Did he cheat? Was it with a stripper? What happened in their marriage? Daniel Gibson tells all….

Daniel Gibson Responds To Rumors He Cheated On Keyshia Cole

The separation saga between R&B songstress Keyshia Cole and her NBA baller hubby Daniel Gibson has been under a public microscope for over a year now and while Keyshia has been very vocal about their relationship troubles, Daniel has taken the silent approach for the most part….until now.

In this revealing interview with Rolling Out, “Boobie” finally give his side of the story on his separation from Keyshia, whether or not her cheated on her, the infamous photo of him with a stripper and more. Check out a few interview excerpts below

On what went wrong between he and Keyshia:
I think that life happened. In certain situations, you are a match made in heaven. But at the same time, nothing is perfect — and nobody is perfect. Then in some situations, you aren’t going to be as perfect as some people expect you to be.

On the public influence on this demise of their marriage & “growing apart:”
What happened with me and her was that our relationship was out there for everyone to see. So whenever we were going through our problems, it became public and everyone saw the ups and downs. With us, I think it was just a matter of us growing apart over time. I can’t say that there was one thing that broke us up, but what I can say as a man; when you are in a relationship, and you say those vows, I take full responsibility for everything that didn’t go right.

On making things work in a marriage regardless of problems:
I feel like you’re never supposed to allow your marriage to fall apart. Whether it’s the blogs saying I cheated, or if I don’t like your attitude, at the end of the day, when you’re married to somebody, and you say “I do,” it says for better or for worse, and regardless of what comes in your relationship, you’re supposed to work through it. For example, even if you wanted to say that I cheated, you’re still supposed to figure out a way to make that work.

So I’m not backing down from anything that people have to say about me, and I’m not taking the easy way out. But I am taking full responsibility for that not being my wife.

Boobie also gave a very detailed & straight forward answer to the million dollar question of whether or not he cheated, spoke on the real story behind his connection to the Houston stripper that he was rumored to have had an affair with and more.  Hit the flip to hear what else he had to say.

On whether or not he cheated:
No.

On Keyshia making songs hinting that he cheated:
Well, let me put it like this. I won’t say that I didn’t cheat, but I will say that I cheated my wife out of a friend in a lot of situations where I was supposed to hold her down and I didn’t. I cheated my wife out of a lot of different things. I feel like when we got together, I thought I was a man, and I thought I had it all figured out but I didn’t. I think I was like 23 when we met, and so a lot of mistakes that you shouldn’t make as a man in a relationship with your wife, I made. So you can go down the line — I probably made every mistake.

On taking responsibility for his actions as a husband:
The difference between me then and me now is that back then, I probably would have tried to sit here and make an excuse like, “oh it was because of her attitude, and it made me go out and cheat on her.” No, that’s a sucker move — that’s for a coward to say. So I‘m sitting here telling you that regardless of what she did, I married her. I loved her. And none of that other stuff should have happened.

We’re supposed to still be together doing it right.

Hmmmmm. So he says he DIDN’T cheat….but then also he says “stuff happened” that shouldn’t have happened on his part. We’re confused.

However, Daniel also addressed rumors that he got his dirty-dog on with a stripper behind Keyshia’s back and reveals the real reason behind the downfall of their marriage. Check that out on the final page.

On rumors he cheated with a stripper:
As far as the whole stripper thing goes, of course I went to the strip club and had a picture taken of me with a stripper. But what I’ve been trying to figure out when I hear people gossiping and talking is, since when do two pictures constitute a relationship? It only happens that way when the media tries to paint a picture that this is what happened to our relationship.

On rumors that the photo of him with the stripper fueled their break up:
That didn’t really have anything to do with us being separated, because when you think about it, we were actually already separated before all of that came out.

And that’s why I say it’s way deeper than a superficial story that I cheated. It’s way deeper. What it really boils down to was, I just wasn’t a good friend to her, and I wasn’t a good person for her at the end of the day.

On why he seems to be “taking the fall” if he didn’t cheat or wasn’t to blame for the separation:
Me being the way that I am, and the way that I was raised, I personally felt like love should be private, so I really didn’t want to agree to us doing the show at the beginning. Because I really felt like, when you open up that door, you allow people to be able to hate, or form whatever assumptions they want to about you because you’re putting your life out there. But I felt like it should be private. And, you know, she sings and she sings from that hurt place. I respect what she does, and she has to do that, but as far as I go, I couldn’t care less what somebody has to say about me as a man.

The people that know me are the people that matter. And those people know what I’m about and what I stand for. So feel free to call me a stripper-chasing coward who let his family down. But those that know me know what I’m really about and that is never going to change.

One thing is for sure, Boobie definitely doesn’t sound happy to be separated from Keyshia. It actually  sounds like he still wants to work things out, riiiggght?

Do you think there’s a chance that these two will get back together? For more from Bobbie on his rollercoaster relationship with Keyshia, you can read the full interview HERE.
