Scott, 51, took to Instagram on February 26, 2024, to share a freestyle that detailed her emotional turmoil regarding both her marriage and her fractured relationship with her sister, Tamika Scott.
She rapped, “Reading through them comments, saying he having a baby / I don’t know who’s lyin’ and maybe I was blind,” referencing rumors that Bivens fathered a child with another woman.

A Tumultuous Marriage
LaTocha Scott and Rocky Bivens married in 1995 and have a son, Jamon, who was born in 1997.
Their marriage was rocked by scandal in November 2022 when a woman named Unykue Foucha alleged she was pregnant with Bivens’ child.
Foucha claimed they had been involved in a long-term secret relationship, posting a sonogram on social media and calling the unborn child “Timeless Love Bivens.”
While Bivens denied the allegations, the rumors took a toll on Scott’s personal and professional life.
Around the same time, Scott left Xscape under contentious circumstances.
Reports suggested that her departure stemmed from her husband’s involvement in the group’s business dealings, including accusations that Bivens had received secret payments for Xscape performances.

Scott’s freestyle also touched on her estranged relationship with her sister and fellow Xscape member, Tamika Scott.
She rapped,
“It’s a crazy feeling / But y’all know family sh*t be needin’ time for healing.”
The sisters have had a publicly documented falling out, with Tamika previously accusing LaTocha and Bivens of stealing $30,000 in royalties from her.
While LaTocha denied knowledge of the missing money, the allegations deepened their rift.
In the freestyle, LaTocha included a direct message to her sister, saying, “You have my word; we gon’ have some words.”
As of now, Tamika has not responded publicly to the track.

However, her freestyle revealed just how much the turmoil has affected her.
“Losing everything—marriage, family, my blood,” she lamented, also expressing hurt over being excluded from Xscape’s recent performances.
Despite her struggles, Scott remains hopeful for reconciliation, particularly with her sister.
