, man, if you don't bring your a** out that girl house right now? I'm going to kill both of y'all,'” he continued.
He remembers protesting, trying to explain he wasn’t even there. “I said, 'What, man? Get out of here. Stop playing, man. I ain't even over there, man. You just seen my truck.'”
The “Songs For Sinners And Saints” rapper stepped outside and froze when he saw his wife in the driveway with his gun trained on him.
“I looked out there. My wife had my gun in that driveway, pointing at me. I was like, 'Okay, damn,'” he continued
“I was like Henry in Goodfellas, I woke up like 'Aye.' I got in that truck, man. She said, 'I ain't never seen your fat a** run so fast in my life.' Being monogamous got a lot easier after that.”
After that chaos, Render picked up the “Run The Jewels” artist and drove him to see his aunt Deborah, who met the news with disappointment.
“Oh man, I would've rather got shot,” he recalled her saying. That visit shifted things for him.
“After that, the rules changed. After that, I was just like, 'Man, I like you, but you just got to holla at her,'” he told the dancer, explaining his new boundaries.
“'If you can convince her that we like each other enough and you ain't no problem, man, I love to do a twirl in the wind with you, man. But I don't want to get shot and I don't want my Auntie Deborah to feel like that again.'”
