Back in the day, Wesley Snipes was a top dog in the industry, raking in almost ten million dollars for a movie. However, somewhere along the way, things went seriously wrong for the actor. Directors didn’t want to cast him, studios didn’t return his calls and co-stars had nothing nice to say about him in interviews.

From all angles, it looks like Wesley was a bag egg to begin with. However, this is where Snipes turns the tables. According to him, the downfall of his career wasn’t a him problem but a them problem. In his words, Snipes was given the boot simply because he stepped on the wrong toes. And guess what? His grievances are shared by many other black actors in the industry. Just what’s the scoop here? Was Wesley Snipes really blacklisted by Hollywood? And if so, why? Let’s find out.

The notion that my situation was labeled as the biggest trial in history had me questioning my significance. There were rumors circulating during the filming of Blade Trinity, the third installment of the Blade series, that Wesley Snipes had a physical altercation with the director. However, I didn’t feel that was where our focus should be. I didn’t want to contribute to the negative portrayal of Black individuals as drug dealers and degenerates. I felt it was important not to perpetuate harmful stereotypes.

Wesley Snipes was once a prominent figure in the industry, earning nearly $10 million per movie. However, his career took a turn for the worse, with directors and studios avoiding him, and co-stars speaking negatively about him. Snipes attributes this downfall to stepping on the wrong toes, rather than any inherent flaws on his part. He believes he was blacklisted because he challenged certain individuals in the industry.

In 1991, Snipes encountered trouble with the law when he was wrongfully detained by police in Los Angeles. He was accused of driving a stolen vehicle, which was actually a leased car he had permission to use. Despite the incident being resolved, it left a lasting impact on Snipes, who felt racially discriminated against.

In 2005, Snipes sued New Line Cinema and director David S. Goyer over issues during the filming of Blade Trinity. He claimed he was forced to work in unbearable conditions, with a lack of approval over the script and racist remarks made by Goyer. Snipes felt that the studio was attempting to diminish his role in the Blade franchise. However, the studio painted Snipes as difficult to work with, tarnishing his reputation further.

Despite these challenges, Snipes remains resilient. He acknowledges the struggles faced by African-Americans in Hollywood, where their voices are often silenced or discredited. Snipes refuses to let these setbacks define him, emphasizing the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of adversity.

The title that significantly advanced Wesley’s career in the past was his portrayal of the iconic character Nino Brown, a New York drug kingpin, in the film “New Jack City.” Given the immense success of the original film, one might expect Wesley to eagerly sign on for a reboot. However, to the surprise of fans, Wesley distanced himself from the project. In an interview with Shadow and Act’s Brook Obie while promoting his film “Dolemite Is My Name,” Snipes made it clear that he wanted no involvement in the reboot, stating, “I’m not associated with it. I have nothing to do with it at all.”

He elaborated on his decision, expressing concerns about perpetuating negative stereotypes of black actors in the film industry. Wesley believed that recreating the drug culture depicted in the original film would contribute to these harmful stereotypes, and he did not want to be a part of it. While his refusal to participate may have clashed with the desires of studio executives pushing for the reboot, Wesley’s stance resonated with others who have criticized the portrayal of black characters in Hollywood.

Some have accused Wesley of inconsistency, pointing out instances where he seemed to perpetuate negative stereotypes himself. For example, in a 1997 interview with Ebony magazine, Wesley made controversial remarks about dating and relationships within the black community, sparking backlash from black women.

Despite facing criticism and obstacles, Wesley remains steadfast in his convictions. His refusal to compromise his principles, even at the cost of his career, has earned him both admiration and criticism. Whether viewed as a victim of industry biases or as someone who dug his own career grave, Wesley’s journey continues to spark discussions about representation and integrity in Hollywood.

I had some reservations about Jaguar Wright’s situation, to be honest. It seemed like she lacked proper support and organization, but then again, everyone seems to be bought in this industry. It’s evident that influential figures like Diddy, formerly known as Sean Carter, have significant control, hence the existence of Rock Nation.

