Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine and Megan Thee Stallion attends 40/40 Club Celebrates 18-Year Anniversary With Star-Studded Event at 40 / 40 Club on Aug. 28, 2021 in New York City.
Shareif Ziyadat/GI for 40/40 ClubPardison Fontaine took to social media on Tuesday to firmly deny any rumors of trouble in paradise with Megan Thee Stallion.
Gossip started circulating that the couple could be on the outs after the Something for Thee Hotties rapper had removed any trace of her longtime beau on social media — one-year anniversary gifts included — opting to fill her feed instead with graduation photos, her 2021 recap and teases of “Lick,” her upcoming collaboration with Shenseea that drops Friday. The Internet has also run wild with unverified abuse rumors, saying that Megan has physically lashed out at Fontaine when she’s drunk — rumors that Pardi shot down.
“Stop this cap nobody puttin hands on nobody …(At least not in that way ),” the Grammy-winning rapper/producer wrote in a message posted to his Instagram Story. “Been seein the break up rumors and was lettin y’all imaginations run ..but y’all gettin too crazy ….ain’t give n—as a story so they made one … we really been on it double time.”
He punctuated the since-deleted post with a fingers-crossed emoji and padlock.
Megan remains a steady fixture on Fontaine’s Instagram grid. In December, he shared a sweet, celebratory picture from the sidelines of her graduation ceremony at Texas Southern University, and weeks prior, he posted a photo of the couple together comparing himself and his famous girlfriend to a vintage snap of DMX and Aaliyah. (Meg commented “My baby” on the latter.)
Meanwhile, on Wednesday (Jan. 19), the “WAP” rapper shared a sneak peek at her upcoming Super Bowl ad for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos featuring some very random questions about sloth allergies.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
