Chris Brown Sued By Security Guard Involved In Alleged Backstage Brawl, Fans React

by

Chris Brown was recently sued for upwards of $50 million. Overall, this lawsuit was also levied against none other than Yella Beezy. With the 11:11 Tour ongoing, Brown was accused of having four men beaten up backstage. As the story goes, the men were invited to VIP although once Brown recognized them, he allegedly had his guards go after them. Now, Brown is being hit with a second lawsuit in regards to the situation, although this one is from a security guard.

According to TMZ, Frederick R. Overpeck claims he was a security guard working backstage during the time of the alleged brawl. The 58-year-old says he ended up with a cracked vertebra and a messed up hip all because he tried to diffuse the situation. As he explains, one of Brown’s team members punched and kicked him during the ordeal. He also went on to describe the entire scene as some sort of “prison yard beat down.” Needless to say, some strong words indeed.

This is yet another setback for Brown on what has otherwise been a pretty successful tour. As fans explained over on The Neighborhood Talk, this is a concerning pattern. “It’s y’all defending him over this 58yo doing his job. Wild times,” one person wrote. “His fans just like the Barbs and the Beyhive. They don’t see no wrong in this man,” said another. Meanwhile, many of his fans were quick to defend him, claiming that these stories are being planted because his tour is doing well.

Sneako’s Teeth Get Broken In By Security Guard At AFPAC Event

by

Sneako suffered a chipped tooth after a security guard punched him in the face during the America First Political Action Conference in Detroit over the weekend. In one clip circulating on social media, Sneako appears to knock the security guard’s hat off, which prompts him to dive at him into a crowd of people. Afterward, the streamer explained what went down.

“Smile for me, man. This was the security guard at this event,” the person filming him said. Sneako responded: “The guy that shut off the speech to go play his music, I just got rocked in the face. But I’m a non-violent person.” Another person added: “Yeah, man, we’ll take you through the legal necessary ways we’ve got to do,” while one more said: “We should probably press charges now.” It’s unclear whether he actually followed through with filing a police report.

Security Guard Jumps Into The Crowd

Afterward, Sneako hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to address the incident. “Security guard sabotaged the event and turned off the mic,” he said. “He started playing music and taunting the guests. He punched me and fell over. Chipped tooth. No big deal.” When one fan shared their support in the replies, Sneako wrote back: “If a UFC champion and a jumping superman man punch can’t knock me down I don’t know what can. Im good bro.” Other fans had more mixed responses to the incident. One user wrote: “He’d maul you if people weren’t there to help. Stop playing victim and keep your hands to yourself next time because you could really get hurt.” Check out Sneako’s comments on the situation below.

Sneako Speaks Out After Getting Punched

The incident comes after Twitch recently reinstated the streamer following his ban, last year. Despite that move, he’s still unable to post on YouTube. More recently, he’s been posting content on the platform, Rumble. Be on the lookout for further updates on Sneako on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West Tries To Justify Firing Security Guard Over Dreadlocks

by

Kanye West is arguing that his decision to fire Benjamin Deshon Provo was justifiable after the former security guard sued him, earlier this year. Provo claims West let him go for refusing to shave his dreadlocks after the Yeezy mogul and his own manager, John Hicks, demanded he do so. He previously worked at Donda Academy and Sunday Service events as well as at a Yeezy warehouse in 2021.

“Defendants are informed and believe, and based on such information and belief allege that Defendants were justified in doing any and/or all of the acts alleged in the Complaint,” Ye’s lawyers argued in response to the claims, as caught by In Touch Weekly. In turn, they want a California judge to dismiss the case.

As for Provo’s lawsuit, his attorney argued that “Hicks approached Plaintiff and stated, ‘Kanye said, ‘Tell the one with the dreads to shave his head or he is fired.’ Plaintiff refused to shave his head, and as a result thereof, his employment was terminated.” Provo is also accusing West of allegedly discriminating against Black employees and expressing “negative beliefs associated with prominent Black leaders.” For instance, he claims West banned books by Martin Luther King Jr. from the school. Provo and his team further claimed: “Kanye and members of his management team subjected Provo and other Black employees to less favorable treatment than their white counterparts. Specifically, Kanye frequently screamed at and berated Black employees, while in contrast, he never so much as raised his tone of voice toward white staff.”

Provo is just one of several of West’s former employees filing civil cases against him. Others have claimed Donda Academy wouldn’t allow students to go outside, use chairs, and much more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Sexyy Red Snaps At “Rent-A-Cop” For Walking In Front Of Her Photo Shoot

by

A new video of Sexyy Red just hit the internet that is grabbing the attention of fans and haters alike. In the clip, she’s just trying to take some photos on what looks like a sidewalk but gets interrupted. “Walk behind, you see I’m taking a picture,” the rapper says to a security guard who is walking down the street. Unfortunately for her, he ignores that request and walks right in front of the camera. Red doesn’t really seem to appreciate that and keeps talking to him well after he’s walked past.

“I don’t care about you. Security guard, get your a*s whooped out here on god,” Sexyy Red responds after he walks between her and the camera. “Fake police. Rent-a-cop. You don’t walk in front of my picture,” she concludes as she returns to posing.

NBA Youngboy’s Security Guard Explains Why He Didn’t Stop Foolio

by

A few years ago, NBA Youngboy had a notorious incident where Florida rapper Foolio and his group pulled up on him. Various different perspectives on the altercation emerged for weeks afterward. But one person’s perspective is only now coming out. That’s Youngboy’s former security guard who talked about the incident in a recent podcast appearance. In the clip, he explains that he saw the confrontation coming as it was about to unfold. He gives two different explanations for why he didn’t intervene on Youngboy’s behalf.

