If you need a lil’ refresher, Tuson bad-mouthed Ari in a series of X posts, accusing her of writing him a fake check for “clout.” He also alleged that she spit on him. Tuson also started a GoFundMe fundraiser to recoup the money he tried to get from her in person and doubled down on his energy.

Ari Fletcher & Tuson Exchange Insults In Public Over The Check

At first, Ari seemingly paid his allegations dust. However, she later cleared the air, and claimed Tuson tried to run a scam at the dealership she sent the funds to. She had intended the check to be a down payment for a new car, but he seemingly wanted the coins to be sent directly to him. Tuson clapped back and denied doing anything illegal in his paperwork with the dealership. Meanwhile, Ari promised that supporters would see the beef play out on ‘The Impact.’And she was right, spit and all, chile!

In the BET+ clip, Ari Fletcher pops off about Tuson, saying she owes him the birthday money. She says his request pissed her off because she had already sent the down payment to the dealership. In the video, Ari warns Tuson that he can get his “*ass put out” of her place of business if he continues to press her. “Can I get the money? I need it,” he responded. She’s telling him to relax, but he’s persistent with his request. Mind you, she’s getting her hair down, and there are others in the room while he’s insisting on his bands.

Upset, Ari finally asked him to leave, and they both yelled at each other. Fletcher accused him of only “complaining.” They also went back and forth about “playing” with each other and whether Tuson was leaving on his own accord or whether Ari put him out! After he was outside the business’s doors, Ari spit in his direction, but the footage shows Tuson more than a few feet away near a few parked cars. Watch the full, uncensored episode preview below:

Influencer Reacts To The Airing Of Their Confrontation

Over on X, Ari reassured viewers of ‘The Impact’ episode that she did not spit ON Tuson. She claimed he was in the car, but as mentioned, the footage showed him near cars not inside of any after she let the spit fly.

On the show, Ari told her ex-friend, “Tuson if it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t have sh*t going on in your life and that’s on Yosohn Santana.”Today, on X, she confirmed that it’s a wrap for their relationship, especially after swearing on her son.

Also, Ari seemingly defended her decision to send Tuson’s birthday check money to the dealership rather than pay him directly. The beauty CEO also admitted to giving him a gift despite him not showing love for hers.

Tuson Shares Photos With A Car

Amid ‘The Impact’ fight between him and Ari going viral, Tuson hopped on social media with a message. He shared photos of himself posing with a white truck and threw shade at “that fake $20K.”

“So much winning they think that it’s riggeddddd….God said don’t worry about that fake 20K and he been blessing me with so many $20Ks that I can actually spend. HE AIN’T DONE!!!”

 

Before his update, Tuson spoke about their friendship and the incident in another series of posts on Nov. 1.
