Queen Pen

After catching consistent beatings from her ex, Queen Pen is pushing for tougher domestic abuse laws:

Grammy winner and domestic violence survivor Queen Pen will host a press conference/rally on Friday January 16 to advocate tougher domestic violence legislation in New York.

Last year, the state’s Criminal Justice division released statistics supporting evidence that 55% of female homicides are due to a domestic issue.

Last January Queen Pen, born Lynise Walters, was severely beaten and rendered unconscious in a home invasion incident with an ex-boyfriend.

The brutal beating resulted in the rapper nearly being killed and required reconstructive surgery.

The ex-boyfriend and father of two of Queen Pen’s children remains at large. Before the last attack, Queen Pen had secured five orders of protections since 2005.

“It took 31 minutes for police to respond to a 911 call,” Queen Pen told AllhipHop.com of the incident. “If my life is taken away or I can’t provide for my children, who’s going to take care of them?”

Also joining Queen Pen for the rally is Persia of VH1’s White Rapper Show, who has a court date pending for carrying an unregistered firearm, allegedly for protection against a violent ex.

“I was involved in an abusive relationship which led to him trying to kill me,” Persia explained. “I felt I had no choice but to protect myself. I’m advocating in hopes that the laws can be in favor to the abused and we won’t have to fear for our lives any longer.”

Supporters that will be present for the rally include NY Senator Eric Adams, Assembly Member Hakeem Jeffries, Executive VP of the NY Board of Rabbis-Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, and retired Knick/activist John Starks.

New Hip-Hop artist Lil Mama and Greg King (father of the late Julian King, nephew of Jennifer Hudson, and representing the Hudson-King Foundation) will serve as special invited guests.

The event commences January 16 at 4Pm at the Denim Lounge, located on 1223 Bedford Ave in Brooklyn.

SMH and glaring at fellas who kick chicks’ asses. When you go to the big house with these tougher laws, those ‘real criminals’ are gonna f*ck you up something awful…and take your man cakes without your permission.  Punk.

    No way, Ashlie. Seriously? You care; ESPECIALLY in a year when your boyfriend flips a switch and dangles your silly ass off the balcony, throws you up against the wall, then blacks your left eye. Silly broad…it’s heffas like you who end up getting a rude awakening later on. “Oh, you gonna learn…”

  • c from stl

    Is she ever going to put out anything new? The last song I heard from her came out around 12 years ago….anyway, I hope she’s successful with her cause…

    This might be in poor taste considering the circumstances but Penn is looking good and thick right about now: I’d beat it.

    @drewzee23

    Why should any woman be afraid of a nicca putting hands on her when she got men in her family that will protect her and straighten that lil bytch out real? Aint no excuse for a man putting his hands on a woman, I’m 6’2 270lbs of concrete, and most of the men in my fam are about the same damn size, we wish a nicca would touch a woman in our fam, fuk that!

    No doubt, props to her, cause after 5 kids, she looking damn good.

  • CleanCutta

  • B Dolo

    I hope she makes a comeback. I think I am going to go download some music by her. I remember when I brought her tape in 1997.

  • JK

    This, I can guarantee: If you are 6′ 2″ and 270 pounds, you ain’t concrete…you’re fat, which is completely beside the point. Not trying to talk shit, just saying. You may feel that way about the women in your family, but do you know how many women who get abused have niggaz like you in their family who they are afraid to tell because they don’t want you to go to jail after you do the shit that you are basically threatening to do to the nigga? Exxxxactly. It ain’t about you, pimpin’. She could have a gun right beside her, but if she is afraid to, or won’t use it…it ain’t much help now is it?

    By the way…I misread your comment and thought you were saying you were a 6′ 2″ 270 lb woman…and I was going to spend a good portion of the morning performing a written assault I would later have to apologize for. My bad.

    All of us on this blog aint computer nerds homie, some of us hit the gym and got good genes. Nicca I disagree, a woman with strong men in her family knows what love is, and will never deal with some dude putting his hands on her. The bottom line is this me and my fam have allready straightened out a nicca or two here or there for that shyt, like we saw in New Orleans with hurricane Katrina, lack of communication, and men not standing up for there familys you have chaos, I don’t give a shyt about jail, touch what I love and we got a problem.

  • If Money Is The Root Of All Evil, Then P*ssy Gotta Be The Tree!

    Also to add to this men gotta be responsible for the women in there imediate families. I talk to the women in mine about shyt like this, for instance, do you have anybody threatening you? Stalking you? Giving you bad vibes? Its important to keep that dialogue and let them know that they can talk to you about anything (they even tell me the sex shyt which i don’t care to hear, but its all communication). Having a positive male is important.

  • Sicky Wife Beater

    THERE’S ALWAYS AN EXCUSE FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE. I LOVE BEATING ON A BITCH WITH A BASEBALL STICK, OH YEAH!