The first reason given is a pretty simple one that most people will relate to, he wasn’t being paid at the time. “I was off the clock, so I sit down and just watch,” he says in the interview which elicits a hilarious response. He also elaborates on how part of him wanted to give both rappers the opportunity to act as gangster as they pretend to be in their music. “Sometimes you gotta give it to them since they talk to street. And they sometimes try to apply that to the business and I’m not with that.” Check out the full interview clip below.

Beyoncé’s Fans Go Wild Over Her Long-Time Security Guard, Julius, She Reacts: Watch

by

The RENAISSANCE World Tour is off to an undeniably successful start so far, with two shows down and dozens more still to come. Beyoncé began last week with a performance in Stockholm, followed by one in Brussels just a few days ago. The former’s biggest moments included the audience impressing the mother of three with their own “Love On Top” vocals and Jay-Z applauding a random couple’s engagement alongside Tyler Perry. As for her most recent performance, it seems Bey’s long-time bodyguard, Julius, stole some of her spotlight during the concert.

In a clip that’s circulating online, the security staffer stands beside the stage, ready and willing to protect his client by any means. As the vocalist walks out on the stage in her beautiful white gown, the section of patrons in front of Julius catches her attention, seemingly because Beyoncé thought they were cheering for her. Rather, they were gassing up her employee, who appeared somewhat embarrassed by the entire scene. In response, the performer let out a subtle smile, as seen in the video below, before getting back to work.

“Julius looked back at Beyoncé like ‘[I don’t know] why they saying my name- I…,” one Twitter user joked along with a reaction video. “Not Julius about to be put on probation because Beyoncé ain’t liking him getting the attention,” another person laughed.

Elsewhere, others shared different videos of Bey’s #1 security guard in action, seemingly ready to fight off even a robot on stage should its arms get out of pocket. He hasn’t appeared to have to fight off any wild fans quite yet, though we’re still early in, and could see anything as Queen B travels through Europe and back to North America in the coming months.

6ix9ine’s Bodyguard Wants To Fight His Attackers For $10K: “If You Lose You Die”

by

Despite the amount of public scrutiny he faced since his release from prison, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s been roaming around without security. It’s been a point of pride, especially after he was labeled as a snitch. However, the need for a bodyguard became evident on Tuesday when he was jumped at a gym in Florida. Since then, the rapper’s remained quiet. However, it sounds like his bodyguard is fed up with the narrative surrounding his client.

Per XXL, his security guard, Bam Bam issued lengthy statement on Instagram where he addressed a few things. For one, he made it seem as though 6ix9ine is doing well and was hardly injured during the melee. Still, it seems like his motive was to explain why his crew of security guards is the best in Miami. “First of all thanks for the free promo I need it but the whole city know how I move n if any of my guys put hands on somebody, they ain’t gone move, let alone go f*ck b*tches all vixens like 6ix9ine just did,” he wrote. However, then he accused the other individuals of having “pillow fists.”

6ix9ine Security Guard Speaks

After bashing the attackers, he clarified rumors that a man named Bullet Guzman, who many believed to be a suspect, had nothing to do with the matter. “Me n @bullet_guzman spoke he say it ain’t him watch the video n it ain’t him…N i don’t beat people up at LA Fitness, we do it for real,” he added. However, it seems like he hopes that the individuals who jumped 6ix9ine will step up and take up his challenge to fight him at once.

“So these guys in the video 3 n 4 counting camera guy,” he wrote. “4 vs 1 y’all weak ass bitches against me.” The wager? $10K or death. “You win I pay you $10,000 n if you lose you die,” he wrote. “There will be no ref… CLAIM IT GANGSTAS.” At this point, 6ix9ine hasn’t chimed in on the assault, though we expect that his security guard will likely be by his side when he shares his story. We’ll keep you posted if this fight ever goes down.

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Missing” Guard Said To Be At FIFA World Cup, Other Security Denies Rumour

by

A new week is upon us, which means we have more updates from the courtroom housing Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s trial. Last week ended with a serious shock. Reports that the Houston native’s ex-bodyguard, Justin Edison, had mysteriously disappeared ahead of his testimony began circulating online.

“We recently learned that Justin Edison went missing right before he was scheduled to appear in court,” attorney Alex Spiro told The Shade Room. The rapper’s ex-employee was due to give testimony last Friday (December 16). He was going to say that the Canadian artist gave him an apology for the shooting, according to the prosecution.

Initially, reports said the LAPD was launching an investigation regarding Edison’s whereabouts. However, TMZ shot those rumours down, though they have no new information on his location.

Thankfully, Media Take Out has come through with answers for us. According to their sources, Thee Stallion’s former bodyguard has himself a new gig – all the way in Qatar. Presently, he’s working as personal security for a “very important person” (who wishes to remain anonymous) attending the FIFA World Cup.

Of course, the games officially ended yesterday (December 18), but that doesn’t mean Edison will be back in the US in time to testify. He apparently has plans to “continue his [current] security gig” until his client is home, safe and sound.

The outlet’s insider believes he won’t make it back until this coming Thursday, at which time the Lanez trial may be wrapped. Photos uploaded to @prime_security214 on Instagram show Edison (thought to be second from left) with a group of other staff. “Eating with a few good men,” the caption reads.

After the FIFA rumours began circulating, internet sleuths left comments on the Prime Security IG page. “Y’all this Meg security guard that’s ‘missing’ chile…” one of them reads.

Making a post of their own to address the situation, the account owner wrote, “Before you come on my page or comment on any of my posts know the faces and have the right person. Clowns like this, their mom should’ve swallowed them instead of having you. #PlayWithSomethingSafer.”

At this time, it remains unclear if Justin Edison’s whereabouts are known, or if he will testify. Check back in with HNHH later for more updates on Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s trial.
