VH1 Black Ink’s Ceaser: “I’m No Abuser”

Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2021 05 25 at 11.47.42 AM

 Founder of VH1’s Black Ink Crew Ceaser Emanuel held a press conference on May 20, 2021 in New York, NY to address the lawsuit he recently filed to end defaming statements made on social media by his daughter’s mother Crystal Torres. Ceaser was joined by his attorney Walter Mosley of Los Angeles-based law firm Mosley and Associates, specializing in the representation of high-profile celebrities.

Ceaser Emanuel is a tattoo artist and star of VH1’s Black Ink Crew (BIC). Even as a significant American reality television personality and a businessman, he still works as a talented tattoo artist and the owner of his NY-based tattoo shop, “Harlem,” which is featured on the Black Ink Crew show. Ceaser has touched millions of people with his work, garnering over 2.4 million followers on Instagram.

The BIC lead only sued Crystal Torres for repeating and elaborating the claim that their 17-year-old daughter Cheyenne made in January that her father pulled her out of the shower and beat her. Ceaser has explained that the statement is a lie and that he merely disciplined his daughter by taking away some of the things he bought for her. Now he’s taking legal action, filing a lawsuit for defamation against Crystal for publicly asserting that he was a child abuser.

“I am concerned for my daughter Cheyenne; her mother has corrupted her. I would do anything in my power to have my daughter back in my life. She is the sole heir to my Black Ink empire. I am nothing without her, and I miss her by my side. I have been dealing with this family matter for a while. And every time I feel like I am getting somewhere, I am being shut down and pulled away from speaking with my daughter directly…Everything I’ve built has been for my daughter,” Ceaser explains.

Crystal went on a social media rant on Monday sharing the “lies” she claims Ceaser is spreading. According to his lawsuit, Ceaser says that’s just one example of her defaming him, which he says ruined his rep and cost him a lot of money. The suit states that many of Crystal’s IG posts and interviews are inflammatory and false. Ceaser explains that he provided Crystal a letter from the GA Fulton County Dept. of Family & Children Services clearing him of any abuse charges. Despite the evidence provided, she has continued to smear his name on various online platforms, which resulted in lost endorsement deals and having to put his massive VH1 reality show on pause due to an internal investigation. Additionally, it halted his volunteer work with the community and underserved kids as people falsely assumed he was guilty of abuse.

Soulja Boy Sued By Ex-GF For Abuse and Sexual Assault

Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2021 01 22 at 8.49.16 AM

According to a report from TMZ, Soulja Boy is being sued by a woman who claimed to be his personal assistant and ex-girlfriend, accusing him of sexual assault and abuse.

A woman only identified as Jane Doe filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, alleging that the SODMG general raped and assaulted her for two years. Doe admits that she moved in with the rapper in December 2018, but by the next month, Doe claims that Soulja Boy became violent, pushing her out of the car and made her walk five miles. She also claims that Soulja, whose real name is DeAndre Way, assaulted her for the first time in February 2019, but paid her $1,000 after apologizing.

Jane Doe is suing for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, and infliction of emotional distress.

Doe alleges that on multiple occasions she was locked in a room with no mattress, food, or water. He even allegedly told her, “I should’ve killed you.”

Doe alleges that sexual assaults would occur about twice a day, but after one violent occurrence in August of last year, she moved out. When she returned to retrieve her belongings, she was allegedly raped again.

She also claims that she was not paid for most of the 18 months she worked for Way.

“Way’s treatment of our client, as an employee and as a person who deserves respect, has traumatized and filled her with fear,” said attorney Neama Rahmani. “His abuse imprisoned her physically, mentally, and emotionally. When she mustered the courage to flee, he impoverished her. His exploitation severely hampered our client’s ability to re-establish herself in the workplace and in society. We believe he should be held accountable.”

Sheck Wes Tries to Defend Himself After Domestic Violence Allegations

Leave a comment

There is no question that Sheck Wes was a breakout star in 2018. His single “Mo Bamba” is triple platinum, top ten Billboard hit. The song also landed the Mudboy rapper an opening spot on Travis Scott’s Astroworld Tour. 2019 has not lived up to the previous year’s success. His ex-girlfriend, Justine Skye, took to Twitter to accuse to rapper of stalking and domestic abuse.

Apparently, Justine Skye was walking with her current boyfriend, Goldlink, and some friends before they were attacked, while Sheck Wes was in a nearby getaway car. This incident sparked Skye to bring up previous occurrences of Wes’ alleged abuse.

“You’re pathetic sheck and you beat women. You hit your girl before me and you’ll do it again,” said Skye. The 23-year-old singer also posted a video that shows Sheck Wes hoping a gate.

The 20-year-old rapper continued to deny the allegations and claims to have kept quiet for a reason.

“I’ve chosen to remain silent until now out of respect for actual victims of abuse,” he said. “But I cannot stand by while lies are repeatedly told about me. I never hit or beat any women and I did not beat up or jump anybody.”

He later clarifies the video of him hoping the fence in a later tweet.
