Peddling Imposter? Fans Call Foul On “Women’s Activist” Vic Mensa Over His Abusive Relationship History

(Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images for D’USSE) Fans Call Out “Woman’s Activist” Vic Mensa For Abusing A Woman Himself Chicago reppin’ rapper Vic Mensa is catching slack after he stood up for women in abusive relationships . Folks are saying he’s a whole hypocrite for bashing later rapper XXXtentacion during a freestyle at a recent taping of the Bet Hip Hop awards because HE TOO abused a woman. To rewind, XXXtentacion faced domestic violence charges before he passed away, and his fans believe he was on his way to reforming. XXX fans did not like that Vic tried to diss him posthumously, while his mother was present. Vic made a video to address backlash, saying GTFOH to stans. BUT, here’s the thing…Vic has admitted to “choking out” his ex-gf after she confronted for cheating. He wrote an entire song about it. Vic dated Natalie Wright for a few years, according to this Breakfast Club interview. At the 16:25 mark , Vic talks about abusing her and breaking up to “stop” their cycle. He admits to choking her two years before they split. Because Vic admitted to assaulting his ex-girl, although he was never arrested, some fans believe Vic is disingenuous and only using this “voice” to peddle to women and folks online. i love vic mensa, hes extremely informed, understands intersectionality &is an incredible activist but something about this doesnt sit right with me. hes profited off of abusing his girlfriend by using it as a line in a song. feels weird to have him be the one speaking on this https://t.co/F0p7WgeRzf — rat (@maddydamm) October 10, 2018 Hit the flip to see what else they’re saying.

Joe Jonas Celebrates 21st Birthday Onstage

‘I hope you can fit a car on there,’ Joe jokes as brothers Kevin and Nick surprise him with cake at Hershey, Pennsylvania, show. By Jocelyn Vena Joe Jonas (file) Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images Joe Jonas celebrated a major milestone on Sunday when he turned 21. But his brothers decided to start the celebration a few hours early on Saturday night while onstage during a Hershey, Pennsylvania show. Kevin and Nick wouldn’t let Joe get through the Hershey Stadium concert without acknowledging his big day in front of their fans. In online footage , Kevin tells Joe, “I think it’s important that we celebrate with our friends as well. So we wanna bring out a little something for you, Joe.” Just before a cake was brought out to him, Joe joked, “I hope you can fit a car on there.” “In the meantime,” Nick said to the fans, “why don’t we sing happy birthday to Joe?” As the crowd sang out to Joe, Kevin’s wife, Danielle, and a female friend carried out the birthday cake but had some problems lighting the candles. With a little assistance from the birthday boy, one candle was lit, and then Joe took a second to think about what he wanted to wish for. “That’s really good cake,” Joe told fans as he took a bite. “Thank you, guys!” So, did Joe enjoy the big surprise? It seems so. He later tweeted , “:)… Ohhh boyyy… That show was amazing!” Although there’s no word yet how he celebrated his birthday proper, when the Jonas Brothers stopped by “Good Morning America” last Friday, Joe teased that some plans were in the works. “Besides a dog, I don’t know. That’s all I kind of wanted. I don’t know [what we’re going to do to celebrate]. These guys are not telling me what they’re doing.” In the days before his big 21st, Joe tweeted about his one birthday gift demand: “I had a dream last night I got a dog for my birthday. The dog had huge puppet eyes . When I picked it up he said ‘oh hey Joe.’ ” Nick also tweeted some birthday wishes, via their dad’s Twitter page. “RT @PapaJonas Big Day! Joe’s 21st Birthday, my 25th Anniversary AND JONAS LA tonight on Disney,” he wrote. Tourmate and “Camp Rock 2” castmate (not to mention ex-girlfriend) Demi Lovato was a bit late to the party, but made time to tweet Joe a birthday wish on Monday (August 16) writing, “Ah happy late bday @joejonas!” Share your birthday wishes with Joe in the comments below!
