Malaysia Pargo is best known for her appearances on the reality television series Basketball Wives: LA. She gained public attention through her marriage to NBA player Jannero Pargo. The couple married in 2006 and has three children together.
In 2012, Malaysia and Jannero separated. Following the split, Malaysia filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. She requested sole physical and legal custody of their children, with visitation rights for Jannero. In addition, she sought both spousal and child support, along with coverage of her legal fees.
Early statements from both parties concerning the separation were vague and appeared to target each other indirectly. However, as the separation progressed into formal settlement discussions, both indicated a willingness to remain amicable for the sake of their children.
Shortly after news of her separation became public, rumors circulated linking Malaysia to Mason Betha, better known as Mase—a former rapper turned pastor. While sources close to Malaysia stated that she and Mason were friends offering emotional support to each other, media speculation about a romantic relationship emerged. Malaysia did not confirm or deny these rumors in any interviews related to her divorce.
As of June 2014, the divorce remained legally unresolved, while unverified reports continued to suggest that Malaysia and Mason were spending time together. Neither party publicly commented on the nature of their relationship.
Malaysia revealed on an episode of Basketball Wives: LA that her husband had been unfaithful. During the episode, she did not disclose the identity of the alleged person involved. Although Jannero was present during the revelation, he did not respond to the claim on the show.
Following the episode, fans noted that Malaysia had stopped being seen with her close friend Bambi, leading to online speculation that Bambi might have been involved in the alleged affair. However, no substantiated evidence supported this, and neither Jannero nor Bambi offered any public comment.
Before becoming known through her marriage and television career, Malaysia had some exposure in the entertainment industry. She appeared in the music video for Ludacris’s song "Splash Waterfalls." While her participation in the video has been discussed in media reports, it remains part of her early career rather than her personal life narrative.
Throughout the separation, social media posts fluctuated between conflict and cooperation. At times, Malaysia and Jannero appeared to criticize each other through posts and captions, while at other times they maintained that they were working toward an amicable settlement.
Details regarding prenuptial agreements or finalized legal terms have not been publicly disclosed. Both Malaysia and Jannero have largely refrained from addressing the rumors or specific causes behind their split in the media, leaving much of the public narrative based on speculation rather than official statements.
