TMZ HITS BACK AT FABOLOUS!

TMZ CLEARS THE AIR WITH EVIDENCE AGAINST FABOLOUS!The rapper claims he and Emily have not split, and insists they’re a “couple working on our relationship.” He adds that the mystery woman he was seen with at a Mexican restaurant last week was not a date … rather a lunch meeting with a teacher.

Fabolous says he loves Emily B and TMZ’s story is baseless. He’s also threatening legal action for defamation.

Here’s the thing — sources close to Emily told TMZ that the 2 haven’t been together for nearly a year … and it was her decision to call it off. Despite Fab’s claims they’re still trying to work it out — TMZ we’re told, for now, Emily says it’s over — and Fab is trying to save his family.Emily’s recent post on her Instagram Story seems to bear this out. She says this year’s all about prioritizing mental health over relationships. According to the post, Em’s mindset is … “I’ll lose anyone and anything before I lost my mind.”