  • ATXChick

    she needs to take that red hair out like now

  • Nigga Said

    I think I might go to this rally and punch Queen Pen in the face. Since we aren’t a couple it wont be domestic violence, just assault.

  • CandyGirl

    First off Ashley – f-you – you get your ass beat down and almost die and see how you feel when someone tells you “Who Cares”

    Second – I thought this chic was gay?? Guess she must’ve switched back.

    I think if your man is getting out of line – show him the called “SNAPPED” I think it’s on the Oxygen channel. That should straigten his ass out.

    Peace

  • Susan B

    One day in Brooklyn,NY at a gas station she cursed me out from her Lexus because I was in her way.
    Nasty mouth.

  • reddnwood

    Just more hatred of ALL MEN from some THUGGED UP HOES!!!

  • Chanel Shades

    She’s gross.

  • nwmasssmedia.com

    this post should not be made out to be a joke I glad she’s standing up it needs to be tougher here to in chicago. I trying to get away from a abuser it’s not easy I don’t care how much ganster you are when a man feels that he owns you he will try to kill you. 75% of women die leaving a abuse man it’s not funny it’s sad that men feel like they own you. I hope this wakes people up about this it needs to stop.

    and yes your daughter/sister can be getting beat and not saying a word out of fear. like I did for years…

  • m

    first time i ever agreed with bossips comments

  • Nizzle

    No Joke about the Domestic Stuff, But She needs to Work on hiddin’ that Stretch-Marked Navell. That’s Bossip Abbuse!!!

  • Yerr

    First of all I have a hard time believing Persia? Thats sounds a lil impossible to try to kill 500 pounds of whale blubber!!! lmbo I know I mean. I can’t stand that chick Persia at all!!!!

    And Queen Pen, how is that you are busy advocated about domestic abuse and you are at every damn party from Atlanta to NYC. Please, she’s just trying to stay relevent. Not for nothing but how heck you expect a man to respect you when you don’t even respect yourself. Puhlease!

    Oh yeah and The event commences January 16 at 4Pm at the Denim Lounge, located on 1223 Bedford Ave in Brooklyn. Low budget!

  • Black Beauty

  • OverTheTop

  • reese615

    @ Southern Belle: I don’t know if I’m shaking my head more at you, or the koon bunnies you are fighting. Please stop, so when I happen upon you in the south, you don’t have the edge of a hardened criminal. Thanks.

  • WOW

    Meeko from Detroit:

    Wtf are you ranting about? You don’t know shit about their relationship except that her ex damn near killed her. You have no reason to believe she hit him or that she “deserved” it in any way. You are just running off stereotypes about black women, but you should know the facts before you start talking shit. You sound like a wack ass coon ass nigga who is just trying to make excuses for why you like white girls or something. Fall back with that.

    Btw, your momma might be a “hoodho” for all we know. Niggas like you kill me. You so quick to judge all black women then holla out “except my momma.” Naw, nigga, your momma is a black hoodho too, let you tell it.

    i didnt mean to laugh but this is @ meko from detroit i couldnt help but laugh at what you said you’ll give the “big d” to calm a female down as sad as that sounds it’s true its nothing like hard stiff big d after an argument minus the hitting thats not cool but some females dont realize some men will beat the brakes off there ass when they try and challenge a man to a fist fight but since men know there stronger you need to walk away because you know you can do alot more damage its never ok to put your hands on a woman and alot of woman also need to keep there hand to themselves but queen pen is a used up dirty red colored cool-aid wearing hood rat who needs to start dressing her age and tone down that whore look she has a 19 or 20 yr old son and to always see her in tight lowcut tops and skintight jeans is not a good look for her a woman her shes not old by along shot but her clothing screams 16 17 18 and thats not a good look.. if shes able to speak to women about domestic violence by telling her story thats a good thing.. maybe alot of women will listen to what she has to say and get out of there situations.. queen pen has never been a classy kind of chick.. but nothing the less if her presence at different meetings will help thats good..

  • Southern Belle (everything that is good comes from here)

    @reese 615 I am not a harden criminal just a g who don’t take shit dont be scared just be prepared….if you ever saw me in you wouldn’t even know I know how to fight because I talk proper I dress great keep myself together hell I am a grown woman but aint a killa but dont push me…thanks

  • Southern Belle (everything that is good comes from here)

    oh and i aint a goon or a koon I am a boss check my resume!!!!

  • Rawr

    I never heard her music but I did like her book. “Blossom”. I wonder when she’s going to put out a new book.
    Anyway, kudos to her for standing up against Domestic Abuse.
    If a man truly loves you, he’d never put his hand on you. And the same goes for women because we got some husbandbeaters out there.
