Muni Long reveals that she and her husband have called it quits, after nearly a decade of marriage.

During recent interview on The Cruz Show, Long explained, “I always pull from real experiences because I’m writing from my unique perspective. I can only talk about what I know. But this is the first time I’m putting my real life in it. It’s no secret…I’ve been married for nine years…it just didn’t work out, you know?”

“I don’t have time for drama, I don’t have time for nonsense,” she added.

Long continued, “This is one of the most amazing times in my life, and if you can’t celebrate that with me, I’m so sorry, but I’m going to have to leave you behind. I cannot. You wake up every day mad, and there’s literally nothing to be upset about.”

“I think it takes incredible strength to realize like this was the love of my life at one point – and he probbably could be really good for me if he got it together – but I’m not willing to put my life and my passion and my happiness on hold for you to catch up. Unfotunately, you might get it in a year…but I’m sorry I’m probably already over it.”

Though the relationship didn’t work out, Long says the two are still in a good space. “We have a beautiful child. We’re good. We might owe some bills, but everybody has that.”

When discussing her new album Long says, “this whole album is like a page out of my diary. This is the first time I’m actually telling my business in the music. I always pull from real experiences. Because I’m writing from my unique perspective. I can only talk about what I know. This is the first time I’m putting my real life in it.”
