Lastonia Leviston, the ex-girlfriend of rapper Rick Ross and mother of his daughter Toie, recently shared her experience dealing with the aftermath of her leaked sex tape during the feud between Ross and 50 Cent in the 2000s.  

Leviston discussed the topic on Netflix's new reality series, W.A.G.s to Riches, which premiered on January 22. The show delves into the lives of women in relationships with high-profile celebrities and athletes.  

Leviston is the founder and owner of Instatique, a fashion boutique located in Miami, where she currently resides. She and Ross ended their relationship in 2003, a year after their daughter Toie was born.  

In the premiere episode, Leviston opened up about the leaked tape to her co-star Alexis Welch Stoudemire. She recounted feeling suicidal after 50 Cent allegedly released the tape of her and her then-boyfriend Maurice Murray during his 2009 feud with Ross.  

"In that second my whole life changed. I became suicidal. I didn’t want to live anymore. I felt like I was damaged goods. Like no man would ever love me again. I felt like I had let my kids down tremendously. I know people in the group could be looking at me differently, all because I was trying to show a man how much I loved him," Leviston said.  

For context, 50 Cent reportedly posted a 13-minute tape of Leviston and Murray during the height of his feud with Ross. Leviston filed a lawsuit against 50 Cent in 2010, alleging he leaked the tape after purchasing it from Murray.  

The rapper, however, claimed Murray gave him the tape as revenge after Leviston confronted Murray about his infidelity and informed the other woman. Leviston ultimately won the lawsuit in 2015, with the court ordering 50 Cent to pay her $5 million.
