Alana said that Yasiin treated her so well before they married that she knew he was the one to spend the rest of her life with. However, once they were married, everything became the complete opposite.

Alana shared how she has gone through traumatic experiences in her life, and Yasiin triggered it repeatedly. 

It was very toxic for her, so after being together for two years, Alana decided to end the relationship in 2006.

In the same year, Yasiin got divorced from his first wife, Maria Yepes. After the divorce, Yasiin was required to pay Maria's child support of $10,000 per month, but he only contributed $8000, failing to fulfill his responsibilities.

On the other hand, Alana was able to do a $115,000 financial settlement with Yasiin but failed to get a divorce.

They started living separately but were not legally divorced because Yasiin refused to sign the divorce papers. 

Moreover, according to some sources, Yasiin dated a few other women when he was legally bound with Alana. 

Fortunately, the couple doesn't have any children together. Yet, Yasiin has four other kids with four baby mamas making him a father of six.

The 'No Fear of Time' album singer appears to be single as there have been no reports of him dating.
