When Houston rapper Jefe Wine (aka Maurice Williams) filed for divorce from Iggy Azalea in October 2014, claiming the two were common law married, he was dismissed be many as being a bitter ex-boyfriend with an ax to grind.
That may very well turn out to be true, but Jefe now has at least one person who may be able to help him back up his claim.
On Monday, February 16, 2015, TMZ reported that a Houston doctor says that Iggy introduced Jefe as her husband during a visit to his clinic in 2008. The doctor goes on to say that the couple stood out to him because "she was a white Australian female and he was a taller black man."
The former couple dated from 2008 to last year, according to the report. Nobody is disputing the fact that the two lived together in both Houston and Atlanta. In fact, Iggy is suing Jefe for allegedly stealing data that included unfinished music from her hard drive during that time.
The State Law website defines what qualifies as a common law marriage in Texas.
A valid common law marriage in Texas is where a man and woman become husband and wife without getting a marriage license and having a marriage ceremony. Once established, a common law marriage has the same legal effect as a ceremonial marriage.
To have a common law marriage in the state, you must do three things:
(1) Agree to be married (2) Live together as husband and wife, and (3) Told others (hold yourselves out) that you are married.
In What Ways Do People “Hold Themselves Out” as Married?
Simply put, by telling others that they are married. Examples of telling other people you are married include:
• Introducing yourselves as a married couple; or • Doing something that made people think you were married, like signing credit applications as a married couple.
Even if you said that you were married only one time, you can meet this requirement.
If what the doctor is saying is true Jefe would seem to have a case. If a judge rules in his favor he could wind up with half of Iggy's property accumulated during their time together.
For the record, Iggy denies ever presenting herself as Jefe's wife.

TMZ reports that Princess Love was arrested in New Orleans on Wednesday, February 11, and charged with domestic abuse and battery.
According to the report, Ray returned to the couple's hotel room after hanging out at a strip club with a television producer. The singer told police his Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood co-star went Mike Tyson on him. Hotel security heard her scream "I'm gonna kill you!"
Ray was spotted running out of the room by a security guard, who also noticed he was bleeding. The guard then called 911.
The "I Hit It First" singer suffered a torn ACL, a busted lip and cracked ribs. But he must have been in a forgiving mood because he later bailed Princess out of jail and paid $10,000 for her lawyer.

If Adidas' plan was to build a big buzz for the just released Kanye WestYeezy Boost sneakers, they should consider their job well done.
Between 3000 and 9000 pairs of the shoes (depending on which source you believe) quickly sold out after hitting retail outlets on Saturday, February 14.
Kanye has promised that eventually production of the sneakers will catch up with demand and preached patience to sneaker heads. If that's the case, why not just roll out 200,000 pairs to begin with?
"It's because of the hype by not putting much quantity out there," DJ Jack Da Ripper, a self professed sneaker collector, told CNN Money. "If everyone wants it they should just produce more, but they don't. They only put a limited quantity out there."
The lack of available product has created a market for people who are willing to pay$2,000for a pair on eBay.
NEW YORK (Associated Press) — A hacking ring has stolen up to $1 billion from banks around the world in what would be one of the biggest banking breaches known, a cybersecurity firm says in a report scheduled to be delivered Monday.
The hackers have been active since at least the end of 2013 and infiltrated more than 100 banks in 30 countries, according to Russian security company Kaspersky Lab.
After gaining access to banks' computers through phishing schemes and other methods, they lurk for months to learn the banks' systems, taking screen shots and even video of employees using their computers, the company says.
Once the hackers become familiar with the banks' operations, they use that knowledge to steal money without raising suspicions, programming ATMs to dispense money at specific times or setting up fake accounts and transferring money into them, according to Kaspersky. The report is set to be presented Monday at a security conference in Cancun, Mexico. It was first reported by The New York Times.
The hackers seem to limit their theft to about $10 million before moving on to another bank, part of the reason why the fraud was not detected earlier, Kaspersky principal security researcher Vicente Diaz said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.
The attacks are unusual because they target the banks themselves rather than customers and their account information, Diaz said.
The goal seems to be financial gain rather than espionage, he said.
"In this case they are not interested in information. They're only interested in the money," he said. "They're flexible and quite aggressive and use any tool they find useful for doing whatever they want to do."
Most of the targets have been in Russia, the U.S., Germany, China and Ukraine, although the attackers may be expanding throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe, Kaspersky says. In one case, a bank lost $7.3 million through ATM fraud. In another case, a financial institution lost $10 million by the attackers exploiting its online banking platform.
Kaspersky did not identify the banks and is still working with law-enforcement agencies to investigate the attacks, which the company says are ongoing.
The Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a nonprofit that alerts banks about hacking activity, said in a statement that its members received a briefing about the report in January.
"We cannot comment on individual actions our members have taken, but on balance we believe our members are taking appropriate actions to prevent and detect these kinds of attacks and minimize any effects on their customers," the organization said in a statement. "The report that Russian banks were the primary victims of these attacks may be a significant change in targeting strategy by Russian-speaking cybercriminals."
The White House is putting an increasing focus on cybersecurity in the wake of numerous data breaches of companies ranging from mass retailers like Target and Home Depot to Sony Pictures Entertainment and health insurer Anthem.
The administration wants Congress to replace the existing patchwork of state laws with a national standard giving companies 30 days to notify consumers if their personal information has been compromised.

