Jose Hernandez, Jr. & Brimstone on Red Carpet at Arena

Thursday nights in New York City just continue to get crazier… I committed to attend an event over at The Arena and wound up getting there pretty early. I met up with Jose Hernandez, Jr. and figured on walking over to the spot rather than making a fashionably late appearance. We arrived on scene and posed for photos on the red carpet before heading inside. Jose, Dawg, and I were able to find a nice little area to just chill and catch up on things before the place began to fill-in.

I noticed from a distance that an unexpected (by me) Pablo Escobar, Jr. had entered the building. Dawg went to let Pablo know we were there and he was told that we were supposed to head up to the V.I.P. area as well. Jose and I shot upstairs in order to start the festivities! We always have a blast when we get together so I was happy to see him.

Funny thing was… it became almost a repeat of the other night! Soon after, we were joined by Samantha Cole and her manager (donning an authentic looking military outfit).

Just about 45 minutes later… we were again joined by E6 (From G’s to Gents)! This was hilarious considering we just painted the town red last week and it looked as though it was about to happen again!!!

I was at one point brought over to meet with up and coming artist, O’Neil McKnight who is being pushed by Russell Simmons himself. I said a quick hello and let him be considering he was going to perform following the fashion show. I noticed the models lining up to run the catwalk so I scurried over to my side again to watch the show. The models were fierce although I would have preferred to see my girls Claire, Marvita, and Atalya work it instead LoL… Hey, I have to put my friends over!!!

Now… what happened next boggled my damn mind!!! I have seen A LOT of different things in my time throughout music, wrestling, acting… hell LIFE in general… but in ALL my time and endless escapades, I have never witnessed what I saw that night. I noticed some guy somehow stroll upstairs and make his way passed the security. He walked into the V.I.P. area passing myself and Pablo, then proceeded to SLAP a woman who was sitting towards the back of the section!!! Well, this kind of thing does NOT fly by me and before I could even say boo… Dawg jumped over and grabbed this piece of trash and subdued him until the club’s security finally got over there. They dragged him out and we all checked to see if she was alright. About 5 minutes later… this dude somehow made his way BACK into the club, BACK up to V.I.P, and started walking towards this girl yet again!!! Well, this time I personally interjected and grabbed the guy in his tracks to keep him away from his target. I tried reasoning with him (although I made sure to let him know that I thought he was a pathetic excuse for a man for hitting a woman), but the punk just refused to listen and continued to try and pass me. At this point Dawg saw what was going on and made his way over to me just in time to hear this guy (obviously not too intelligent) try and threaten me… BAD IDEA. The club’s security once again made their way over as Dawg tried calming me down. I’m a really nice guy and very easy to get along with… this guy was seriously pressing his luck. He was just not worth me getting bad press over. Simple as that. I decided that we should just leave before I lost my self-control. As we headed out, I ran into Carlos from MTV’s Making the Band 4.

Carlos was heading down to Mariah Carey’s Halloween party and we were considering just heading over there with him and his crew but instead we headed over to Runway for a few to unwind. I apparently missed Ice T and Coco by literally five minutes so I was pretty upset about that. I wound up listening to DJ Clue on the turntables and hanging with Vince Carter (NBA - Nets) for a little while before calling it a night.
