Kansas City, Missouri native and Strange Music record label boss, Tech N9ne, has ended his 22-year marriage to Lecoya LeJeune.
TMZ reports that they separated in 2005, but Tech, born Aaron Yates, didn't file for divorce until 2015. It was finalized earlier this month.
Tech was awarded 49% of Strange Music and his management company. He has to give his ex-wife an asset equalization payment of $150,000, as well as monthly spousal support in the amount of $5,555.55 for 6 years.
Lecoya also walked away with several bank accounts.
The former couple have 2 adult kids, so no custody or child support issues came into play.

Atlanta rapper 21 Savage and his Baton Rouge nemesis, 22 Savage, might have a way to settle their differences without anyone getting seriously hurt.
50 Cent just announced that he and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are working on adding a boxing match between the two to an event that will also see Chris Brown and Soulja Boy scrap for three rounds.
"I just got off the phone with champ. So, I'ma give y'all an update," 50 says in a video uploaded to his Instagram account Friday, January 6. "We got a whole card now. We only had one fight. We had Chris Brown and Soulja Boy. Now we're trying to put together 21 Savage and 22 Savage. They gon' fight for the name. And then we're only gonna have one Savage."
This beef was sparked when 22 Savage, who is also a comedian, thought it would be funny to copy 21's name.
Initially, 21 ignored the situation, but as 22 started to get serious about the rap game and gained some notoriety, things escalated into genuine animosity between the two.
Kenyon Martin
Another fight being added to the card will pit Tim Thomas against Kenyon Martin. The friction between those two dates back to their playing days in the NBA, and an altercation that took place at a Dallas club in 2004.
Tim Thomas
In May of 2016 Thomas told CBS Radio that he would like to box Martin for charity. His wish has been granted.

When 22 Savage emerged on the rap scene most people assumed it was just someone trying to parody 21 Savage. After all, 21 was established and the Atlanta artist's career was solidified when he was named a 2016 XXL Freshman.
However, 22 hasn't gone away. In fact, the Baton Rouge comedian-turned-rapper has continued to release songs and videos.
21 and his homie No Plug initially ignored the situation, but as of late the two camps have been dissing each other.
22 sat down for a new interview with Say Cheese TV to give his side of the story.
Say Cheese: Last time we spoke you and 21 Savage didn't have a difference. Now it's 'fuck them, fuck this nigga, I'm coming to Baton Rouge, I'm doing this.' What sparked that off?
22: One of his homeboys had made a post with little tombstones. I guess they thought I wasn't a street nigga or something. I'm really a street nigga so i told the niggas to pull up. It went from there. Everybody made videos and shit.
Say Cheese: So, he put tombstones over your picture?
22: Yeah, and then No Plug had commented under what one of his homeboys said. He was like 'something, something, something,' so I told him to pull up.
Say Cheese: No Plug is a guy that's pretty known in the industry for the Bankroll Fresh situation. Do you know him personally?
22: No
Say Cheese: You told him pull up. And then what happened after that?
22: They got to making videos. I said what I had to say. And that was that.
Say Cheese: One thing that really shocked me was I never seen a situation where the whole city stood up for one guy. Why do you think B.R. stood up for you like that?
22. That Rouge gon' roll with that Rouge regardless
Say Cheese: No Plug said he was gonna come out here and shoot a music video. Was that his video or somebody he was cool with?
22. I don't know. It just don't matter who he come with.
Say Cheese: You also tweeted that 21 Savage hit up Worldstar and told them not to post any of your content. How did you feel about that when you found out about it?
22: I understand where he coming from 'cause my name 22. But it is what it is.
Say Cheese: So why 22, out of every rapper in the game?
22: It come from the comedy shit. At first it was a joke, until a nigga thought I was pussy. I ain't pussy at all.
Say Cheese: Why do you think people don't take you serious?
22: 'Cause my name 22. 21 ... 22, the whole concept is funny. People look at it as a joke. Now it's time to show 'em what it's really hitting for with me and the music. I'm raw with this shit.
Say Cheese: I did a interview with a few artists and they felt like you had to go to Atlanta for them to take you serious. If you gon' try to follow a artist's footsteps. His name and stuff like that ...
22: I didn't really try to follow him. i did it 'cause I knew what it was gon' do. I know how to cause controversy easy.
Say Cheese: Is the differences done with 21 Savage?
22: I can't say all that 'cause you don't never know how they thinking, so you'll never know how we thinking.They come to the Rouge on the dumb shit we gotta stand up and show a nigga.
Say Cheese: What if they come out here and they not fucking with nobody? They just shooting videos and shit like that. Is it cool or is it a no fly zone right now?
22: Right now, as far as what they said it's a no fly zone. I don't nothing else to say on that.

