Memphitz finally broke his silence in the ongoing saga between himself and K. Michelle back in June on the T.T Torrez show. Since the first time she appeared on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta K. Michelle’s entire storyline has revolved around her telling the story of how Memphitz kicked her ass and stole her money. Memphtiz has remained silent, but Memph explains to T.T Torrez that it was K. Michelle who attacked him and not the other way around. In the interview Memphitz tells T.T. that after K. Michelle embarrassed him in a business meeting with her loud mouth, he sent her to the hotel room to wait until he was finished. After returning to the room, Memphitz says he broke up with K. Michelle and that’s when she came out swinging. Memphitz admits restraining K. but not hitting her or trying to smother her with a pillow. Memphitz also took a moment to share that MiMi’s best friend Ariane, that they used to date and when he sees her on the previews sitting with K. Michelle, he wonders why she never vouches for the fact that he never laid a hand on her. Take a listen:

The pop powerhouse has teamed up with the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations to launch a global campaign to celebrate humanitarian work and encourage people worldwide to get involved by helping others on August 19. Beyoncé filmed the visuals in front of a live audience at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York earlier this month.
“It says, ‘I want to leave my footprints in the sands of time’ and it basically is all of our dreams,” B told Anderson Cooper of the Diane Warren-penned ballad off her latest album 4. “And that’s leaving our mark on the world. I feel like we all want to know that our life meant something.”
The video was helmed by production company Ridley Scott & Associates and directors Kenzo Digital and Sophie Muller (“Ring the Alarm,” “Deja Vu”).
