Chrisean Rock has been served with a lawsuit by Tamar Braxton‘s friend, James Wright Chanel, after Blueface‘s baby mama posted her location live on social media.
Radar Online is reporting that a process server officially filed the affidavit of service against the ex-athlete on May 4, when she was served at Cathedral High School in Los Angeles.
Rock previously posted that she’d be at the high school for football practice, making it easy for Wright to dispatch the process server.
The reality star now has a limited amount of time to file an answer to the lawsuit, but it’s unclear if she’ll do so.
Wright Chanel first sued Chrisean Rock back in February of this year, alleging that Rock assaulted him following a Tamar Braxton show in Los Angeles last November.
The plaintiff, who is a backup singer for Braxton, claims he was sent to the hospital with two broken teeth and cuts on his face, according to legal documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times. This suit is in addition to a criminal case filed against Rock at the top of the year for the same incident.
“She hit him multiple times in the face for no reason at all. We were surprised that she was able to leave the facility that night,” Wright’s attorney said. “She had on rings that were pretty much equivalent to brass knuckles.”
The fight reportedly stemmed from the reality television star being upset that she wasn’t allowed to rap at the performance. The suit claims that in addition to the assault, Rock used a homophobic slur directed at Wright Chanel.
Soon after the allegations first surfaced in November, Chrisean Rock declared her innocence, noting that there’s no footage of the attack.
“Why try to lie and say nobody told you she was about to perform?” her friend, who was present at the show, said during an Instagram Live. “Why did she have the mic, why did they have me give the DJ her music? Like, make it make sense. Why even tell her to pull up and get on stage and all that?”
The 23-year-old then chimed in and said: “N-ggas is evil nowadays and they so old and washed up, they don’t know what to do. That’s the last resort. So, good luck with that though. You feel me?
“I’m not here to fuck people over. Fuck that. I left my son at home to get embarrassed? And then they tried to lie about the embarrassment and say I hit somebody.”
She continued: “Did I hit somebody or get embarrassed? It would have been a video! […] They lying and shit, don’t got no police report. Just clout chasing.”
Busta Rhymes is honoring his late friend D’Angelo in a truly moving way. The rapper released a heartfelt tribute track titled “Magic,” marking one of his most emotional releases in years. The song celebrates the neo-soul legend D’Angelo, who sadly passed away earlier this month after a private battle with cancer. Over the smooth, soulful backdrop of D’Angelo’s “One Mo’ Gin” from his 2000 classic Voodoo, Busta reflects deeply, sharing raw and powerful emotions through his storytelling.
Throughout the seven-minute piece, Busta takes listeners on a journey through his 34-year friendship with D’Angelo. He recalls their early sessions with A Tribe Called Quest and describes the lasting connection they built over the decades. Instead of simply celebrating the music, Busta pays homage to the person behind it. He describes D’Angelo as a rare, once-in-a-generation artist who “never needed a co-sign” and “touched the souls of the people and everything between.”
During an interview with Okayplayer, Busta called D’Angelo “a godsend,” reflecting on his influence across R&B and hip-hop. “The Earth shifted when D came to do music,” he said, a statement that perfectly sums up D’Angelo’s impact. Anyone familiar with Brown Sugar, Voodoo, or Black Messiah knows his legacy speaks volumes.
“Magic” feels like a conversation between two lifelong friends. Busta Rhymes gives fans an intimate look at a bond that helped shape decades of soul-infused hip-hop. The tributes pouring in since D’Angelo’s passing highlight not only his extraordinary artistry but also the love and respect he inspired among peers. Lauryn Hill expressed it beautifully, writing, “Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us.”
