<h2>Relationship with Moniece Slaughter</h2>

The break up was so heated with anger and disdain, neither cared about keeping their composure. Some couples wanted to keep their dealings private especially when things go bad.

<p>The split up couple traded attacks at each other publicly on Twitter. The public and media got to witness first hand the problems that the two were having. Moneice’s statements crafted a negative picture of Rich Dollaz. She claimed that he was a neglectful boyfriend that didn’t pay any attention to her. Rich Dollaz was irked by the claim because it makes him look like a bad partner. He wasn’t happy that Moniece would say things to hurt his attractiveness for a future potential mate.</p>

<p>Valentine’s Day is a sacred holiday for women because it’s when they get to be loved and show love to their partner. Moneice blasted Rich Dollaz for not even getting her a gift on Valentine’s Day. Moniece got over the relationship really quick as she started to date somebody else shortly after the split. She was insisted that they were just dating and not in a relationship yet but her new love already appreciates her more than Rich Dollaz ever did.</p>