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) — The brief, chaotic life of Bobbi Kristina Brown was never really her own.
Born and raised in the shadow of fame and litigation, shattered by the loss of her mother, Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina was overwhelmed by the achievements and demons of others before she could begin to figure out who she was.
Her demise was the most awful inheritance of all.
Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in the suburban Atlanta townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, the man she called her husband. She was 22-years-old.
"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months," Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family said Sunday.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Bobbi Kristina's death Sunday night and will issue a news release on Monday.
Police said she was found Jan. 31. A police report described it as a "drowning."
Bobbi Kristina was the only child between Houston and Brown.
She was hospitalized for months in Atlanta — eventually being placed in hospice care — after being found in a manner grimly similar to the way her megastar mother died three years earlier. Gordon said at the time it seemed Bobbi Kristina wasn't breathing and lacked a pulse before help arrived.
Brown — the sole heir of her mother's estate — did have dreams.
She identified herself on Twitter as "Daughter of Queen WH," ''Entertainer/Actress" with William Morris & Co., and "LAST of a dying breed." She told Oprah Winfrey shortly after her mother's death in 2012 that she wanted to carry on her mother's legacy by singing, acting and dancing. But her career never took off. Actor and producer Tyler Perry said she had a future as an actress after her debut on his TV show "For Better or Worse" in 2012, but she only appeared in one episode. Aside from two ill-fated reality TV shows and the occasional paparazzi video, her image mostly showed up in the "selfies" she posted online.
She attended award shows and appeared on red carpets with her mother and father. She performed a duet with her mother in 2009, singing "My Love Is Your Love" in New York's Central Park. Shebecame social media sensation, sending more than 11,000 tweets and attracting 164,000 followers.
As the news of her death spread across social media, several celebrities tweeted their condolences.
Grammy-winning performer Missy Elliot tweeted, "My heart is truly heavy. May u rest in peace with your mommy #BobbiKristina sending prayers 2 the Brown/Houston family."
"Empire" star Taraji P. Henson tweeted, "Rest in heaven."
"RIP #BobbiKristina My deepest sympathies 2 your father #BobbyBrown n your GrandMa #CissyHouston We will miss ya 4sho darling ;) Actress Vivica A. Fox said on Twitter.
And Winfrey tweeted, "Peace at Last!"
Whitney Houston, known as "America's Sweetheart," was an impossible act to follow.
The late singer sold more than 50 million records in the United States alone during her career. Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of songs like "Saving All My Love For You," ''I Will Always Love You" and "The Greatest Love of All." She earned six Grammys and starred in the films "The Bodyguard" and "The Preacher's Wife."
Bobby Brown, who had a bad-boy image, also became a huge star, selling platinum records with New Edition and going solo before drugs and legal woes derailed his career.
Bobbi Kristina appeared alongside both parents in 2005 on the Bravo reality show "Being Bobby Brown," which captured her parents fighting, swearing and appearing in court. The Hollywood Reporter said it revealed that Brown was "even more vulgar than the tabloids suggest," and managed "to rob Houston of any last shreds of dignity."
Years earlier, as Houston was preparing to give birth to Bobbi Kristina, she expressly left Bobby Brown out of her will, putting everything in a trust "for the benefit of her children and more remote descendants," according to the Houstons' 2012 petition.
After their divorce in 2007, Houston kept custody of Bobbi Kristina and raised her alongside Gordon, an orphan three years older than her daughter. Houston brought Gordon into her family, and while she never formally adopted him or included him in the will, both teenagers called her "mom."
