Here’s the scoop: Why weren’t charges pressed? No charges were pressed. Why the secrecy? The police. It’s odd, isn’t it? Why hide his face? Why conceal his identity, my friend? Cran Rock insists she never laid a finger on James R. Chanel. She argues, if she had, he’d surely display his bruised face. In fact, she alleges they’re all fabricating stories because Tamar Braxton’s tour is faltering and she’s desperate for attention. It’s like they’re clinging to relevance, huh? Quite frankly, it’s uncool, especially when their own careers are in question. The shade, folks, the shade. But let’s dive into this mess and decipher truth from fiction, and whether Chan Rock was framed.
During Tamar’s performance, Rock improvised into a microphone while Tamar Braxton sang “Love and War,” as seen in circulating videos. It’s baffling why Tamar would invite Cron on stage, especially when she seemed intoxicated, and it clearly wasn’t Cron’s forte. The result was a disaster. Later, Cran Rock was spotted with Tony Braxton and Tamar Braxton attempting to twerk, eliciting a telling expression from Tony. Yet, this mishap wasn’t the main event. Allegedly, chaos erupted backstage when CA reportedly assaulted James Wright, leaving him with a bloody nose and a chipped tooth. Cran addressed these accusations in a live stream the following day, refuting claims of attacking James and expressing frustration at the spread of false information. Subsequently, she announced her decision to deactivate all her social media accounts and change her phone number and address.
Cron received substantial support from her fans, signaling that something seems amiss in this narrative. One glaring point is James’s failure to display any visible injuries. This aligns with Cron’s assertion that Tamar might have exploited the situation for attention, especially considering the lack of buzz surrounding her tour until this incident surfaced. Tamar’s influence has undeniably waned since her “Braxton Family Values” days, potentially motivating her to seek attention through this controversy. Moreover, skeptics point out that James Wright’s response video also lacks any evidence of physical harm, further fueling doubts about the authenticity of the claims.
Let me just share this with you all, because everyone seems keen on spinning tales and presenting their versions of events, blah, blah, blah. Honestly, I was just minding my own business. It’s worth noting that James didn’t explicitly claim he was assaulted by CA. In another video where his face wasn’t shown either, James mentioned being attacked without provocation.
“I just want to clear the air here. Yes, this incident happened to me, and everyone keeps asking why it occurred. Well, there was no reason. I was attacked out of nowhere, and people keep advising me not to go live.”
But that’s not all. Tamar’s team insisted it did happen, and one team member, LaTroy Davis, stated that Rock showed up at the venue intoxicated, with 1,000 people reeking of marijuana, expecting to perform despite not being scheduled. “So, she was upset that she couldn’t perform. I wasn’t even aware she was a performer. And even if I had known, she wouldn’t have been allowed on stage, where everyone had put in so much effort.” So, you see, first off, if you watch the video, she was up there acting like a drunken fool.
LaTroy alleged that Rock engaged in a backstage altercation with James over a performance matter, resulting in Rock striking James in the face, causing him to bleed and chip a tooth. James reportedly required medical attention to stem the bleeding. LaTroy expressed determination to ensure Rock faces legal consequences for the attack. In a now-deleted Instagram post, LaTroy stated, “I want to inform you all that Cran, whom you’ve been praising, assaulted James Wright Chanel at Tamar’s concert tonight. James is hospitalized. I vow to pursue justice and see her behind bars. She’s despicable, and her life reflects that. She deserves every repercussion.” Despite not being directly involved, LaTroy exhibited intense anger.
When questions arose about the incident’s details and despite the absence of police involvement, Tamar’s tour manager asserted that Pan indeed assaulted James. However, attempts to address the matter with Novo’s security complicated the situation.
“On that day, there were 28 security guards from Novo present. Twenty-eight. I approached Novo’s head of security and urgently requested assistance after an assault. They questioned me about the incident, asked who was involved, and when I mentioned James, I asked if they could contact the police. Novo’s response was they couldn’t call the authorities; I had to do it myself.”
According to the tour manager, law enforcement didn’t arrive at the scene until over 2 hours later, and though they took a report, no arrests were made. Some find it hard to believe that Cron could have attacked someone as big as James, given his smaller stature. Additionally, there are allegations that Cron was framed. There are even receipts showing LaTroy’s disdain for CA. For example, in one tweet, LaTroy suggested Cron would claim she took a DNA test on herself rather than the baby’s father. Another tweet mocks Cron’s desire for triplets, insinuating she’s terminated pregnancies before. Lastly, he expressed preference for seeing Big Groove’s endorsements over Cron’s frequent dental issues.
It’s almost too convenient for some to buy into the idea that everything was orchestrated as a vendetta against CA, isn’t it? Especially when LaTroy, who previously claimed no association with CA, can’t seem to stop talking about her. This incessant chatter fuels suspicions that the entire saga was meticulously planned. But then again, we’re talking about Cran here—someone with a track record for stirring up trouble. Remember when CA allegedly orchestrated her sister Vicky getting jumped? Or the accusation of her punching her former hair stylist on a red carpet? Let’s not forget the incident where Blueface ended up with a head injury supposedly caused by CA. And who could overlook that infamous video of CA engaging in a brawl with both Blueface’s sister and mother? There’s a laundry list of past altercations where CA allegedly got physical, which begs the question: is she now denying everything to protect herself from violating probation and facing another lawsuit? It’s worth noting that in September, Cron was handed a four-year probation sentence by a Craig County District Court judge for charges related to controlled substance possession and distribution. If the court finds her guilty of leaving James with a chipped tooth, it could mean jail time for Chan.
For those curious about Tamar’s reaction to the controversy, she did respond, quite emotionally, I must say.
“He was hurt, and I just feel like I can’t make anyone happy. I really wish you would have hit me instead of him. You know, I’m just so sorry it happened to you.”
Tamar also clarified that despite what some, including Cron, might believe, she wasn’t seeking to gain attention from Rock.
“And I apologize, Chan, if you felt that any of us wanted to exploit you for attention. No, none of us. I won’t even dignify that with a response because it’s absurd.”
Tamar expressed a sense of kinship towards Cron, likening her to a younger sister due to their shared experiences of early fame. She harbored empathy for CA, hoping to give her a platform to showcase her growth and true character to the community. Tamar even considered mentoring her in navigating the industry and overcoming personal challenges. Regrettably, these intentions didn’t materialize as expected. While Tamar clarified she didn’t extend a formal invitation for Cron to perform at the show, she did suggest Rock participate in their customary twerk-off alongside her song.
The conflicting accounts continue, with Cron asserting she was indeed invited to perform, supported by the DJ’s request for her song. However, Cron adamantly declined Tamar’s assistance, feeling exploited for publicity.
As tensions escalate, LaTroy predicts legal repercussions for Cron, while CA breaks her social media hiatus to denounce the entire team as deceitful. The unfolding saga prompts speculation: was Cron set up, did Tamar seek attention, or is Cron solely responsible for her predicament? The audience is left to ponder these questions, eagerly awaiting the resolution.