I found it intriguing when Jaguar hinted at revealing information about Big L. She claimed to have started something with Big L when she was only 14 years old, which she kept secret. This revelation suggests a deeper connection between Jaguar and Sean Carter, alias Jay-Z. She even provocatively invited Jay-Z to sue her, expressing her desire to testify in court about her knowledge regarding him and Big L.

Big L, a rapper signed to Columbia Records, tragically passed away in 1999 due to a drive-by shooting. Jaguar implied a connection between Jay-Z and Big L, suggesting that Jay-Z was the last person to see Big L alive. This revelation sheds light on the history of the hip-hop industry and the individuals involved.

Jaguar also shared her thoughts on the formation of Rockefeller Records, attributing its success to Damon Dash, not Jay-Z. She recounted how Jay-Z emerged after Big L’s death, capitalizing on the void left by iconic figures like Biggie and Tupac.

Moreover, Jaguar expressed her desire to speak out against Jay-Z despite previous constraints. She mentioned the absence of a non-disclosure agreement and her concerns about potential repercussions. However, she now feels emboldened to speak out, as she believes the truth must come to light.

In summary, Jaguar’s revelations offer a unique perspective on the hip-hop industry’s inner workings and the relationships between key figures like Jay-Z, Damon Dash, and Big L. Her willingness to confront powerful individuals and seek legal action demonstrates her determination to expose the truth, regardless of the consequences.

Jaguar Wright Says Common Is The Reason Her IG Was Temporarily Shut Down: Lonny, You Have Become So Fake

It looks like Jaguar Wright still isn’t here for Common. Jaguar Wright, born Jacquelyn Suzette Wright, recently shared that she’s no longer on Instagram lockdown and has gotten her account back. According to Jaguar Wright, her page was shut down after American entertainer Common, born Lonnie Corant Jaman Shuka Rashid Lynn, reported her for harassment. To announce the news of having her page back the ‘Self Love’ singer uploaded an image to her account of what appears to be an animated woman pointing at a watch. The image says,

“TICK TICK…TICK TICK! WILL I BE TALKING TO YOUR LAWYER TODAY LONNY!?

Jaguar Wright captioned the image,

“Out of IG jail and we’re back at it again! I’m so tired of all these stacked decks! This is the second time I’ve been on [lock and key emoji] down .. after being reported for harassment by @common .. though he has sent Hella Trolls to my @dalladelphiaproductions zoom room meetings, and countless trolls here on IG to attack or set me up for defamation suits! I do my own wet werk and don’t hide my intentions!”

She added,

“ Lonny, you have become so fake; I have to listen to your old records just to remember you use to be a real dude! Then .. that last relationship, just broke down like an old #fordpickup on I-30 N! Why do they all leave Lonny? Did you break up with all these amazing women from your past? Or, did they [run] just like I did!? Why Lonny!? #whycomelonny #ucantmakemewhat2do #yupisaidit #wcwmeetingusa #dalladelphia #meetthejohnsons #metoomissedwho2020 #ripmo3 #dallaslife #gone2soon #hisstory #possibilityhistorians”

The drama between Jaguar Wright and Common seems to have started this past August when Jaguar Wright accused Common of sexually assaulting her in the past.

Following her claims, Jaguar Wright came forward and apologized to Common’s girlfriend, Tiffany Haddish, for any trouble her allegations may have caused her.

“My most humble and sincerest apologies go out to the incomparable @tiffanyhaddish .. I began to look through your page and I just wanted to say I’m sorry if anything that I’ve done caused you distress … and you look fabulous in that suit … rockin it .. keep on being amazing be well God-bless you #sheready?”

Common has recently spoken on Jaguar Wright’s allegations against him and said that even though he has no ill feelings toward her, what she said isn’t true.

“Let me say this, man, God bless Jaguar. I really don’t have any negative thoughts towards her. I was surely disappointed and hurt when she said what she said about me because it wasn’t true. And I know people that have experienced sexual assault and that’s not anything to just say if it’s not true.”

Common added,

“I also understand that she may be going through some things that I don’t understand. In all truth, I went through different emotions. I was like ‘Man why is she saying this? This is like, not true. How is this going to affect me?’ But then I started thinking ‘Man, I don’t know what she’s going through.’”
