That’s a ‘rap’ on Felton marriage

- By TARA PALMERI tpalmeri@nypost.com

The marriage between Knicks point guard Raymond Felton and his beautiful wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton, crumbled less than 19 months after they wed — and hiphop star Fabolous apparently knew there was trouble in paradise.

The “Can’t Deny It” rapper hinted that Felton, 29, was playing the field behind RaymondoFe­lton’s back, in his song, “Cuffin Season” with lyrics about promiscuou­s women he implied Felton had to end relationsh­ips with.

“4 Celtics, Knicks guard, you know Felton,” he sang. “This n in At lanta AirTran her, no Delta. Been naughty all year trying to end it nicely, Summer hoes turning into winter wifeys.”

RaymondoFe­lton, 26 — a Cornell graduate and Fordham law student — filed for a divorce on Feb. 18 almost two months after Fabolous’ song was released at the end of December 2013. She has not publicly accused her estranged husband of infidelity.

They were married near RaymondoFe­lton’s hometown in Wake Forest, NC, on July 28, 2012 after dating for a few years.

Felton professed his love in their wedding video: “Beautiful as ever, from the first day I met her. I’m going to take care of her. You have my word. I promise you. No matter what it is, I’m always there for you. I love you.”

Despite being married to a beautiful brunette, Felton has been regarded as a “flirt” and a “ladies man,” friends told The Post.

“He’s an NBA player. He flirts and stuff,” a friend said. “When you’re in a position like that you could get 10 girls per week.”

A rep for Fabolous didn’t return calls for comment.
