‘The Woman Beater Trying to Play Victim’: Fabolous Posts Cryptic Message About Walking Away and Is Reminded By Fans of His Alleged Abuse Against Emily B

Fans are urging rapper Fabolous to do some serious self-reflection after he shared a cryptic message about “finding faults” on his Instagram Story. 

On Wednesday, Oct. 11, the “Can’t Let You Go” lyricist shared a message for his 11 million Instagram followers: “I walked away because you were busy finding faults in me while I was busy overlooking yours.” 

To the message, he added, “Be where you’re celebrated, not tolerated.”

Before the post was wiped away from his Story, The Jasmine Brand had a chance to screenshot it and repost it on their respective Instagram page. It wasn’t long before the outlet’s comment section flooded with angered fans who called out Fabolous for his hypocritical statements. 

While it is unclear to whom his message was directed, many social media users suspected that the Grammy-nominated artist was referring to his tumultuous relationship with his estranged wife, Emily B. Some comments even felt the need to remind Fab of his alleged abusive behavior towards the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” alum.

“You literally beat the teeth out of your wife mouth and fought her father. What the h–l is he talking about,” asked a commenter.

“He was abusing her and cheating on her… she should have walked away,” said another. 

“I love how abusive, narcissistic men talk about ‘walking away’ because someone chose not to forgive their physical abuse. It’s comical,” wrote a follower. 

“Not the woman beater trying to play victim…..have a seat, sir,” said another.

“I hope he not talking about Emily. Didn’t he knock her teeth out? Didn’t he cheat, Chile Fabolous, Please.”

News about Fabolous reportedly putting his hands on Emily B made headlines in 2018 after it was announced that the father of three had been arrested for punching the shoe designer in the face. 

According to court documents obtained by NorthJersey.com, Fab struck Emily B seven times, “causing severe damage to her two front teeth.” Per the court records, she ended up losing her two front teeth.  

Video footage also showed Fabolous threatening Emily B and her father, whom she called for assistance to remove “two handguns from the residence due to her fear that they be used against her.” 

One year after the news broke, Fabolous accepted a plea deal to avoid jail time. He and Emily also remained a couple despite the assault. 

In addition to Fab’s abusive acts, he was accused of being an absentee father to his and Emily B’s soon-to-be 3-year-old daughter, Journey. Last year, he was called out by Emily’s eldest daughter from a previous relationship, Taina Williams, for only caring about his two sons with his wife. 

Fab and Emily B also share a 15-year-old son, Jonah, and an 8-year-old son, Jonas.

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.