NEW YORK (Associated Press) — Stephen Curry honored a fallen fan the best way he knew how. Zach LaVine made a name for himself in a dunk contest that lacked star punch.
Curry bested Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and six others to win his first 3-point contest, and LaVine put on a spectacular aerial display to take home the dunk competition during a memorable All-Star Saturday night.
Curry paid homage to one of the three victims of the shooting in North Carolina, writing a message to Deah Shaddy Barakat on his sneakers for the shooting stars competition, then swapping those for a different color pair for the 3-point contest. Barakat was one of three Muslim college students killed Tuesday in Curry's home state.
"It only seemed right to honor him and his family, and hopefully they know that people are thinking about them," Curry said. "They're not alone, and hopefully it can give them some kind of peace and comfort knowing that he was a special guy. And I just did my little part to shed light toward him."
Curry said there were several connections to the family that touched him.
He said Barakat did his wedding photo similar to a magazine cover featuring Curry and his wife, Ayesha. Barakat also wore a No. 30 jersey — Curry's number — in basketball leagues and some of Curry's family members even played pickup games with Barakat in North Carolina.
"They all spoke highly of him," Curry said. "It's a great platform to be on, but it only seemed right."
Barakat's wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, also were killed in the attack. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder in their deaths.
Curry, the starting point guard for the Western Conference in Sunday's All-Star game at Madison Square Garden, made sure he'd have the chance to shine a bright light on Barakat and his family.
He scored 27 points in the final round. Curry connected on 13 consecutive shots until missing his final attempt, bringing fans and celebrities roaring to their feet after every swish at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
Thompson, who had an opening-round best of 24, scored only 14 points in the final round. Cleveland's Kyrie Irving finished second with 17 points in the three-man final.
It was a rare year when the 3-point competition had as much — if not more — intrigue heading into it than the dunk contest because of the notable names who were — and weren't — participating in each.
Even still, LaVine left a lasting impression few will forget.
The 19-year-old Timberwolves rookie scored a perfect 100 in the opening round. He highlighted his scintillating start with a through-the-legs, one-handed reverse slam, wearing a white No. 23 Jordan jersey for what he dubbed the "Space Jam" dunk.
On his second dunk, he tossed the ball up, put it behind his back in the air and threw down a powerful one-handed slam for another 50 from the Hall of Fame judges — Julius Erving, Walt Frazier, Nate Archibald, Bernard King and Chris Mullin.
LaVine had a final round score of 94 to overtake Orlando's Victor Oladipo, who struggled to convert his first attempt in the final and finished with a 72 in the championship round. LaVine became the first Timberwolves player to win the dunk contest since Isaiah Rider in 1994.
"I'm still on cloud nine. I feel like I'm dreaming," LaVine said. "Seeing all the dunk contests and people hoisting the trophy, I just saw myself do it and lived it. So it's a dream come true. I'm glad my family is here to witness it and go through it."
Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka The Greek Freak, and Brooklyn's Mason Plumlee didn't advance past the opening round.
Even with all the above-the-rim athleticism, the MVP frontrunner put on quite a show from long distance.
Curry, who set the NBA-record with 272 3-pointers in a season two years ago, finally took home the 3-point crown on his fourth try. He earned bragging rights over his fellow "Splash Brothers" star in the process, putting pressure on Thompson to follow his spotlight-stealing final round.
He couldn't.
Nobody could.
Atlanta's Kyle Korver, who is shooting a league-high 52.3 percent from beyond the arc, and defending champion Marco Belinelli of San Antonio never made it past the first round with scores of 18. Portland's Wesley Matthews finished with 22, Los Angeles Clippers guard J.J. Redick scored 17 and Houston's James Harden had 15.
Chris Bosh, Dominique Wilkins and Swin Cash won their third straight shooting stars competition earlier. Houston's Patrick Beverley won the skills competition.
