Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo has reportedly tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Ari Fletcher in a traditional Muslim wedding ceremony, according to a source close to the couple.
The Shade Room first reported the news on September 23, 2026, stating that the pair are “officially married.” Multiple entertainment outlets, including XXL, have since covered the exclusive, noting that the ceremony followed Islamic traditions. Some reports have described it as taking place inside a mosque. The exact date of the nuptials remains unclear, though Instagram activity strongly suggests it occurred around or just before Moneybagg Yo’s 35th birthday on September 22 while the couple was in Las Vegas.
Supporting evidence comes from social media posts shared by the couple. On September 23, Ari Fletcher posted a carousel of photos on Instagram celebrating Moneybagg’s birthday with the caption, “In every lifetime, I’d find you. Happy birthday my love.” The images include the pair sharing a kiss while dressed in all-white attire and flashing large, diamond-encrusted rings. Moneybagg Yo also shared birthday celebration photos with Fletcher from Las Vegas around the same time. Fans and media outlets have widely interpreted the white attire and ring photos as likely coming from the wedding ceremony itself.
Moneybagg Yo, whose legal name is Demario DeWayne White Jr., converted to Islam in 2018 after taking his Shahada with fellow rapper Kevin Gates. He has spoken publicly in the past about praying five times a day, fasting during Ramadan, and the personal discipline his faith has brought him. A traditional Muslim ceremony aligns with his longstanding religious practice.
The couple has been in an on-and-off relationship since late 2019. They first met at a mall and have weathered public breakups, including a split in early 2021 tied to infidelity, before reconciling. Fletcher, an entrepreneur and influencer who shares a son with rapper G Herbo, has previously referred to Moneybagg as her “husband” in a February 2026 livestream. Moneybagg has also called her his “Zawja” (Arabic for wife) on social media.
In June 2026, during interviews around the BET Awards, Fletcher confirmed the couple was engaged and revealed plans for an “official” wedding in May 2027. She said she hoped to combine a destination celebration with a traditional ceremony so more family and friends could attend, while admitting she felt both excited and nervous about the milestone.
As of September 24, 2026, neither Moneybagg Yo nor Ari Fletcher has publicly confirmed the marriage themselves. XXL reported that it had reached out to the rapper’s team for comment. The Shade Room’s report remains the primary source for the claim that a traditional Muslim ceremony has taken place.
If confirmed, the reported wedding would mark a significant new chapter for one of hip-hop’s most closely watched couples after nearly seven years together. A larger public celebration still appears to be planned for 2027 based on Fletcher’s earlier statements.
