Michel’le

As you all know, singer, Michel’le, and hip hop mogul, Dr. Dre, had a years-long relationship back in the day and share one child together. As you also have heard, according to Michel’le their lengthy union was filled with drama and domestic violence.

Well, what you might not know is that Michel’le reportedly has a brother who says he almost shot his sister’s then-boyfriend, Dr. Dre , back then. His name is Christopher Toussaint…he’s a rapper who goes by the stage name, Soliarii. In 2013 Soliarii revealed, to Diary Of A Hollywood Street King, why he apparently came this close to shooting Dre over Michel’le Toussaint. Check out what Christopher had to say about this below…

MICHEL’LE’S BROTHER ALMOST SHOT HER THEN BOYFRIEND, DR. DRE?

Soliarii said that back when Michel’le was in her past alleged abusive relationship with Dr. 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 “[talking] 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” — …recalled the “day she [Michel’le] came home, bruised and clearly beaten by Dre.”

There’s more:

“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,” [said Soliarii].

A source connected to Christopher Toussant a.k.a. Soliarii once sent I Love Old School Music the above throwback photo of Soliarii standing in front of his sister, Michel’le, when he was a child. And as far as the different spellings of their last names…we were also informed that Michel’le’s birth name was Michelle Toussant (not her current name, Michel’le Toussaint, spelled with an “I” and apostrophe’).

So, it looks like Christopher is telling the truth about being Michel’le’s brother. If the aforementioned hostile incident involving Soliarii, Dr. Dre, and Michel’le is true, then we are very happy (for them both) that their family members prevented Soliarii from carrying out his plan that day.
