‘Black Ink Crew’ Ceaser and Richard Throw Hands Following New Orleans Beatdown

Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Season 7 of “Black Ink Crew” is filled with drama and long-lasting friendships gone down the drain, including Ceaser Emanuel and Richard Ohsh-t‘s bromance.

Emanuel and Richard have been close friends since season 1 of the VH1 reality show, but it seems their relationship has come to an end. Things between the two spun out of control after Richard invited Emanuel’s former friend and arch nemesis Puma to the “Black Ink” tattoo shop while Emanuel was gone away in New Orleans.

“Ceas” felt Richard completely betrayed him and confronted him about the incident. The moment “Ohsh-t” walked into “Black Ink”, all chaos broke loose. Emanuel pushed Richard and the two began physically exchanging blows. Security quickly intervened to break up the fight between the two former friends while they continued to try and get at each other.

Richard became extremely emotional during the scene and told Emanuel, “You don’t even appreciate the man who’s been down for you since day one? You don’t understand I loved you like you were my f***ing brother and I always will.”

Emanuel responded, “You dead to me… You broke my fu**ing heart.’

Wednesday night’s explosive and teary-eyed episode had “Black Ink” viewers going bananas online.

“At this point i have no sympathy for shit and as far as the other dude he did all that hoopin n hollin and still in ceaser shadow.”

“I just have a soft spot for oshit. This make me sad to see.”

“Tht look on Cease face tho.. look like he wanted to end the bs but tht damn stubborn side took right over. I feel like oh*shit was hurt from all the ppl in the shop repeatedly talking abt his family.”

“This is hard I’ve had to do this to my own family.”

Emanuel shared a post on Instagram following the volatile scene between he and Richard. The image read, “One of the most toxic things I’ve ever done is ignore the bad in someone because I love them.” He added the caption, “Instinct will tell you that YOUR ENEMIES ARE TRYING TO DESTROY BUT NOTHING CAN DESTROY YOU QUICKER THAN A PERSON YOU LOVE 💯.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
