Chrisean Rock is speaking out amid allegations she assaulted one of Tamar Braxton’s backup singers, doubling down on her innocence by noting that there’s no footage of said attack.
Though she’s currently off of social media, the rapper/reality star appeared in a friend’s Instagram Live on Tuesday (November 14) to discuss the incident.

“Why try to lie and say nobody told you she was about to perform?” her friend – who was present at the show – said. “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?”
Chrisean then chimed in: “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.”

Speaking in an Instagram video, Tamar said: “I wasn’t going to say anything out of respect for James and his trauma at what happened to him. When I say what happened, he got assaulted at my show and it was by Chrisean but there was a lot of events that I believe were misconstrued.”
She added: “The reason why I decided to say something — number one, I care about my team, they are all my friends and we put this all together for the fans. I’m not a clout chaser, I don’t need that. My circle is this small.”
Braxton also confirmed that Rock was invited to perform at the show.

The Braxton Family Values star later added on X, formerly Twitter: “I’m tired y’all. I don’t know about this pt2 tour. We are all hurting and if I didn’t say anything I’m wrong. I said something & I’m lying. I’m tired.
“Meanwhile James is at the dentist getting new teeth. Y’all leave me alone. I was only trying to show CR love. I still think she needs hugs and real people.”
Chrisean Rock was apparently supposed to appear on stage with Tamar at some point during the concert, but allegedly missed her cue to perform and later turned angry while backstage. Before deactivating her social media accounts, Rock refuted allegations that she had assaulted Tamar’s backing singer.
“I been brought up before and I know how it goes a certain way…false narratives saying ‘this happened,’ ‘she did that,’” she said on Instagram Live. “I don’t know. I think it’s just a clout chasing thing…honestly, I need to start protecting my name.”
