Remember Keisha from the Bad Boy group, Total? Many fans of the 90’s group probably had no idea she was romantically involved with a legendary rapper. He’s one most people have admired for many years and he’s responsible for some of the biggest hit records and albums in rap. However, he said Keisha is responsible for seriously breaking his heart. Details below…

Andre 3K Revealed Past Relationship With Keisha Epps

Keisha was once in a committed relationship with Andre 3000 of the rap group, OutKast. They met around the time OutKast was recording their first album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. In fact, the relationship was so serious, Andre revealed he battled severe depression following the breakup and became celibate for almost an ENTIRE YEAR! Then he met his now ex-girlfriend, Erykah Badu, but admitted that he was never really over the heartbreak Keisha caused him at that time.

In a  interview with Vibe magazine, Andre (referred to as Dre in the article) shared details about the relationship. He also revealed that parts of his his multi-platinum selling album, “Love Below,” was loosely based on some things he went through with Keisha and a couple of his other exes. Check out excerpts of his Vibe interview below…
When asked about his heartbreaks, Andre 3000 said:

“You remember the group Total? Keisha? We used to be together back in ’93-before they were Total-Total. When she broke up with me, I was almost celibate for about a year. I was really fu*ked up over it. And that’s right before I met Erykah [Badu]”

In the interview, Andre also declared:

“I’m gonna have to be completely struck crazy for me to get married.”

Andre 3K and Keisha Moved On YEARS Ago

With time, Andre was able to move past his heartbreaks; and even though he and Erykah Badu’s relationship didn’t lead to the happy ending most fans expected, they did have a son together, and are still very close friends. The last we’d heard, Andre was alleged to have a new woman in his life – April Bombai, an Asian hip-hop journalist who’s worked behind the scenes of the hip hop industry for nearly two decades.

Andre 3000 isn’t the only person who’s moved on. Keisha is happily married to her husband of eighteen years, actor Omar Epps. They have two children together- K’mari Mae, 18, and Amir, 15. Omar also has an older daughter, Aiyanna (23), from his previous relationship.

And there ya’ have it family, alls well, that ends well. It’s good to see Andre 3K and Keisha living happy lives now.

The Epps Kids Back Then

We were used to seeing the Epps’ kids look like this just yesterday, or so it seems…

Where Did The Time Go?!!

But time has flown by and their mini-me’s ain’t so little anymore. Now Epp’s gorgeous eldest daughter, Aiyanna, has graduated high school, gone to prom, and is ready to step into adulthood. She aspires to have a career in education, according to Keisha Epps.

Apparently, K’Marie has ambitions of following in her momma’s footsteps. Keisha Epps revealed online, that K’Marie is singing now.

And their son, Amir, is following in his Pop’s acting footsteps with career ambitions of his own. Here’s what Keisha posted about her baby boy’s recent acting give and career ambitions:

lovekeishaepps: If you see this commercial, throw one up for my little man Super proud of him for the commercials and print he’s booked but even more proud for the way he conducts himself on and off a job. All the while, he’s working…he’s still a kid and that’s first and foremost. A polite & LOVING kid at that✨He doesn’t discuss it at school or take it too seriously. He’s a kid, having fun and saving money. He’s saving for “his” college because he wants to build roller coasters. Yup..an engineer! And yup a true kid because I’m still fussing about picking up behind himself‍♀️ #RealCaliforniaMilk #WhenACommercialResurges #EveryoneHasBeenHittingMeAboutIt #GoMirMir #NowShowMomma

And of course, the family that gets silly together…says together…

It’s a beautiful thing to see a celebrity couple that made it past the 10 year mark, which unfortunately is rare in the entertainment world. Can’t wait to see what the Epps kids ultimately become in life. One thing is for sure, they have two parents who have laid out a great path for them to follow.

Where Have They Been? Bad Girls Of Bad Boy

Remember the 90’s R&B group, Total? They were the ‘bad girl princesses’ of Puffy’s Bad Boy label that consisted of members: Kima Raynor, Keisha Spivey, and Pamela Long. With a unique sound and a dope wardrobe, Total’s songs were the soundtrack of the 90’s, with their hot joints like “Kissing You,” “Can’t You See,”  “No One Else” and more. One of Bad Boy’s original acts, the trio only made two albums: Total (1996) and Kima, Keisha & Pam (1998). The group disbanded in 1999, but in recent years, all three of them reunited to perform on the Bad Boy Reunion Tour.

