Chris Tucker accused of going into hiding to escape ex-friend who claims the actor robbed him
Vonte Sweet accused Chris Tucker of shady dealings in a recent interview.
In the early ’90s, Vonte Sweet was one of the rising stars of black Hollywood, charming audiences with performances in movies equivalent to “Boys n the Hood,” “Menace II Society” and “Predator 2.” As his profession took off, Sweet set out to help others, including comedian Chris Tucker, break into the acting scene.
Sweet claims he played a key role in casting Tucker as Skip on Dead Presidents, but their friendship modified when Sweet accused the Def Comedy Jam alum of cheating on him.
According to Sweet, Tucker tried to take his ideas after which push them to ABC behind his back.
In a candid interview for “The Art of DialogueSweet shared the deep pain he felt over Tucker’s actions, revealing that he felt his former friend had stooped to a level that even “the devil” would not reach.
After introducing Tucker to the Hughes brothers for the film, the “Traffic” star saw Tucker’s profession begin to blossom. However, Sweet soon discovered that Tucker was meeting with networks to pitch projects that were actually Sweet’s ideas.
“I had a project, and Chris knew about it because Chris, like I said, was with me for years before he started acting,” Sweet explained to the Mighty Bolton host.
He claimed that he had shared the project with Tucker but had put it on hold for a while, although he had already copyrighted the idea.
Sweet said he began hearing rumors that Tucker was misrepresenting the project as his own. “I heard this n—ga is on all these networks with my sh—t,” he said.
Determined to confront Tucker, Sweet attempted to track him down, but his efforts were in vain.
“You couldn’t find him,” Sweet recalled. “But I knew who could find his s—, and I let them know to let him know that I knew what I knew… that he was somewhere he shouldn’t have been with my s—.”
Sweet continued, “So he knew I knew. And he hasn’t said a word to me since. He’s never tried to call me back and explain.”
Sweet even recalled taking Tucker to his church, City of Refuge: Church Los Angeles, led by pastor Bishop Noel Jones. The church played a big role in Tucker’s spiritual journey, and he stayed in contact with the pastor, even celebration his seventieth birthday in 2020.
But despite introducing Tucker to a spiritual mentor who would help shape his life and profession, Sweet felt something was still off about Tucker. “I sit next to this n—ga in church, and during the week this n—ga do some other sh—t. Damn, even the devil don’t do that sh—t,” Sweet said.
Sweet believes Tucker had no motive to steal his idea, saying ABC executives finally told him about the fraud when Tucker couldn’t close the deal after two or three years. “Nah, that n—ga took my s—t and made a deal without me, but he couldn’t close it because he knew it wasn’t his s—t,” Sweet said.
Fans reacted to the story with mixed feelings, noting Sweet’s relationship together with his friend Tyrin Turner, who also participated in the interview.
“Vonte was pissed and had flashbacks,” one person commented. “Note to self, don’t mention Chris Tucker in front of Vonte lol.”
Another fan compared the conversation to “hair salon conversations,” while one other noted, “Kat Williams told the truth. Everyone’s been exposed this year. Sad that you can grow up with someone and a little money can ruin your friendship.”
“No wonder Chris Tucker did such a great job on Money Talk,” wrote one other YouTube commenter
One fan, convinced of the truth of the story, suggested a path to reconciliation: “Chris, call Vonte. You owe him an apology.”
But for Sweet, the past is the past. “I’m not tripping,” he said. “It’s all done. It’s the past.”

“Forever” Brock Akil is an adaptation of Judah Blume’s book of the same name. The program, which was an awesome hit from the gate for presenting black love, parenting and a careful and thoughtful representation of the black teenage love story, took place on social media.
Made by Mara Brock Akil with the participation of Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Wood Harris and Karen Pittman, amongst others, the desire to be caught in a various, authentic experience of the black community from wealthy to attending to getting and never putting them directly in a difficult situation, but not known, but a well-recognized, but familiar way.
Karen Pittman, who plays Dawn Edwards – a mother on the men’s leader, Justin – shared a message with thanks and appreciation On her website IG.
“Season 2 !!!!!! Thanks to millions of people who tuned, @Foreveronnetflix was renovated for season 2! Less than a week! Thank you very much … omg. I’m humiliated. And so excited! Let’s see what #dawnedwards gets to the next …”

Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.
While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).
On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.
If you missed this, have a look at the 11 best moments of the great thing about celebrities from the week.
Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?
Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.
In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”
“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.
“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”
Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.
“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.
“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.
While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.
Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.
“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
