Heavy D’s Mother Speaks On Rapper’s Estate & His Brother Floyd Managing It On “The Steve Harvey Morning Show” [Audio]
The gossip world was running wild with rumors the past few days about the estate of late Hip-Hop icon Heavy D.
As you recall, Hip-Hop lost Dwight “Heavy D” Myers on November 8, 2011 from a pulmonary embolism and now his brother Floyd has filed court documents to seek control of the estate.
The B.S. started as reports circulated that Floyd was seeking to line his pockets which is so far from the truth. In fact, Heavy’s will was dated before his 13-year-old daughter Xea being born so documents had to be filed so she can receive her father’s possessions as well as take care of a few open business issues including the selling of a condo.
Putting all the shenanigans to rest, Heavy D’s mother, Mrs. Eulahlee Lee Myers sent a letter to Steve Harvey which he read verbatim on The Steve Harvey Morning Show today clearing up the issue and putting the lies to rest. The letter reads:
“Dear Steve,
First I would like to thank you for always being a friend to my son Heavy and the full support you and your team gave during his passing. I’m writing this press release to you exclusively because of some questions that have been raised concerning Heavy’s estate with false derogatory news hitting the media this week regarding his brother’s submission of a petition to administer Heavy’s estate. I’d like to set the record straight through you.
Heavy and Floyd have been working together since they were young teenagers. This close relationship continued through Heavy’s career and through his adult hood. The petition filed through the L.A. courts is to sell a condominium that they owned together since 1998.
California law requires a probate for the sale of the real property to clear the title when someone passes. The probate process is a formality required by the state of California and nothing more.

I want to be clear. All of Heavy’s assets are going to his 13-year-old daughter Xea, including his social security, pension, and future royalties. All of Heavy’s personal belongings are in storage for his daughter until she gets a bit older.
Steve, Heavy’s estate needs to be managed. It can not be self-managed or self-administered and it has to be court approved. Open bills, un-finished business, taxes and day-to-day discussions including the plans for his daughter all need to be done. This management needs someone who is capable, smart, honest and close to his family.
We, as a family, all wanted Floyd as that person to represent Dwight’s estate. This decision was made by me as Heavy’s mother, Heavy’s father Cliff, and Heavy’s sister Portia.
Heavy D and his daughter Xea.
Furthermore, we have a great relationship with Xea and her mother and we are all working diligently to raise Xea the way Heavy intended. The Myers family is a close-knit family. Steve, after losing three sons in my lifetime, frivolous assets mean nothing to me or to us. We have always been a close and loving family and we will always be just the way Heavy liked it.
Be inspired,
Eulahlee Lee Myers, Mother
So hopefully all the negative talk will now end is Mrs. Myers has made it clear that it was just a legal formality.

In a stunning development shaking the entertainment world, Grammy-winning singer, entrepreneur, and reality TV star Kandi Burruss has quietly filed for divorce from her husband Todd Tucker, according to a newly uncovered divorce petition filed in Fulton County Superior Court on November 21, 2025. The filing was made under her married legal name, K. Lenice Tucker.
The court document confirms what fans and industry insiders have been speculating for months: one of reality television’s most successful power couples is now headed toward a legal split.
The Filing: Marriage “Irretrievably Broken”
According to the petition, Kandi states that the marriage between her and Todd is “irretrievably broken,” the statutory grounds required under Georgia law when no reconciliation is possible.
The couple reportedly separated on July 15, 2025, and have lived apart since that date. 25CV016187 - PETITION
This means their separation had already been in effect for several months before Kandi filed the paperwork—suggesting that the marital issues had been ongoing behind the scenes.
Custody of Their Two Minor Children
The petition confirms that the couple shares two minor children, and Kandi is requesting:
Joint physical custody
Joint legal custody
The filing emphasizes that the children have always lived with both parents and that no other custody claims or competing legal actions exist.
Child support, she notes, should be determined under Georgia’s official guidelines.
The Prenuptial Agreement Takes Center Stage
One of the most significant revelations is Kandi’s insistence that the court enforce the prenuptial agreement she and Todd signed prior to their 2014 wedding.
If the prenup is upheld:
Assets will be divided according to the agreement
Debts accumulated during the marriage will be assigned per its terms
Both parties’ financial rights will be governed by that document
This could shorten what might otherwise become a lengthy and contentious divorce process.
No Request for Attorney’s Fees
Kandi requests that both parties be responsible for their own attorney fees—a sign that she may be aiming for a streamlined, minimally contentious resolution.
Her attorney on record is Adamma McKinnon, Esq., a respected Atlanta family law practitioner.
A Quiet Filing With Loud Implications
While the filing was submitted discreetly under her legal married name, its discovery is already sending shockwaves through:
The entertainment world
Bravo TV fan communities
Atlanta’s celebrity and business circles
Kandi and Todd—who married in 2014, built multiple businesses together, and became one of reality TV’s most profitable brands—have not yet issued public statements about the divorce.
Given Kandi’s stature as a major figure in music, television, hospitality, and investment ventures, the split could have significant personal and business implications.
What Happens Next
Todd Tucker will now be formally served and given the opportunity to file a response. The court may then schedule hearings to address:
Custody
Child support
Enforcement of the prenuptial agreement
Hip Hop Enquirer will continue monitoring this developing story and provide exclusive updates as additional filings and responses emerge.
