Although Mustard filed for divorce from Chanel Thierry, he hasn’t abandoned his respect for his former lady of 12 years. As previously reported, Mustard submitted paperwork this week to end his marriage of 1.5 years. The couple began dating in their late teens and early 20s, before getting engaged in 2018 and exchanging vows in October 2020. On Friday night, the award-winning producer finally broke his silence on the filing to address infidelity rumors surrounding the couple.
“It’s one thing to have my family business on the internet and of course, I initially didn’t respond cause I don’t owe the public no explanation but I do owe my family to clear these false narrative[s] that @ChanelDijon cheated that’s out and never happened,” Mustard wrote on his Instagram Story.
