‘It’s Giving Dr. Miami’: Fans Accuse ‘Black Ink Crew’ Star Ceaser Emanuel of Having Lipo

Ceaser Emanuel from “Black Ink Crew: New York” is taking on a new healthier lifestyle and hitting the gym.

Hollywood Unlocked captured a photo the tattoo shop owner shared on his Instagram story Tuesday, Oct. 12. The image shows Emanuel taking a picture of his shirtless muscle-toned body and red shorts in the mirror.

“Can’t wait ’til next summer,” Emanuel wrote over the photo. “Transformation is the key to success.”

As the photo made its way around social media, fans in the comments raved about the 42-year-old’s chiseled chest, with some expressing that perhaps he paid a visit to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Miami. One person joked, “It’s giving Dr. Miami, but get it!”

Others who took notice of Emanuel’s “sculpted” body accused the reality star of receiving a Brazilian Butt Lift, or liposuction, encompassing the whole body. “He got a BBL,” a second person wrote, while a third said, “I know lipo when I see it. GTF on sir.”

Meanwhile, some were less worried about the reality star’s healthy transformation and more concerned about his relationship with his daughter, Cheyenne. A fourth person added, “How is your daughter, sir?”

For those unfamiliar, Emanuel was involved in a domestic incident with his then-16-year-old daughter in January 2021, who alleges her father “put hands and feet” on her. Emanuel stated in an exclusive statement to The Shade Room, “I would never physically abuse her. I have only done what many parents would have when their child has crossed the line and that is discipline, my child.”

In light of remarks from Cheyenne and her mother, Crystal Torres, Emanuel filed a defamation suit against Torres for publicly accusing him of abusing their daughter in May.

In another Instagram post, Emanuel shared an abnormal piece of advice, writing, “Men settle where they find peace….not beauty. Yall not listening tho.”

This may mean Emanuel has finally found peace within his new relationship with licensed realtor Suzette Samuel. The couple initially met in 2014, but have been attached at the hip since February 2020.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
