Vado has issued an apology for his violent attack on Tahiry, but it comes with a caveat. After a clip of the incident from WE tv’s Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition went viral, the Harlem-bred rapper expressed remorse for his actions yet blamed her for provoking him.
“Nobody’s da victim we both were wrong doin me more because I’m a Man dat tried to take da better route but couldn’t once it was no apology n continuous of disrespect I lost it n went out like a Str8 Sucka,” he wrote on Instagram. “I apologize to all women once again but ladies please keep y’all hands to y’all selves #UsToo.”
The disrespect mentioned by Vado referred to Tahiry throwing apples at him on the show. That heated interaction preceded the choking incident, which occurred during a sitdown with fellow cast members of Marriage Boot Camp.
Video of Vado grabbing Tahiry’s throat spread via social media on Wednesday (July 29). The clip going viral prompted a statement from Tahiry, who insisted the altercation wasn’t staged for reality television.
