Charli went on to be nominated for two Grammy awards, Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Fancy.”

Rina is also a singer. She collaborated with Charli for 2022’s “Beg for You,” which was featured on Charli’s fifth studio album “Crash.” Charli praised Rina for her work on the song, gushing over the British singer’s voice prowess. “It was quite interesting to hear her on more of a clean-cut pop record where her voice — which is actually really classically a pop voice, she can sing like a diva — takes the forefront,” Charli told Entertainment Weekly.

The “Break The Rules” songstress took to social media to clear the air. “Look – this all got a bit crazy – me and Rina spoke about things on the phone just now,” Charli revealed on Twitter. “My unfollowing (which happened a couple of weeks ago) was over a personal disagreement between friends which we’ve now spoken about.” However, Charli did not reveal what caused the initial rift between the former collaborators.

Fans have theories about Charli and Rina’s feud!

Despite Charli XCX’s failure to address why she unfollowed Rina Sawayama, to begin with, fans believe the feud began after Matty Healy’s comments about Ice Spice. Rina has openly bashed The 1975 frontman for the insensitive remarks and has not minced words. “This song goes out to a white man who watches Ghetto Gaggers and mocks Asian people on a podcast,” Rina said during a performance in Glastonbury.

Charli’s boyfriend, George Daniel, is also a member of The 1975. Now, some fans believe that Rina’s comments about Matty could have caused the rift between her and Charli. “The only tea is Rina calling out Matty for being racist and he’s friends/bandmates with Charli’s bf,” one fan suggested. Rina has yet to explicitly address the drama.

What happened to Krayzie Bone?

Anthony is in the hospital because he suffers from an autoimmune condition known as sarcoidosis. The disease is inflammatory and causes the immune system to overreact to perceived threats, leading to pockets of inflamed tissue called granulomas.

Reports suggest that Anthony had a CAT scan that revealed one of his arteries was leaking into his lung, but surgery designed to stop the problem was not a success.

Now, reports suggest that Anthony is on a breathing machine and has been sedated.

This serious condition is genuinely worrisome, and it’s unclear when or if Anthony will ever wake up from his medically induced coma. As a result of his severe condition, many celebrities and others who knew Anthony well or were even just big fans have offered their thoughts and prayers following the news that he was hospitalized.

“Prayers to Krayzie, man!” LeBron James wrote in a post on Twitter.

DJ Paul, an accomplished musician in his own right, added an even lengthier statement. “Please pray for my brother Kray. We was just in the lab Wednesday recording, having fun, drinking his new IPA. This is unbelievable,” he wrote.

The group has earned its reputation as one of the biggest names in hip hop, and worked with everyone from Tupac to Biggie over the course of their long career in the world of music.

Now, the group’s other members are worried about their friend, and hoping he can pull through following this hospitalization. Sarcoidosis is a serious illness, and it’s one that is difficult to treat because it is a disease of the autoimmune system. The coming days will be crucial in understanding where Anthony’s condition ultimately goes from here, and whether he’s able to make a recovery or not.

Published

on

The legal teams for Abigail Elphick and Ijeoma Ukenta, have said the “Victoria’s Secret” Karen viral video wasn’t about race, as previously assumed.

  • Abigail’s legal team states she suffers from multiple mental and physical health conditions.

  • Ijeoma sued Abigail and Victoria’s Secret in 2023 for reportedly being “extremely dismissive” during the ordeal.

Since 2020, the term “Karen” has been a social stigma on white women in U.S. society. The term spawned a meme and a character trait, as cases viral videos of white women threatening to call the police and other authorities on strangers who were notably Black or other people of color began emerging on TikTok and other platforms.

In July 2021, Abigail Elphick, a then-25-year-old white woman living in Milburn, N.J., found herself labeled as the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” after chasing a Black woman named Ijeoma Ukenta for recording her behavior in the famed lingerie store.

Two years after their “Victoria’s Secret Karen,” incident went viral, Abigail and Ijeoma filed lawsuits against one another, with Abigail stating the public mislabeled her and her intentions on that fateful day.

Legal filings revealed “Victoria’s Secret Karen” Abigail Elphick has a “long history of medical and psychological conditions.”

By now, millions of social media users have seen Abigail and Ijeoma’s viral TikTok exchange (and if you haven’t keep scrolling!), which involved Abigail hysterically crying as she begs Ijeoma “please don’t record me” and chasing Ijeoma around the store. In September 2023, Abigail and her legal team shared that the truth behind the video is vastly different than what viewers were led to believe.

According to The New York Times (via Yahoo), legal filings show that Abigail, who was quickly labeled Victoria’s Secret Karen on TikTok and other social platforms, was “disabled, with a long history of medical and psychological conditions” when she entered the Victoria’s Secret store.

Abigail’s team argues that her conditions prompted her “mental health breakdown” and that her behavior at Victoria’s secret wasn’t “race-based.” They stated Abigail was upset because she feared she would lose her job and her apartment, as she lives in a residence for those with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

The latter reportedly happened, as court records show Abigail received a call from a stranger threatening to rape and kill her, and other online users demanding she lose her internship as a local school district. The call prompted Tom Toronto, president of Bergen County’s United Way, the company that runs Abigail’s residence, to speak out in her defense.

“She has a disorder. She has anxiety,” he explained to The Times. “She had a meltdown. Then the world we live in took over, and it became something entirely different than what it actually was.”

Ijeoma Ukenta filed a lawsuit in July 2023 against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

Abigail’s September 2023 comments were in response to Ijeoma’s July 2023 lawsuit against Abigail and Victoria’s Secret.

On July 6, Ijeoma, a content creator, sued Abigail, Victoria’s Secret, and the store’s security guards. Ijeoma stated in her complaint that the store’s security “were extremely dismissive toward her,” and were “indifferent and nonchalant about her concerns for her safety.”

Amid Ijeoma’s filing, Abigail’s counterclaim accused Ijeoma of “harassment” for discussing her and Abigail’s altercation online.

Since the “Victoria’s Secret Karen” video went viral, Ijeoma has received flack for profiting off the incident.

Ijeoma’s GoFundMe and additional content surrounding her initial video caused many people following the story to raise their eyebrows. Several users, including Kasko Xero Vlogs stated she was using the incident for fame and money. In Abigail’s complaint, her lawyers accused her of making “a job out of preying on individuals from behind a keyboard,” and “inciting hate” online.

Ijeoma and her lawyer, Tracey Hinson, have defended the YouTuber profiting from her experience with Abigail. In 2021, Ijeoma said on X, formerly Twitter, that she was well within her rights to “make $ off MY videos if everyone else is.”

The entrepreneur’s attorney also believed it’s her client’s “right” to discuss the situation however she sees fit, especially after being deemed a liar by many in the Milburn community.

“She knew that in Millburn, New Jersey, she would not be believed,” Hinson stated. “And that is exactly what has transpired.”
