After Revealing That He’s ‘Never Treated A Woman Right 100 Percent,’ Mike Epps Issues A Public Apology To Wife Kyra
“I used to cry all the time and ask God, what did I do that I can’t have a son?” Mike said during the interview. He has five daughters. “But I know what it was. I lied to all these women, got them pregnant and sold them dreams.”
He would get a son, his sixth and last child, and second with wife Kyra named Mike Jr (they also have a daughter named Indiana). He shares two of his daughters with his ex-wife Mechelle McCain and has two others from a previous relationship.
“One thing I’m going to get right before I leave this Earth, I’m going to learn how to treat a woman 100 percent right,” he said during the conversation. “That’s something that I want to do. For my mother, for my children, for my daughters. I’ve never treated a woman right 100 percent. And now that I’m getting older, I’m realizing that you’ve got to treat a woman right, Mike. You can’t cheat on her. You’ve got to be her friend. You’ve got to not be selfish. This is what I wanna do. It’s one of my dreams.”
Mike Epps later publicly apologized to his wife for his comments on the show.
“I wanna apologize to my wife for what I said on this dumb a– podcast sh-t this sh-t is a trick bag,” he wrote. “I am always misunderstood on what I say on the internet smh never again will I interview with anyone never I am off this sh-t for good f–k off less.”
The comedian decided one apology wasn’t enough so he followed up with a second. In a since deleted post, he shared a photo of his wife with a message apologizing to her and his family.
“Again I wanna apologize to my beautiful wife for ignorant and reckless [comments] I honor you and my family please forgive me.”
Kyra and Mike have been married since 2019 and met in 2017. The couple also have a show together, Buying Back The Block, which premiered in 2023 on HGTV where they revamp homes that Mike purchased on the block he grew up on in Indianapolis.
