Mos Def's ex-wife, Alana Wyatt-Smith, has released a book titled Breaking The Code of Silence which chronicles her marriage to the Brooklyn rapper. Smith and Mos Def met in Toronto in 2005 and they married three days later. In the book, Smith claims during their marriage Mos Def was demanding, overprotective, and physically abusive. Despite separating in October 2006, Smith claims that Mos still refuses to grant her a divorce. “He won't sign the papers,” Smith explained to The Toronto Star. “He told my lawyer if he can't have me, nobody else will.” Smith hails from Canada and is a former stripper and seventh grade dropout. She also details her turbulent childhood, difficult teenage years and her relationships with other celebrities who include various professional athletes and Kanye West.

Looks like we'll need to add one more item to perennial Brooklyn hip-hop veteran Mos Def's resume: rapper, actor, poet, band geek . Turns out that the mighty Mos has been doing some stuff with Mos Def's Big Band on the side since last year, namely a tribute to J Dilla . And, unlike other acts who've tried their hands at this with mixed results , they actually sound really good . Their next performance is on June 28 (with special guest Gil Scott-Heron !) at the JVC Jazz Festival in New York City. The event is described as "an evening of music and spoken word with material drawn from Miles Davis, Beyoncé, James Brown, and others." ... Source: www.topix.com --- 53 days ago

Alana Wyatt-Smith, the 29-year old estranged wife of actor/rapper, Mos Def is penning a tell-all book. Yup, that’s right she is jumping on the ‘kiss and tell’ bandwagon. Since when did it become popular to put all your business in the street and get paid for it? In the book, ‘Breaking My Code Of Silence’, she makes explosive allegations that Mos Def was physically abusive to her during their marriage. Wyatt-Smith, a former stripper and seventh grade drop-out, names some of the other men that she’s been involved with including Kanye West. “I disagree with putting names of people in there, just out of respect for their wives and children,” Wyatt-Smith told The Toronto Star. “If this was about making money, getting rich, I could have wrote a tell-all book, 10 times better than Karrine Steffans. “People want to know about the biggest names in the NBA, who proposed to who, and did what, and this and that; I could have put some stuff in there that would have made it a number one seller within days. I use nicknames, initials, that myself and the gentleman would know; the ones named I got permission from.” Wyatt-Smith also alleges that she and Mos Def, who has six kids by four different women, are still technically married. “He won’t sign the papers,” she told The Toronto Star. “He told my lawyer if he can’t have me, nobody else will.” Wow, a former stripper, who only went to the seventh grade……..guess he didn’t really marry her for her br ...
