Kiely Williams Continues Going At Chris Brown: “I Know His PR Team Is Mad”

by

Kiely Williams, best known as a member of the Cheetah Girls, continued to call out Chris Brown on Twitter, Friday night. The two artists have been going back and forth on social media for days. The interactions began when Williams criticized Chlöe Bailey for working with Brown, who has faced numerous allegations of abuse over the years. Brown fired back on his Instagram Story afterward.

“Let him come out with his own record—so genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN. He can’t so he wont. So what does he do?” she wrote when quote-tweeting Bailey. “He slowly creeps back into the mainstream by getting small nods for features on Black Women’s merit. Black women who are more talented, more worthy, but give him the okay.” She also added: “I am swatting the fucking air rn. Garbage.”

Williams’ Tweet

Brown fired back in a series of posts on his Instagram Story, starting with a selfie captioned, “The face I make right before I go all Team Breezy on the haters.” From there, he wrote: “Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken. The fact you think you have to speak negatively about me makes u look so lame…your life and career must suck right now..minding your business wouldve [sic] been best..but I guess you don’t have a business or a real job that makes u financially stable. I feel more embarrassed for you and your actual maturity.”

Later, Brown compared the response to his alleged actions to that of Blueface and Chrisean Rock: “If yall still hate me for a mistake I made as a 17 year old please kiss my whole entire ass! Im fucking 33! Im so tired of yall running wit this narrative..you weird ass nas are the same ones that tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the fuck out each other in front the world. But thats OK? It’s entertainment? All yall can suck my dick disrespectfully. Where are the cancel culture with these white artist that date underage women, beat the fuck out their wives, giving bitches AIDS, oh. That’s right..they are your buddies😏 No more fake love from me..stay out my way or get ran over simple as that. None of you and mean none of you nas can fuck wit me.”

On Friday night, one Twitter user wrote that Chris Brown is getting “pressed” while referring to Kiely Williams as a Cheetah Girl. “And not even one of the famous ones,” Williams’ joked in response before adding, “I know his PR team is mad,” in another tweet.

Naturi Naughton Addresses Kiely Williams Relationship On “The Breakfast Club”

by

Naturi Naughton recently addressed her relationship with Kiely Willams and Adrienne Bailon, who were all in the group 3LW. Recently, Williams trended on social media for a variety of headlines, including her claim of an entanglement with R&B group B2K. Moreover, Naughton spoke earnestly about her group mate Williams’ claim and about their past beef. As an incredibly popular group, they fell victim to industry pitfalls and internal conflict. Overall, Naughton seems appreciative of her time and experiences, even with all the pain and struggles she’s processed.

“Chile… bless her heart,” she responded to Charlamagne and company’s questions about Williams’ claim. Also, she denied that 3LW as a group involved themselves. “God bless her. I don’t talk to her at all, but that’s why I was saying it’s almost miraculous and amazing. Adrienne’s heart, and her spirt, and the growth. When people grow and you grow up, you start to be like, ‘Oh.’ We actually have a lot more in common and we actually struggled in the same way. We were children manipulated by adults. So the truth is, what’s the reason for hate at the end of the day? I’m happy for her and she’s happy for me.

“Somebody just posted today ‘I’m waiting for the 3LW documentary,’” she continued. “I’m like, ‘What more?’ I mean, there’s a lot to talk about, I’m actually starting to write a book about all the s**t I went through. I guess somebody will figure it out. Call me, I’m down. I’ve said all my truths. At this point, I’m excited to grow and move forward. Building new friendships, and healing some of that pain. The truth is that that was a very hurtful time. But in a way, I look back at it and I’m like, ‘That was pretty cool.’ I was going on tour with Destiny’s Child. I lived a good life.”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown recently blasted Kiely Williams for bringing up his history of abuse. In fact, she also chimed in on the Megan Thee Stallion and Drake beef, saying he should apologize to her. Regardless of her relationships with the rest of 3LW, it’s clear that a lot of grey areas are at play. Still, come back to HNHH for the latest on Naturi Naughton, Kiely Williams, and 3LW.

Chris Brown has been firing back at critics after fans piled onto Chloe Bailey for their upcoming collab. His history of domestic abuse led to criticism towards Chloe but it was Chris Brown that responded to everyone. Chris Brown’s spent the past few hours going in on Kiely Williams, who was among those who criticized him. However, he dragged celebrities, like Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen, as examples of individuals whose careers prospered, even after facing domestic abuse allegations.

In addition to Sheen and Gibson, Chris Brown pointed out how many people have tuned into the trainwreck that is Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s relationship. The Crazy In Love stars’ relationship trouble has spilled into the public eye, including their physical attacks on one another. “You weird ass n***as are the same ones ghat tune in every week to see Blueface and Chrisean beat the f*ck out each other in front of the world,” he wrote in response to Kiely Williams.

Blueface Responds To Chris Brown 

Blueface swiftly condemned Chris Brown’s comments but first, he shared the viral clip of 50 Cent responding to Floyd Mayweather calling out him, T.I. and Nelly. Blueface was rather cool and collected following Chris Brown’s comments. However, he stated that their situations aren’t similar at all. “I understand the frustration fool for me being in the situation. I ain’t even gonna trip on you because the message you’re trying to send is way off,” he said. “The bitch hit me, it’s funny. I hit her back, it’s fuck Blueface… but you gotta play the cards that you were dealt.”