According to Ebony.com, the demise of the group was largely due to the passing of Notorious B.I.G.. In addition to Biggie’s passing, Puffy released the mega-collabo debut album, No Way Out, thus becoming a star of Bad Boy himself. Puffy had less time to devote to the group and entrusted their sound with Missy Elliot. However, no matter how hard Missy worked, Puffy reportedly wasn’t feelin’ it.

“Puff wasn’t feeling a lot of what Missy was doing, but we wanted that sound. Puffy didn’t think it would hit, but when that thing crunked up and radio got a hold of it… When it hit, it hit!,” Pam said to Ebony.

Eventually, the the ladies moved on and did their own thing with their personal lives, with members getting married and starting families, while promoters were still calling trying to get Total to reunite.

Pam Is Married

Pam married a fellow singer,”Unofficial” Pretty Ricky member, J.Long, in 2013. At the time, both singers considered themselves Christian artists and recorded a song together called “Sweet Thang”. While Pam doesn’t have any photos of her husband on Instagram, we’re assuming she’s still married. It’s not clear if Pam has children, or not, but she did post a picture of a teenage girl going to prom and called the young lady her”baby”…

Keisha & Husband/Actor, Omar Epps, Still Going Strong

Keisha married Omar Epps and they’ve been happily married for 11 years. Omar and Keisha live in California with their two children – their daughter, K’mari Mae and their son, Amir . Omar also has a an older daughter, Aiyanna, from a previous relationship.

Kima’s About To Be A Grandmama

According to Centric, Kima has been married for 20 years and has 6 kids. The third member of the group has kept a low profile and keeps her personal life pretty secretive. In an interview with Parle Mag, Kima shared that her greatest accomplishment includes being a wife and a mother. On her Instagram page, the singer shared some exciting news about a new edition to her family. Her son is expecting a son and she’ll be a grandmother soon! Wow!

While Kima awaits the birth of her grandson, the ladies are back on tour and they still got it! In addition to performing on the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, Total is the face of the Beauty Chronicles Women’s Empowerment Brunch Series, along with a few other women from the Bad Boy fam.’ Created by media industry guru, Steve Jones, the traveling series is bringing fans face to face with the ladies of Bad Boy to have a discussion on rising above industry stereotypes and empowering other women through lessons learned. Currently, the ladies are on tour with Xscape and NEXT.

It seems like Total has come full circle: they’ve separated, built their lives as married women with kids, to now reconnecting and being back on stage shuttin’ it DOWN. Gotta love it!

The post A Legendary Rapper Blamed Keisha (Of Total) For His Deep Depression After Breaking His Heart appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

Via TMZ: Omar Epps and his wife got a sweet deal on their nanny, getting her to tidy up the house and clean up after their pets too, without paying her a dime of overtime … according to the former employee.Alba Hernandez says she put in 8 years with Omar and his wife Keisha … taking care of their 2 kids. But she says she also ran errands for the Epps fam and took care of their pets.

Alba says her household duties required way more than your average 9 to 5. She says she put in more than 40 hours a week, but never got any overtime. She admits she made decent money … $65k per year, but clearly feels she would’ve made much more on an hourly rate.
She doesn’t says how or why she stopped working for Omar and Keisha, but she’s suing for back wages and unpaid overtime.

Keisha and Omar are typically not ones to talk about their private lives publicly, but apparently their former nanny didn’t get that memo, or maybe she doesn’t really care about that at all,because all she wants right now is the money she claims is her just due.

Hopefully the three of them can resolve this amicably and out of court because the last thing anybody wants is another costly court battle and lawyers fees on their hands.

On a side note can we pause for a minute to give Keisha and Omar their props for being ride or die for each other for the past 10 years? They have two children and are still going strong. Nothing like a strong happy, loving couple in the land of Hollywood, Hollyhood, and R&B…or whatever else you refer to the entertainment world as.

Another side note- We canNOT end this article without tipping our collective hats to the three ladies of Total: Keisha, Pam, and Kima, for reuniting and doing their thing on the recent Bad Boy reunion Tour some twenty some-odd years since their debut into the music world. And they are looking hella good while these days too…

And just for nostalgia’s sake…and because we love us some Total…Reminisce with us ILOSM family…
