This is a really interesting tidbit of information that we wanted to share with y’all, after the many conversations that surrounded Michel’le’s prior biopic, “Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge, and Michel’le.” The man in the photo above, is someone who reportedly knows Michel’le very well. So much so, that he surprisingly claimed that he almost gunned down Dr. Dre over her back in the day. But his alleged relationship with Michel’le isn’t what you might be thinking.
His name is Christopher Toussaint and in 2013, he revealed to Diary Of A Hollywood Street King, why he apparently came this close to shooting Dre over Michel’le Toussaint. You see where this is going yet? See what Christopher a.k.a. rapper, Soliarii, had to say about this below…
MICHEL’LE’S BROTHER ALMOST SHOT HER THEN BOYFRIEND, DR. DRE?
Christopher says that he is Michel’le’s brother and that back when Michel’le was in her past alleged abusive relationship with Dre, he was about to shoot him for putting his hands on Michel’le. Here is what HSK reported in 2013:
The ‘Late Bloomer’ indie lyricist — whose real name is Christopher Toussant — says he’s tired of hearing people “talk about” Michel’le’s “corrective surgery” … the reported result of the R&B Diva’s physical abuse by baby daddy Dr Dre. That’s why Soliarii — who explains he was “a teen when all that was going on … and tried to protect his sister” — recently recalled the “day she [Michel’le] came home, bruised and clearly beaten by Dre.”
Here’s what Soliarii had to say about it: “Our mother and grandmother kept me from going into the living room and gunning Dre down. To this day, Dre still doesn’t know what our mother and grandmother did for him.”
Now here’s where we gotta play devil’s advocate and raise an eyebrow (or two):
– One thing we couldn’t help but notice is that Michel’le spells her last name as ‘Toussaint,’ but Christopher spells his as ‘Toussant.’ We also understand that artists change their names or the spelling of their names all the time though, so maybe that could be the reason for the elusive ‘I.’
– The other eyebrow raiser is that we have searched high and low for any physical evidence that proves Michel’le and Christopher are siblings and have come up short. Now that still doesn’t mean that they are not siblings, but we just thought it was worth pointing out, so that y’all can have all of the info and then decide who you believe in this situation.
***UPDATE: We were recently sent the throwback photo (below) of Soliarii a.k.a. Christopher Toussant standing in front of his sister, Michel’le when he was a kid. We were also informed that Michel’le’s birth name was Michelle Toussant (not her current name,Michel’le Toussaint, with an “I” and apostrophe’). So it looks like Christopher is telling the truth about being her brother after all ILOSM fam.’
If this is true, we are SO happy Christopher was stopped from executing his plan that day.
