In 2014, Tahiry was romantically linked to James Harden, an American professional basketball player, then it was rumored that she was seeing LeSean McCoy, also known as ‘Shady’, a former American Football running back.
It’s also known that from 2014 until 2017, Tahiry was in an off-on relationship with Asap Rocky, also a famous rapper. When they separated, some rumors were saying that he cheated on her with Kendall Jenner, however, others said that their relationship was just ‘an ongoing friends with benefits thing’.
Although she had other relationships, people mostly connect her name with Joe Budden, and it seems that she’s tired of being associated with him. On 16 November 2021, she tweeted: ‘I’ve had a couple side pieces, boyfriends, friends w/benefits, almost husbands & borrowed a few! When in the entire f*ck are you guys gonna let this Joe ex sh*t go?! Ciz I the f*ck been did.’
Tahiry alleged that Joe Budden was abusive towards her, which he denied. However, she claimed: ‘That relationship left me with a fractured rib and a broken nose because somebody was sending him a message…. he pushed me down a flight of stairs.’ Joe has always denied abusing her, and according to him, she was the one who was toxic in that relationship.
In 2020, Tahiry entered the new show entitled “Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition”, and fans were surprised when they realized that her partner is Vado, a musician and rapper from Harlem, but they said that they’d known each other for years, since they grew-up together in Harlem. The 15-years-long friendship embarked on a causal relationship, however, they were facing significant problems and decided to see whether their love is salvageable or not.
At the end of the show, Tahiry left the house as a single woman.
As of September 2022, it seems that Tahiry is single, she hasn’t been married or engaged, and doesn’t have children.
