I had a situation. She sent the money to help look out for me. But this is what ends up happening. This is the honest to God truth.”
He then went on to explain a complicated a tale of a business arrangement that fell through that ended up costing him thousands of dollars and expressed disappointment in her making their situation public, while also adding that he doesn’t have any ill will toward Seales.
Last April, the actress made an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay and the topic of her dating life came up, during which she revealed that she has an interesting history with the Detroit rapper. “If I hate Black men, I want a refund, Shannon,” she told Sharpe. “You know how many brothers I have lifted up? I want a refund! I done paid probation fees because n—as could rap and I want them to be able to live in their talent and their truth. I done talked to a damn P.O. to vouch. Boldy James. And you owe me money.”
Fans of James were taken aback and realized that he was serious when he mentioned her character Deonne Wilburn from the cult classic Nickelodeon show My Brother and Me on his song “Guilt” from 2021 rapping, “Hundred a G/ ‘Member I got fronted the key/ ‘Fore the bag came, my gas tank was under the E/ Life took a ill turn on that Sunderland spree/ Now I’m f—in’ Miss Wilburn from My Brother and Me.”
