If you’re clutching your pearls, sis… same.

The source continues:

“It’s one thing to move on with your life, but to ghost the person who sacrificed his for you? Nate did 8 years. Not 8 months. EIGHT YEARS. Nasseem’s whole boxing career got built while his brother sat in a cell.”

Yikes.

Now, while we can’t confirm the full story, what we do know is that Nate Walker was recently released from prison and has been spotted in L.A. looking real agitated.

Apparently, this whole situation with his brother has been bubbling beneath the surface for a while now. Could it be impacting his mental state? Is Nasseem cracking under the weight of secrets?

And just when fans were celebrating his new public romance with Egypt (ICYMI: she made it social media official), now they’re wondering…

What else is Nasseem Walker hiding?

Still, the fans are torn. Half are demanding answers. The other half? Saying family or not—if Nate’s out here talking to blogs, maybe Nasseem was right to cut ties.

Whatever the truth is, one thing’s for sure:

Lipstick Confidential will be watching.

I blinked, stunned.

“What the fuck is this?”

“My brother on some bullshit,” he growled. “Talkin’ to blogs like a bitch. Tryna make me look like I’m dirty.”

“Is any of it true?”

He gave me a sharp look. “You really askin’ me that?”

“No, I—sorry. No. I just—why would he say all this?”

“‘Cause I ain’t fold. ‘Cause I told him I wasn’t throwin’ my fuckin’ career away for his dumb ass. He tryna back me in a corner.”

My stomach sank. “What do we do?”

“Imma handle it,” he muttered, pulling cash from his wallet and tossing it on the table. “Right now.”

He held his hand out for me and I accepted it without hesitation. As we left out of the restaurant, I couldn’t help but think that our perfect trip had been ruined. But I also wondered if what Lipstick Confidential reported was true. Did Nate take the charge for Nas and if so, what the fuck was the charge for?

NASSEEM

My life was goin’ good as hell. Egypt was glowing like a damn spotlight followed her everywhere she walked. We was good, solid—even happy. I was in the zone with training, focused and locked in. Then that fuck nigga Nate had to pop back up.

Lipstick Confidential blew the whole shit open. The headlines. The blogs. The reposts. The whispers.

“Did Nasseem’s brother do time for him?”

“Boxing star owes his career to a murder cover-up?”

“Walker family secrets exposed!”
