Singer Monica and her ex-fiance’ Rocko da Don used to be my favorite Atlanta hood couple. The two are said to have broken up late last year and each have since gone their separate ways. Monica even announced their breakup earlier this year.
Rocko spoke up about the break up a while ago, stating that he and Mo were still “cool” [CLICK HERE for video] but now Monica has gone on to develop a high-profile relationship with LA Lakers baller Shannon Brown, which he confirmed via Twitter just a few days ago.
[READ: Confirmed! Monica & Shannon Brown are Officially a Dating...]
Since the confirmation, everyone’s been wondering how Rocko, the father of Mo’s two adorable sons, feels about the situation. Well… he’s finally decided to address it “one time and one time only..”
Rocko reveals the following via his Twitter page today (8/24):
@Monicamylife and I are life partners.. We have 2 beautiful kids together and I have the utmost respect for her. But just to set the record str8 her and I broke up October 09.. That’s almost a year ago.. Why all of this is still being discussed I have no idea.. I am very happy that Monica has found someone else in which she can be happy with. But I felt the need to address this issue after being informed that my name was mentioned today in a blog in a negative manner. Just to set the record str8 I am a stand up dude. I have morals and live by certain principles and codes. I would not stand for my name to be associated with any of this he say she say immaturity.
Moving forward I would appreciate if the media respect my privacy and not mention my name when referring to Monica’s present or future personal relationships…
I don’t have the time nor luxury to be concerned with other peoples lives right now I’m too focused on my own!
I’d like to apologize to my twitter fam for the neglect. I’ve been overwhelmed shooting my debut film thru my new A1 film company and finishing up my sophomore album ” 1 of 1″ both scheduled for a jan. 2011 release.
With that being said I wish everyone the best as I continue to strive to be better ! Stay tuned for a big announcement coming from me soon!!!
In All Sincerity,
Rocko
There you have it. Straight from Rocko. Now carry on…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CO-SIGN!!!
Wow its no way that he is not hurting about losing this beautiful female and having to have his kids around another man. Its no way. But I understand he has to try to make himself look good, but we all no the truth. And i agree they are not life partners.
Wow Rocko is all in his feelings. I want to do a post on it but he’s so mad he doesn’t want to hear what I have to say. He is so jealous and doesn’t know how to handle it. I don’t think Monica is doing it on purpose. Rocko and her have been together for awhile and she use to having a man around. Rocko needs to get his shit together and get his women back.
I do not respect him a s dude bc he played monica and made her look bad. He’s still a little boy and hopefully shannon is better.
October 09? Why is this coming out as if they broke up right after her album was released. These celebs think we are stupid. Usher is the KING at it, Fannie is living it, and now Mo. SMH! I still love you though Mo. Unlike the rest of these hoes she is truly a class act.
Rocko is not cute either. Thank God monica Boys are blessed!! GEESH…..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I too agree.
I laughed so hard when I saw Rocko’s statement yesterday especially where he wrote that he and Monica are "life partners",which is ironic considering he never married Monica.If Monica and Shannon get married,he will be her life partner,not this clown Rocko.
It’s the classic story….Ex-girlfriend finds herself a "real man" and the ex-boyfriend is mad because he thought she would be on standby!
SAGE- I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU…..WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR SOMEONE, NO MAN CAN STOP OR CHANGE.
ppl kill me with so much negative about Rocko…first let me say that he his a stand up guy, ppl make mistakes in life and if Monica forgave him, and you are a true fan then you should do the same….trust she don’t need outsiders to defend her….she has moved on and so should all of you…no one really knows what happen, but Monica & Rock and GUESS what…sorry to tell you all, but that is all the ppl that need to know what happen…Oh and yes I am a friend of both Monica & Rock!! PPL get over yourself!!!
Oh yeah for those that thought them being "life partners" for life was funny….If you have kids with someone that makes you LIFE PARTNERS….You will always be a part of that persons life and nothing & no one can change that…
Correction my dear: that makes you PARENTS, NOT partners for life. A MARRIAGE is a partnership for life. Only hood ass folk that know nothing other than having a baby dad dy/baby momma would even FATHOM saying something t,hat stupid. When you have children with someone, your only responsibility is to those CHILDREN, NOT the children & the other parent. Partners for life my ass……..that’s bullshit if I’ve never heard bullshit before.
I always said that she was too good for him and she is too pretty for him anyway. Watching the show when it aired you could tell that he really didn’t wanna be there. It was always her checking on their house and taking care of the kids, going to the stuido trying to make another album. Remember how she was running around trying to find a good single to come out with? Where was he? Right!!! He was no where around, yeah they talked on the phone but you can talk on the phone with anyone. I know a player when I see one. Well I say this if Monica forgave him and moved on, then I’m going to do the same, cause it wasn’t my relationship anyway and I didn’t have to be in it. I just wish them they best in whatever they do and hope that they both find true love, even if that means no with eachother. Monica is not the kind of woman to sit around and wait for a man to make up his mind, and I’m not that kind either, so I don’t blame her for moving on. Long as she’s with someone that loves her and loves her kids as if they were his own and the same go’s for whatever his name is then I see no problem with it. Why stay and work something out that haven’t been working for years, otherwise they would be married. I’m glad that she moved on and he did too and if they are as cool as they say they are then that’s great, cause no kid should have to grow up like that. But think about it if they were not cool do you really think they would tell the world that? Hell naw I would tell no one nothing if I knew it was going to hurt my kids. But anyway good luck to them both.
@Soo Meee…We are all giving our views on this subject,just as you are.Just because you hear things that you don’t want to hear,does not mean ‘we need to move on" because frankly I would assume that NONE of US were involved in their situation,so what are you talking about?
I personally don’t know anything about Rocko except that he was Monica boyfriend and they had 2 children together and that’s the extent of that union.
I have NEVER heard a baby father claim to be a ‘life partner’ to his children baby mother especially WHEN THEY WERE NEVER MARRIED!
I sense that Rocko became territorial because Monica moved onto another guy and that guy is an UPGRADE!…Here is me wishing that Monica and Shannon have a very nice vacation that they are currently on,you go girl!
@ Queen City…I so agree.
[...] Announces Separation from Rocko Rocko Speaks on Monica Breakup Monica is Engaged… Again! Monica Responds to Pregnancy Rumors + Her “Black Girls Rock” [...]
I think Rocko meant as parents they are life partners which is tru.
As a man I kno he might not be as cool as he portrays to be but at least he is handling it well i guess n e way im happy for shannon n monica brown 2 many ppl lookin down on rocko when he’s already lookin down on hisself
Monica is a hoodrat with low self-esteem. She and Shannon will only be married for a year before her insecurities get the best of her.. He will get tired of always having to boost up her self-esteem and then will drift away. He’ll knoch her up first, because we all know she loves and is very comfortable with the title, "baby’s mama."
I wonder if Rocko considers MissViBaby his 6yr old son’s mother his life partner also, along with his oldest son Malik’s mother. I know Monica says you have to leave the past in the past but she has to look at her past everyday her 2 sons by that idiot. I wish Monica and Shannon well in life and marriage beautiful couple.
