Today brought with it news rap star Fabolous was officially charged with assaulting longtime girlfriend Emily Bustamante. Reportedly facing up to 10 years and thousands of dollars in fines if convicted on counts of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats (both in the third degree), the 40-year-old Grammy nominee learned of the charges just a week after turning himself in for the alleged abuse.
Like we reported here, Fab has been subject of widespread ridicule and criticism on social media after the story broke he “knocked Bustamante’s teeth out.”
Now, as the news continues to dominate headlines many fans and fellow artists alike are distancing from the ‘Holla Back’ hitmaker. Those who have publicly expressed support for him (in one way or the other), on the other hand, have been met with swift judgment from online communities. Case in point? Lil Kim & Lil Mo…
First, there’s Lil Mo. The songstress, who most famously cranked out the duets ‘4ever’ and ‘Superwoman’ with the rapper, came under fire when she took to Revolt TV recently to share her thoughts on his case.
Offering strong words of support and defense (saying she would ‘Olivia Pope the whole situation’ before letting someone take him down)
*****
Then, there’s Kim. The rapstress, who openly detailed her history with domestic violence with rapper ex-boyfriends Notorious B.I.G. & Mr. Papers (which she claims led to some of the surgery she’s had on her nose), was slammed for bringing Fab on stage during her weekend show at NYC’s Terminal 5.
The two, who trade bars on the Queen Bee’s latest single, ‘Spicy,’ shared the stage just hours after the shocking video of Fab hurling maniacal threats at the mother of his children.
See that performance here:
Don’t blame the artist. Blame the fans. Kim was booked for a paid gig before that incident occured. Let’s be real here…she would get sued if she backed out of the gig. Let’s talk about the hundreds of fans that were cheering Fab when he performed there that night (and this was after the news story had already occured). Lil’ Mo needs Fabulous to stay relevant. He brings her out on stage sometime and those are paid gigs for her. Her biggest song was featuring him too so she relies on him for relevancy.
That’s Kim’s friend for like 1,000 years.. lol wtf she’s supposed to just cut him off??? Smh Twitter users are idiots
They always rain on other artists even when the dude is an #ABUSER!! ???
Yes but all of you was raining down on Nicki Minaj, for being the sister of a p***, like she wasn’t supposed to question if the child was lying, and taker her word for it from the get-go and cut off her brother. some of you people are so biased and are the biggest hypocrites, and she wasn’t even supporting him like that but she got roast for being his sister.
??????????????
Say it again for those in the back! Not once did she try to defend her brother and it later came out that their mother was the one paying his fees and bailed him out yet these h*** blamed Nicki and acted she was the one molesting that girl. I never even saw anyone say they felt bad for the victim or even care that Jeleni was the actual r*****, only that Nicki was disgusting and kii kii that she was his sister.
The real ki is them slamming Kim and Mo while being fans of Chris Brown
