Were Shia and Slowbucks together?
Last year, after Shia shared pictures of the injuries she suffered due to the domestic abuse, 50 Cent accused Slowbucks of being abusive towards her.
Shia herself has never publicly named the perpetrator of her abuse, but 50 Cent took it upon himself to repost her video and caption it: “Yo what’s wrong wit you boy, hitting that girl like that.”
Shia was in a longterm relationship with Slowbucks and the couple announced their engagement in 2016 on Instagram, but the posts have since been deleted. Slowbucks is yet to comment on the situation.
