After eleven years of marriage, it looks like <a href="/profile/talib-kweli" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Talib Kweli</a> and his wife DJ Esque have officially called it quits. Per TMZ, DJ Esque, whose real name is Cynthia Greene, filed papers in court petitioning <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kim-kardashian-officially-files-for-divorce-from-kanye-west-news.126995.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">a divorce </a>from her husband Talib Kweli. In the court documents, it was revealed that they have no minor kids in their union. There&#8217;s no clear-cut request for monthly support, nor is it clear whether there&#8217;s a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dr-dre-files-prenup-to-court-revealing-details-of-agreement-news.123455.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">prenuptial agreement </a>in place that covers their assets.

The news of their divorce comes as a shock to most, especially after what transpired last summer. The legendary MC was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/talib-kweli-denies-harassment-colorism-misogyny-accusations-after-twitter-ban-news.115688.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kicked off of Twitter </a>after harassing a woman on the platform after she <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/talib-kweli-suspended-from-twitter-for-repeated-violations-following-harassment-allegations-news.115521.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">shared a tweet</a> that he perceived as questioning Esque&#8217;s blackness. Even as he went to bat for her and his kids, ultimately going overboard with his tweets, the couple had already been separated.
&#8220;Eque and I have been separated since 2015. We haven&#8217;t lived in the same house or even seen each other since 2015,&#8221; Kweli said in a statement to Vlad. 
Since their marriage in May 2009 at a Bel-Air mansion that included guests like <a href="/profile/questlove" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Questlove</a> and Queen Latifah, they&#8217;ve remained low-key in the public eye with the exception of an incident reported by the New York Post where they had a bit of a scuffle at an industry party.
