He claimed that Tory and "8 oversized security" guards approached him while he was alone leaving a show. "Tory continues to ask w/ a broken ego why I didn’t dap him up, I go on to tell him.. I was a fan of him and didn’t understand him speaking on my business publicly in the past, because I don’t know him or ever met him until last night," he said, referring to Tory's comments about Pinkett Smith. "So when he spoke it caught me off guard because of his past actions, i assumed he didn’t like me, that’s all. Not to mention, with my history of health & condition just recently overcoming being paralyzed, my doctor directed me not to compromise my health while out on road and shake as less hands as possible due to corona, & monkeypox."
Alsina said no "disrespectful words were exchanged" but claimed that after Tory smoked "a blunt laced with cocaine obviously, (i heard the fizzle)" Tory sucker-punched him then hid behind his security and ran back into the building. "There was never a 'fight'! Simply an Assault," Alsina wrote, adding that he wasn't going to take it to the internet but Tory's "foul intent feeding falsities to blogs" pushed him to. "His ppl got the whole thing on camera, PUT. THE. FOOTAGE. OUT!!" For his part, Tory said the whole thing was a lie and that he was in the studio the whole night, TMZ reports.
In Prince Harry's much talked about memoir 'Spare,' he claims that his brother William, Prince of Wales, physically assaulted him during an argument in recent years. The brothers were having a heated discussion at Harry's London home prior to him stepping down from the royal family. The topic of the conversation was his wife, Meghan Markle. Harry claims that William described her as "rude" and "abrasive," which he saw as a mimicry of the narrative created by the British tabloids. The conversation quickly escalated to a shouting match. Insults were exchanged and Harry felt that William was losing control of his temper. He told him, "I can’t speak to you when you’re like this,” and went to the kitchen to get him a glass of water.
According to Harry, this is what followed: “He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.” He says that William initially urged him to fight back, but when Harry refused, William left the house. He came back a short time later "looking regretful, and apologised.”
Through the book, Harry describes how his relationship with his brother fell apart over his marriage to Meghan Markle. They had met that day to discuss “the whole rolling catastrophe” of their relationship and the situation with the press, but clearly, it only made things worse.
Sometimes tensions run high in Hollywood and the end result is not the prettiest. It is true that many stars have gotten into bar brawls, but did you know that many have also gotten into fistfights with fellow celebs? Maybe some of these famous faces have a low tolerance for frustration, get angry easily, or maybe they just have really big egos. Whatever the case, the truth is that many stars have escalated arguments and gotten physical with each other.
Usher and Chris Brown are longtime friends, but that didn't stop them from getting into it at Brown's birthday party in the wee hours of May 7, 2023, at the Skate Rock City roller rink. According to TMZ, Brown was yelling at Teyana Taylor for ignoring him, and when Usher tried to intervene to calm him down, Brown left the vicinity with his crew. Usher followed after them and disappeared behind a series of charter buses, only to reemerge with what appeared to be a bloody nose, according to TMZ, which cited an eyewitness.
Either the altercation wasn't as bad as it seemed or they buried the hatchet quickly, as both singers took to the stage at the Lovers & Friends music festival in Las Vegas later that same day without any evidence of injury. With Brown's track record of violent behavior towards people he allegedly loves, however, it's not hard to believe he'd swing at Usher.
