JASMINE GUY'S STUNNING DAUGHTER

Guy is the proud mom of Imani Duckett, whom she shares with former husband Terrence Duckett.

When the couple divorced in 2008, Guy moved to her hometown of Atlanta with her young daughter and proceeded to raise her on her own.

JASMINE GUY'S MOST CHALLENGING ROLE EVER

For Guy, raising her daughter is easily the most challenging and difficult task she ever took on - but also the most rewarding.

“I started to pray, ‘God, please just don’t let me get in the way of who she is supposed to be,'” she revealed.

BALANCING MOTHERHOOD WITH HER PROFESSIONAL LIFE

The prolific entertainer had more than enough on her plate. Apart from raising a little girl on her own, Guy also managed a diverse career which included TV shows like “Fame,” and films like Spike Lee’s “School Daze.” In the 90s she even released an R&B album.

For years rumors have circulated that Guy was suffering from Lupus

FOLLOWING IN HER MOM'S FOOTSTEPS

Imani seems to take after her famous mom in more than just her stunning looks.

The teen took her first steps in the performance arts in the Atlanta play “Serial Black Face” in 2016 and showed that she has a definite flair for acting.

It's clear that Guy has done a great job raising her, and Imani is definetly a fresh face to watch out for over the next few years. She may just outshine her famous mom.

The 57-year-old celebrity has finally addressed the issue publicly:

“Had a great birthday. I DON’T HAVE LUPUS. NEVER DID. DONT WORRY! Bad rumor,” she said.
