Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor
Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor's separation takes an ugly turn with the recent allegations on insurance checks misuse and home renovations misunderstandings.

Teyana Taylor has accused her ex-husband, former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert, of leaving her and their kids in an unfinished home while he lives in a fully renovated one. According to Taylor, Shumpert didn't contribute to the agreed-upon renovations for their primary residence, which has been under construction for three years.

In a report by Radar Online, the singer alleged that Shumpert's contractors have said he has no plans to complete the unfinished work. Furthermore, she accused him of cashing an insurance check for personal purposes instead of repairing the roof and marital home.

“(Iman) put the proceeds of the check into his personal bank account, kept all of the money, but never fixed the roof on the primary marital residence where (Teyana) and the parties’ minor children reside," Taylor's lawyer said.

According to the legal documents, Taylor requested primary custody of their children. She said Shumpert had been emotionally manipulating them and jealous of her success during their seven-year marriage.

Despite multiple cheating scandals and a DUI arrest, Teyana Taylor stood by Iman Shumpert. During their divorce proceedings, the former professional basketball player requested the court to use their full names instead of initials.