The threesome's tight bond was shattered when Houston's assistant found the singer's lifeless body face-down in a foot of water in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton just before the Grammy Awards in 2012. Authorities found prescription drugs in the suite, and evidence of heart disease and cocaine in her body, but determined her death was an accidental drowning.
Bobbi Kristina, then 18, was at the hotel and became so hysterical she had to be hospitalized. "She wasn't only a mother, she was a best friend," she told Winfrey.
She and Gordon then went public with their romance, posting defiant messages online after the tabloids accused them of incest.
The Houstons tolerated their relationship, appearing with them on television that year in Lifetime's reality show "The Houstons: On Our Own."
But in one telling episode, the late singer's relatives lectured the pair about drinking after they show up in an obviously altered state, and accused Gordon of failing to take care of the grieving girl.
Relations between Gordon and some other relatives continued to sour over the past year after Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized. A protective order barred him from being within 200 feet of Pat Houston, Bobbi Kristina's aunt. A feud erupted over whether Gordon could visit Bobbi Kristina while she stayed in the hospital.
On June 24, Bobbi Kristina's court-appointed representative sued Gordon, accusing him of misrepresenting his relationship with Bobbi Kristina. The complaint accused him of being violent toward her and taking more than $11,000 from her account while she was in a medically induced coma after the Jan. 31 tragedy.
The lawsuit also accused Gordon of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, unjust enrichment and conversion.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said he and his office are interested in reviewing the investigative file to determine whether any charges will be filed.
Also on June 24, Pat Houston said Bobbi Kristina had been placed in hospice care.
Bobbi Kristina was fabulously wealthy for a teenager, but her money was in a spendthrift trust, designed to keep creditors and predators from taking advantage of people who can't manage their money. Bobbi Kristina's grandmother, Cissy Houston, and aunt, Pat Houston, eventually took over control of the trust and then took Bobbi Kristina to court to protect the estate.
The Houstons called Bobbi Kristina "a highly visible target for those who would exercise undue influence over her inheritance and/or seek to benefit from (her) resources and celebrity," and urged a judge to delay how quickly she could control the money.
Bobbi Kristina agreed to the delay, and the judge granted their request to seal the case.
The size of Houston's estate is a privately held secret.
In May, a judge appointed Bobby Brown and Pat Houston as co-guardians of Bobbi Kristina, giving them joint responsibility in decisions related to her care and medical needs. Lawyer Bedelia Hargrove was appointed conservator to oversee Bobbi Kristina's assets, including her rights and legal claims.
Houston signed a $100 million record deal in 2001, but failed to deliver, and lost two homes to foreclosure toward the end of her life. But her untimely death revived a hunger for her music, and her name and likeness generated revenue that became part of Bobbi Kristina's inheritance.
By January 2014, the young couple who grew up as brother and sister were sharing a townhome in Roswell, Georgia, and calling themselves husband and wife.
They posted images of their hands wearing wedding rings, with the caption "#HappilyMarried. So #InLove. If you didn't get it the first time that is." They got identical "WH" tattoos with flying doves on their wrists, and Gordon added a large portrait of Houston's face on his arm.
Their marriage announcement troubled Pat Houston, who obtained a restraining order against Gordon two months later.
"Damn, lol, it's incredible how the world will judge you 4ANY&EVERYthing," Bobbi Kristina tweeted at the time.
By last September, Pat Houston said she was "very proud of Krissy."
"Young people today are up against so much with social media and everything else that presents itself to them," Pat Houston told The Associated Press. "We try to be there for her, just to try to guide and direct her."
Judging from her postings online, Bobbi Kristina was focused on the approaching anniversary of her mother's death. In one of her last tweets, she said, "Littlelady&yourgrowing young man @nickdgordon miss you mommy ..:') SOmuch.. loving you more every sec. #Anniversary!"

