“Black Ink Crew” actor Teddy Ruks completely lost his cool on his co-star and former fling Jadah Blue after firing her from the tattoo shop during last week’s episode.

Ruks told Blue that she was no longer an employee at “Black Ink” after her physical altercation with Ruks’ new love interest Tatiana. Blue and “Teddy” have a complicated relationship as they both used to be sexually involved with one another. However, the two are clearly done with their ‘situationship’ and “Black Ink Crew” viewers feel Ruks is acting a little bitter towards Blue.

The 28-year-old popped up at a gathering her co-stars were having and Ruks was furious, to say the least.

“Yo why don’t you listen,” Ruks pointed towards Blue. “I thought I told you, you was fired what the f**k are you doing here? If we can’t fire you it gotta be some laws about you stalking and popping up everywhere.”

“Jadah’s” friend Donna tried taking up for her by saying, “Ya’ll don’t even know what’s going on” but Ruks shot back, “We don’t give a f**k about what’s going on!”

Blue broke down in tears and revealed on the show that a relative of hers was shot while they were at a festival in New York. Ruks apologized a few moments later for being a “jerk” to Blue and offered her his condolences with a hug.

However, “Black Ink” viewers were appalled by the way “Teddy” spazzed out on Blue and felt he owed her more than an apology.

“Like a typical b**ch nigga.When you were fu**ing her it was all good and it was okay if she was in the shop. Now you got new pu**y so you acting different. 🤨 yuck!” one fan wrote.

Another added, “Omg why he was going so hard? He owes her more than a damn apology.”

One fan wrote, “This nigga teddy irks my soul. This what happens when you let niggas think they run shit and they don’t.”

A rumor was spread by Blue’s friend and co-star Donna that Ruks was the father of the 28-year-old’s unborn baby. However, Ruks made it clear on social media that the child isn’t his.

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
