Teena Marie did an interview shortly before she sadly passed away in 2010, and the stories she told about how she ended up raising the child of a mega superstar is actually pretty funny. The superstar in question is none other than her ex, Rick James, and even though she was revealing a serious situation, the way she told the story will make you chuckle.
The parental arrangement between Teena and Rick worked out perfectly in the end though.
Teena Raised Rick James’ Son For Him…But There’s More
Rick James has three children, but it was Teena who actually raised his middle child, Rick James Jr., for him. As if that wasn’t enough to make the ladies clutch their pearls and the fellas give a resounding ‘Say what?!!,’ the way Teena actually explained how she ended up being Rick Jr.’s ‘mother,’ is even more surprising…and interesting.
