Mos Def's ex-wife, Alana Wyatt-Smith, has released a book titled Breaking The Code of Silence which chronicles her marriage to the Brooklyn rapper.

Smith and Mos Def met in Toronto in 2005 and they married three days later. In the book, Smith claims during their marriage Mos Def was demanding, overprotective, and physically abusive.

Despite separating in October 2006, Smith claims that Mos still refuses to grant her a divorce.

“He won't sign the papers,” Smith explained to The Toronto Star.  “He told my lawyer if he can't have me, nobody else will.”

Smith hails from Canada and is a former stripper and seventh grade dropout.  She also details her turbulent childhood, difficult teenage years and her relationships with other celebrities who include various professional athletes and Kanye West.

Smith claims her relationship with Kanye was not sexual and she met the rapper/producer in Las Vegas.
