Steffans and Kool G Rap
Steffans' Confessions includes a number of chapters describing her relationship with Juice Crew member and hip hop recording artist Kool G Rap (b. Nathaniel Wilson). Her descriptions of Wilson's alcohol and cocaine abuse, epileptic seizures, philandering, and tendency toward domestic abuse, both psychological and physical, garnered a minor publicity stir and was a topic of discussion for several of the book's reviewers [1]. When interviewed on popular New York radio station Hot 97, she discussed her book with host Miss Jones before taking a call from Wilson (Kool G Rap) and wife Ma Barker, in which the two callers criticized Steffans' behavior toward a daughter (allegedly fathered by rapper Method Man [who denied the claims] but not mentioned in Confessions) and refuted her claims regarding Wilson's abuse. [2]
Relationships since going public
Since publishing her memoir, Steffens reportedly became involved with comedian and talk show host Bill Maher of Real Time with Bill Maher. That relationship apparently ended as of August 2006, as it was reported she was with Bobby Brown after he and Whitney Houston had separated [3].
