‘Love & War’ took on a new meaning for performers at the recent Los Angeles stop of Tamar Braxton‘s current tour in commemoration of her breakthrough album’s 10th anniversary.

As previously reported, reality star-rapper Chrisean Rock was among Friday night’s (November 10) special guest stars but apparently missed her cue for stage time due to a misunderstanding that ld allegedly led her to assault Braxton’s background singer James Wright Chanel.

The incident is said to have caused Chanel’s hospitalization, rendering him unable to perform.

Sending Rock’s name to the top of Twitter’s trending topics list all weekend long, the embattled starlet subtly addressed the hoopla through various posts on social media before ultimately shutting down her handles due to the drama.

Now, after keeping silent for days, Tamar has entered the chat to speak her piece.

Thanks to their respective high-profile relationships, business ventures, and social media followership, it’s arguable the City Girls are at their apex on the celebrity meter.

For those reasons and others, heads were scratched when Yung Miami and JT‘s long-awaited tertiary studio album – the October 20-released ‘Real A** Wh*res (RAW)‘ – debuted real low on the Billboard 200 thanks to reported sales of only 10,000 copies its first week.

In fact, the project – their first since 2020’s ‘City on Lock‘ – arrived at #117 and marks their lowest debut on the hitlist to date.

While some (like DJ Akademiks) have made headlines for their controversial opinion about the cause of the LP’s nonperformance, others – like rapper/reality star/podcast host Joe Budden – suggests sabotage is happening behind the scenes.
