The former college sports star admits the couple had a casual relationship before he came on the scene, but added he is sure it ended because it was the rapper who set them up.
He said: 'They were definitely not messing around, or he would never have given me the okay.'

However the Haitian songwriter, who is still married to his wife of 18 years Marie Claudinette, is standing by his story.
He said: 'There is no way that I would have shown up in the hospital in that circumstance to wait for a baby to be born if it was not mine.
