Kelsey’s Revenge https://t.co/hZc76bzwfC pic.twitter.com/ElsNEVxglG
Kelsey Nicole’s connection to Megan Thee Stallion dates back to the infamous shooting incident in July 2020. While initially close, their friendship soured after Megan accused Kelsey of accepting hush money from Tory Lanez, who was involved in the incident. The public spat escalated, with Lanez’s defense team even implicating Nicole as the shooter before his recent conviction.
Darien Smith’s role as an executive at Megan Thee Stallion’s former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, adds an intriguing layer to the remix story. Meg’s departure from the label, following a protracted legal battle, highlights the complex dynamics within the music industry.
Lol he’s our producer 🔥🙏🏽 but definitely family & when one eats .. we all eat ! we’re just working 🙏🏽
