'I Lost A Lot Of Stuff': Chingy Claims Sydney Starr's Lies About Their Relationship Had Negative Impact On Her Career
Chingy accuses Sidney Starr of ruining his career by falsely claiming they had a sexual relationship, causing significant damage. Know more about how things are between those two now.
In a dramatic revelation, Chingy has revealed that transgender social media personality Sidney Starr ruined his career by spreading a lie about their sexual relationship. As part of her search for 15 minutes of fame, a transsexual named Sidney Starr claimed to have a secret undercover relationship with Chingy in 2010, setting the hip-hop world on fire.
She later revealed she had lied about her relationship with Chingy and that he didn't even realize she was transsexual when they met at a Chicago show two years ago. By then, the damage had already been done and Chingy's career had already suffered.
Sidney Starr’s 15 minutes of fame ruined Chingy’s whole career
Chingy spoke with TMZ about how that situation effectively ended his buzzing career and how he didn't appreciate the way the music industry operated at the time. Despite Starr admitting she lied about saying they hooked up, the 44-year-old says his whole career collapsed, and he was never able to come back from it.
"When that happened I lost a lot of stuff based off a lie, which was just, that was the most oddest thing I've ever seen," Chingy said. "Nah, man, when the individual apologized, and it so-called went away, which it took years to blow away, nah, man. Ain't nothing good happened from that for me."
The sudden disappearance of someone of his caliber, who had sold millions of records and enjoyed great popularity, causes people to wonder if something has happened. His absence, however, was attributed to shady industry politics, sabotage, and bullcrap regarding the Starr situation.
Although Chingy accepted Starr's apology, he never truly made up with her. As far as he was concerned, he just wanted to come to an understanding and move on without having to deal with Starr.
As he looks back on his time with Sidney Starr, Chingy says it's like "spilled milk" to him now, indicating that he's moved on. In the aftermath of this incident, he said, "That situation... that hurt my career." Despite Starr's apology, he said that he would move forward and not hold on to anger.
What led to all this ruckus between Chingy and Sidney Starr?
It all started when a photo of Starr and Chingy taken in 2010 circulated online, with Chingy claiming they were dating. Chingy's career trajectory suffered greatly when people picked up on the rumor and started questioning his sexuality.
It was revealed in 2012 that Starr made the entire relationship bluff to advance her career and apologized to Chingy. Despite that, they were never able to come to an understanding over the years and continued to take shots at one another.
Keeping his belief in love and forgiveness, inspired by Jesus's teachings, Chingy would approach Sidney Starr with a forgiveness mindset if he met him today. "I forgive them," he said, "it doesn't mean I have to be evil along with them just because that person chose to be evil."
Although Chingy suffered significant setbacks because of the fabricated relationship rumors, he remains positive and committed to moving forward. It's possible he told Starr it was hurtful and damaging to his career, as he once said, "That was pretty messed up. That was foul. I ended up losing a lot."
