Quavo and Saweetie Address Elevator Incident

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MEGA / Getty Both Saweetie and Quavo have addressed the now-infamous footage of them getting into a physical altercation near and on an elevator last year. The former says they moved on after the incident and it had no bearing on their relationship’s failure while the latter asserts he was never physically abusive.

The 90-second clip led to debate on Twitter over whether or not Saweetie was seen hurling fists at Quavo while the rapper allegedly flung her into the elevator, which caused a visible limp when she eventually walked out.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Manny Carabel / Getty Hate him or love him one thing that Ebro does not do is bite his tongue.

Rumors of Quavo Repossessing Saweetie’s Bentley Are False

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: MEGA / Getty Days after Saweetie revealed that she and Quavo had officially split due to his alleged infidelity, rumors had begun spreading that Quavo went there and repossessed that spiffy Bentley he had gifted his ex during better days.

Sources tell TMZ that rumors of Quavo having the repo man creep in the wee hours of the morning to spitefully take back the luxury automobile are completely false and the 6 figure whip is still safe and sound in Saweetie’s garage. Supposedly, he leased it and never put it in Saweetie’s name — and a deal he struck with the dealership allowed him to end the contract early … which he’s alleg...
