CHIKA and a promoter who goes by Brandon Anthony got into a contentious Twitter exchange following an ill-fated Black Pride event at a West Hollywood club on July 2. Now, the Warner Music Group artist has revealed Anthony is threatening legal action for allegedly attempting to solicit violence via Twitter.
On Saturday (July 10), the 24-year-old MC/singer fired off a tweet that read, “Awww, Bwandony Anthwony and his ‘aTtORNeY’ sent me a cease and desist letter because of my scaaaary tweets about wanting him to get his ass whooped. They’ve asked that I stop making disparaging remarks about him/his business. Do they know I can sue the fuck outta them & win?”
Awww, Bwandony Anthwony and his “aTtOrNeY” sent me a cease and desist letter because of my scaaaaary tweets about wanting him to get his ass whooped.

CHIKA added, “First of all, once you were dragged by the Internet and ruined your own career, I stopped talking. Secondly, how you send a cease and desist claiming ‘harassment’ when YOU contacted ME? Thirdly, the 3 tweets of mine cited are nothing compared to the 20+ things we got on you.”

When the back-and-forth initially kicked off, Brandon Anthony was privately messaging CHIKA, saying her music “sucked” and making negative comments about her appearance. CHIKA screenshot the messages and shared them with her followers as Anthony continued to publicly criticize her.

“I don’t care about you,” he wrote in a string of since-deleted tweets. “Never did. The club was packed before you stepped yo heavy ass in the building. We actually needed the space. So you didn’t have to show up.” He added in two separate tweets, “One thing about me…I WILL REMAIN UNBOTHERED. Go in the study and get a number one hit. You lost your wallet and your mind.”
CHIKA Calls Out 'Fatphobic' Promoter Who Used Her Likeness For A Club Event Flyer Then Insulted Her On Twitter
After emotions were brought down to a more peaceful level, CHIKA agreed to take a phone call from Anthony who attempted to apologize but wound up just exacerbating the situation. CHIKA put the conversation on Instagram Live without Anthony’s consent, which is apparently the ammo he’s trying to leverage against her along with a “Fuck Brandon” petition that has collected over 5,000 signatures.

But CHIKA remains unfazed and evidently isn’t afraid of catching a misdemeanor.
“Btw, I was gonna declare victory today, essentially closing the petition, but actually go ahead and sign for me so I can bring it to court,” she tweeted. “There’s much more, but since they wanna be dumb lil bitches and try to legally intimidate me, I actually will save it for court. BTW, I looked up the legality of the phone call BEFOREHAND. Ironically, the fine for that misdemeanor is less than what I paid + what he owes COMBINED.”

CHIKA previously broke down the myriad of reasons she believes Brandon Anthony doesn’t have a case — from using her likeness on a flyer without a contract and promising bottle service that never happened to misgendering her purposely and being harassed by security.

Check out the string of tweets below.
3.) I was harassed by his hired security and almost forced out of the building into a sea 100+ of drunken strangers/fans
4.) He made the first correspondence AND it was “disparaging” to me (his attorney likes that word)
5.) He sent subliminal threats about “whooping his ass”

6.) He stalked me and found my mothers name somehow & dropped it into the phone conversation we had
7.) He repeatedly and consistently tweeted and DM-ed me fatphobic remarks, my FAV calling me a “fat, ugly, unimportant piece of troll.”

8.) He admitted to fraud by saying he didn’t care about me being there, displaying that his intent from the beginning was never the even he/his company promised.
9.) He blocked me from the LA Black Pride page the day after I hosted, then issued an apology I couldn’t see.

10.) [Speeding forward, he’s tryna say my IG live broke the law bc you can’t record phone calls/need two party consent to RECORD. I went live. And posted my live video. Which was not only the call, I talked to fans, too. :)]

11.) This isn’t MY fight, but nigga you assaulted Amiyah. Why are you talking to anyone in the legal field rn but a parole officer?
— CHIKA ☁️ (@oranicuhh) July 10, 2021
12.) He misgendered me purposely after knowing and using my correct pronouns previously. He was a follower before all this, mind you.
13.) He created sock accounts (that we can prove by tracing his IP address) to DM harassing me after I exposed him.
14.) He a bitch. (legally)
— CHIKA ☁️ (@oranicuhh) July 10, 2021
15.) He himself posted damaging narratives about MEEEE, the person he VICTIMIZED, so umm… what case do you have, sir?
16.) This letter wants me to take down the “Fuck Brandon” petition, that doesn’t even include his middle or last name. Which could’ve used to TRULY ruin him.
