Dr Disrespect Admits He Was Messaging A Minor

by

Dr Disrespect was abruptly banned from Twitch back in June of 2020. Overall, it was a pretty shocking day on the internet. The famous streamer seemed perturbed on his stream and his final minutes were chilling, to say the least. However, Twitch nor the creator disclosed the reason for the ban. Recently, the alleged reasons for the ban came to light after a former Twitch employee claimed Dr. Disrespect had been texting a minor on the Twitch whispers platform.

After days of anticipation, a report was released confirming the allegations. Subsequently, Dr Disrespect took to Twitter with a message for his fans. As you will see, he admitted to texting a minor. However, he claims that while the messages were at time teetering towards being inappropriate, it never truly went anywhere. “Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes.” Dr. Disrespect wrote. “Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more. Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual.

Dr Disrespect Comes Clean

[…] I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement. Let me be clear, it was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges have ever been brought against me.” He subsequently went on to say that he does not deserve to be called a predator or a pedophile. However, his admission hasn’t exactly given fans a reason not to do that. If you look, there are plenty of memes and names being thrown at the streamer.

Overall, this could very well be the end of his career. Although there still seems to be a solid amount of fans willing to look past this.

Mos Def Might Have To Send Tour Money To His Child’s Mother

by

Mos Def is gearing up for a sizeable tour this summer alongside R&B legend Erykah Badu. Unfortunately for Mos Def, he might not get to see any of the profits from their shows together. According to court papers obtained by The New York Post, the money from the tour may have to go to artist Karima Sorel. Sorel and Mos Def have a child together and he reportedly owes over $88,000 in child support.

Sorel is allegedly suing various companies associated with the tour including Ticketmaster and Live Nation in an attempt to get the money she’s owed paid out from the tour. This isn’t the first time the pair have had issues as it related to child support payments. A few years ago a court ruling forced Mos Def to cover Sorel’s attorney fees when it came to light that he consistently failed to pay child support. That precedent may loom large over future court proceedings involving the two.

Mos Def and Erykah Badu’s tour kicks off in Texas on June 11th. The pair will tour for a month and a half before returning to Texas to close the tour in July. Mos Def most recently released new music alongside longtime collaborator Talib Kweli as Black Star with last year’s No Fear Of Time. The album was released exclusively to the podcast network Luminary which left many fans unable to hear it. To promote the album the pair played two of the songs from it live on Saturday Night Live.

Fittingly, another place you can hear from Mos Def this summer is on a different podcast network, Audible. A few months ago the platform announced a Hip Hop 50th anniversary series coming this summer. Alongside Mos Def the project also seeks to celebrate the contributions made to rap music by artists like Snoop Dogg and Lil Kim. Tell us your thoughts on Mos Def’s upcoming summer tour in the comments below.