Blueface went on to say that Chris Brown is trying to deflect the blame without holding himself accountable. “Only thing I disagree with is you posting all these random white people, and me and the bitch and trying to distract from your thing. You gotta stand on it, cuh. If you beat the bitch up, you beat the bitch up,” he said. Before he signed off, Blueface said that Chris Brown “beat up the wrong b*tch.” Check out Blueface’s response to Chris Brown above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Chris Brown Shades Kiely Williams After She Brings Up Abuse Past

by

Ever since Chlöe announced that her upcoming single would also feature a look from Chris Brown, the internet has been up in arms. Brown’s dedicated fans have long put his past behind them, but others haven’t been as forgiving. The singer has faced pushback throughout his career over his scandals. The domestic violence incident with Rihanna shifted their careers, and after Karrueche Tran received a restraining order after alleging domestic abuse and threats, Brown faced a new wave of backlash.

This time, Chlöe’s fans questioned her collaboration with Brown. One critic was Kiely Williams, former singer of the hit girl group 3LW. “Let him come out with his own record,” she wrote. “So genius, so captivating that it makes us all forget HE BEATS WOMEN. He can’t so he won’t. So what does he do?”

Her posts quickly circulated, and they weren’t lost on Brown. He addressed her in a lengthy response, but he also teased her during the process. “I’m getting kinda tired of Ya broken PROMITHIS PROMISTHIS,” he began. “Obviously you are at a point in your life where either you are very broke or broken. THE FACT you think you have to speak negatively about me makes u look so lame.”

“YOUR LIFE AND CAREER MUST SUCK RIGHT NOW. Minding your business WOULDNE been best. but I guess you don’t have a business or a real job that makes u financially stable. I feel more embarrassed for you and your actual maturity.” Then, he uploaded a photo of Williams with the words “Thop It.”

Later, Williams shared a cartoon meme showing one person facing off against the masses. “Yes, you are all wrong,” the drawing stated. Check it all out above and below.

Kiely Williams Says Drake Should Apologize To Megan Thee Stallion

by

Kiely Williams of R&B girl group 3LW just told Drake to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion, sending a shot via Twitter. Moreover, she responded to comments Drake recently made about artists who reach streaming milestones deserving bonuses. “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he wrote this week. “So feel free to send me a Lebron sized cheque I have enough dinner plates,” adding a laughing emoji and heart. Williams then responded to these comments via Twitter. “Oh f**k off,” she clapped back. “It’s something like 1000 streams = 1 album sale. Go to bed, Aubrey. And apologize to Meg. Better yet, delete that whole album.”

Moreover, the 36-year-old referred to Drake’s alleged shots aimed toward Megan Thee Stallion on his song “Circo Loco.” It’s from his collab tape with 21 Savage, Her Loss, and apparently references the Tory Lanez situation. “This b***h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion,” he rapped. “She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.” Many interpreted these bars as being about Megan, whom Tory Lanez shot in an altercation in July of 2020. Back when Drake dropped this bar, authorities hadn’t yet found Tory guilty of the crime.

Meanwhile, Meg herself addressed the diss, as she juggled her legal battle and album drop at the same time. It was certainly a lot to handle, and she didn’t hold back. “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol,” she tweeted. “N***as nor h**s EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts. I AM CLOUT B***H keep sucking my pussy…

“Stop using my shooting for clout b***h ass N***as!” she continued. “Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n***as especially RAP N***AS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.” For what it’s worth, since she tweeted this in November, no party has said that things smoothed out. Still, hopefully things got cleared up behind the scenes. However you may feel about Drake’s streaming comments, stay tuned to HNHH to see if the Meg apology comes anytime soon.

3LW’s Kiely Williams Claims She Had Sex With 3 Members Of B2K—At The Same Time

by

In news you didn’t expect to hear today (January 20), Kiely Williams is detailing her intimate moments with several members of B2K. In the early 2000s, Williams was a part of 3LW, a hit-making girl group that stormed the charts. Around the same time, B2K was also making major moves in the industry, and it makes sense that the two collectives crossed paths.

During an interview with producer Carlos King, Kiely revisited those days and revealed that she had sex with Fizz, J-Boog, and Raz B. King wanted to know if she ever dated Raz, and the singer answered, “Date is a loose word.”

“I wouldn’t give that definition,” she continued. “I think I said ‘entanglement.’ With all of them except for [Omarion].”

King couldn’t help but laugh at the admission, but that didn’t stop Williams from spilling her tea. “Everybody has their hoe days. Let them have ’em! We’ll look back on them days when we’re older and be like, ‘Yeah. I was out there thot, thot, thottin’!”

King further needed clarification and questioned if she slept with the three B2K singers at the same time.

“Only one time,” Williams answered. “That’s only a one-time thing.”

Fizz, Raz, and Boog haven’t responded to Williams’ confession, but that hasn’t stopped the internet from running wild with the news.