Despite calls for non violence and calm by Michael Brown's mother and Al Sharpton, clashes between protesters and police continued in Ferguson, Missouri.
On Tuesday, August 12, 5 people were shot and 12 arrested. A fourth day of unrest unfolded on Wednesday as another 10 people, including St. Louis Alderman Antonio French, were taken into custody. 1 officer suffered a broken ankle.
Police are still searching for the person that shot a young woman in the head on Tuesday. She's expected to make a full recovery.
News 4 reports that police used tear gas canisters to disperse crowds on Wednesday after molotov cocktails and rocks were thrown at them. Police also brought in armored vehicles.
"It's sad because this is not the intent of any of this here," said a protester.
Two reporters, Ryan Reilly of The Huffington Post and Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post were arrested while working on their laptops at a McDonalds by SWAT officers for "not packing their bags quick enough."

The street violence in Chicago continues to spiral out of control. On Thursday, September 19, either one or two gunmen opened fire on a group of people in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.
When the bullets stopped flying at Cornell Park, 13 people were left injured, including 3-year old Deonta “Tay-man” Howard, who was shot in the face.
The young boy's grandmother vented at the police on the scene.
"You cops can't solve sh*t," she yelled, according to the Chicago Sun Times.
Deonta's 18-year old aunt Lavada Hardeman was distraught. Her brother Jerome “J Money” Wood, a rapper affiliated with Lil Durk was killed on Labor Day.
"I can't catch a break," Hardeman said.
Deonta was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. After surgery he was listed in critical condition, but was expected to survive. He will probably need more surgery.
In addition to the 13 shot at Cornell Park, two men were killed and nine other people were injured in other gun violence throughout the city Thursday night.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued a statement Friday morning regarding the violence gripping The Windy City.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel
“Senseless and brazen acts of violence have no place in Chicago and betray all that we stand for. The perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I encourage everyone in the community to step forward with any information and everyone in Chicago to continue their individual efforts to build stronger communities where violence has no place."
Police said the Cornell Park shootings were gang related.

33-year old Nashville resident Orlando Shaw apparently never leaned about wrapping it up during sex because he's been taken to court by 14 women who say he fathered their 22 children.
"I was young and ambitious and I love women. You can't knock no man for loving women," Shaw told News Channel 5.
The state is currently paying $7000 a month to the mothers of Shaw's kids because the deadbeat dad has been unable to. He blames his lengthy criminal record for his inability to find a job.
"To be honest with you, don't nothing come to a dreamer," said Shaw. "I go everywhere looking for a job, where am I going to get one with my lengthy record?"
His initial goal was to have 50 kids, but he's given up on that idea and now wants to have a vasectomy.
"How do we apply our child support guidelines to this many children in this many households," said magistrate Scott Rosenberg.
Shaw hopes he can win the lottery.
"I'm just hoping one day I'll get lucky and might scratch off the numbers or something. I play the hell out of the Tennessee lottery."

The Boston Marathon was rocked today by two bombs. At least 2 people are dead and 23 are hurt with what is being described as gruesome injuries. It's highly possible the injury toll will rise as police try to contain a chaotic scene.
27,000 runners took part in the race. The explosions occurred near the finish line.
Jackie Bruno, a reporter for New England Cable News reported on Twitter that she was close to the blast and saw many injured.
“We saw two big puffs. I thought maybe it was fireworks. Then it went off again. And then all of a sudden we heard people crying and running away. It was a huge horde of people just running away,” he said. “We just got away from the scene and away from tall buildings. I’m scared and emotional. I’m wondering if there are people who I was volunteering with who were still there and got hurt," said witness Serghino Rene according to NBC.
"There are people who are really, really bloody," Laura McLean, a runner from Toronto, told the Associated Press. "They were pulling them into the medical tent."
The AP is reporting that two more bombs were found and were being disabled.

**UPDATE**
The Boston Globe is reporting that at least 125 people were injured in today's bombing in addition to the 2 previously reported deaths at the Boston Marathon. No arrests have been made although police continue to question people.
“We’re questioning many people, but there is no one in custody at this point,” Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said.
The bombs exploded at 2:50 p.m. eastern time. It happened on Patriots Day, which is a state holiday in Massachusetts that celebrates the beginning of the American Revolution.
President Obama has vowed to bring those responsible to justice.
“We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts,” Obama said today. “But make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.”
