Lastonia Leviston is 46 years old. She was born on March 11, 1979, which means she turns 47 in less than three weeks. Most articles still describe her age with the loosely rounded phrase “early to mid-40s” — but two independent sources lock in 1979, and neither has been cited together until now.

The Birth Year Most Articles Get Wrong
The Florida Residents Directory — a public records database — lists Leviston’s birth year as 1979. That figure gets stronger when you cross-reference it with EURweb’s live courtroom reporting from July 10, 2015. Their reporter on the ground that day noted she was 36 years old as the jury read the verdict. A woman turning 36 after March 11 in 2015 was born in 1979. Two sources, no overlap, same answer.
Several AI-generated blogs have fabricated dates ranging from “September 25, 1981” to “January 1, 1980.” None of those are supported by any verifiable record.
Rick Ross, Co-Parenting, and the Daughter They Share
Leviston began dating rapper Rick Ross — real name William Leonard Roberts II — around 1999 or 2000, years before he had a single record on the charts. They separated in May 2003 and never married. Their daughter, Toie Roberts, was born on March 17, 2002.
The split did not end the relationship entirely. Both parents stayed involved in Toie’s life, and Leviston still lives in a Miami home owned by Ross. She described the arrangement on Netflix’s W.A.G.s to Riches, sourced from People Magazine’s coverage of the show:
“It’s so difficult because I still reside in a home that my baby father, Rick, owns. I feel like I’m in a luxury prison, almost.”
She also told the show, of their early relationship: “I was his Lil’ Kim and he was my Biggie.”
The 50 Cent Lawsuit: A Case That Rewrote Privacy Law Standards
In 2008, Leviston filmed a private video with her then-boyfriend Maurice Murray. When the relationship ended, Murray did not simply hand the footage over. Leviston stated in a 2025 Complex interview that Murray sold the tape to 50 Cent out of bitterness after their breakup.
On or before March 12, 2009, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson III posted a 13-minute edited version of the video on his commercial website. He narrated it under the alter ego “Pimpin’ Curly,” deliberately blurring Murray’s face while leaving Leviston’s fully visible. Court documents confirmed he called graphic attention to her body, labeled her a pornstar and a prostitute, and used the footage as a direct attack in his public feud with Rick Ross.
Leviston filed a civil lawsuit in 2010, initially seeking $15 million in damages.
The Trial Timeline
| Date | What Happened |
|---|---|
| July 10, 2015 | Manhattan jury deliberates for just 1 hour 10 minutes — awards $5 million ($2.5M invasion of privacy + $2.5M emotional distress) |
| July 13, 2015 | 50 Cent files Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Connecticut — fifteen minutes before the punitive damages hearing was scheduled to begin |
| July 24, 2015 | Same jury adds $2 million in punitive damages — total verdict: $7 million |
Leviston’s legal team, represented by Pullman & Comley, filed an emergency motion to push the punitive phase through despite the bankruptcy filing. The motion succeeded.
After the second verdict, Leviston told reporters outside the courthouse: “I’ve been served justice by the courts and vindicated by God. I hope he learned a lesson.”
What She Actually Collected — The Number Most Reports Get Wrong
The jury awarded $7 million. What Leviston actually received was $6 million, confirmed by both the Hartford Courant and Rolling Stone from court filings.
During the Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization, Leviston agreed to accept $6 million as a lump-sum settlement, reduced from the $7 million verdict. That debt was classified as non-dischargeable, meaning it could not be erased by the bankruptcy process. By 2017, 50 Cent had paid off the entire reorganization plan early, using personal funds plus $13.65 million recovered from a separate legal malpractice suit he won against his former lawyers.
A claim that Leviston only received $1.8 million circulated on a podcast from Tia Kemp, another mother of Rick Ross’s children, amid an ongoing public dispute between the two women. No court record or credible outlet supports that figure.
Her Business Portfolio and Life Right Now
Leviston built her Miami business presence from the ground up after the lawsuit concluded. Florida’s Sunbiz public business registry confirms the timeline:
- Instatique Corporation trademark filed: February 1, 2017
- Instatique and Suites LLC formed: December 13, 2017
- Instatique Boutique opened: 2018 (per Yelp) — a high-end women’s fashion boutique in Miami
She also runs Insta Hair, a single-donor hair extensions brand, and holds a stake in Skin Fitness Therapy, a skincare service that reportedly brings in around $70,000 a year. She holds a Florida real estate license and has worked at Allure Realty alongside W.A.G.s to Riches co-star Sharelle Rosado.
On the family side, daughter Toie is now 23 and the CEO of Ashanti Beauty, a cosmetics company. Toie welcomed her first child in 2022 and a second in 2023, making Leviston a grandmother of two. In 2024, Leviston’s mother passed away during the filming of W.A.G.s to Riches. She spoke about it on the Jess A Couple Things podcast:
“When my mom passed away, I felt like if I had given up, I would be letting her down because she was my biggest cheerleader.”
The Short Answer for 2026
Lastonia Leviston’s age is 46. Her birthday is March 11, 1979, confirmed by the Florida Residents Directory and independently backed by a live court reporter who placed her at 36 during the 2015 trial. She turns 47 on March 11, 2026 — three weeks from today.
The woman behind the name has a $6 million lawsuit victory on the record, a running fashion business in Miami, two grandchildren, and a Netflix series that brought her story to a global audience for the first time. Whatever people knew her for before, the résumé looks quite different now.
