Majah Hype Accused of Domestic Abuse By Ex-Fiancée

By Lillian Searles

Brooklyn based Caribbean comedian, Majah Hype, whose real name is Colin Nigel McPherson, has been accused by his ex-fiancée of abuse during their relationship.

 

Latisha Kirby has come forward with allegations against the comedian, as she took to social media to share her ordeal via a lengthy Instagram video, claiming he abused her “for a long time”.

 

She apologized to her friends and family who she said she isolated herself from because she was left unrecognizable after being beaten by McPherson and couldn’t answer her FaceTime calls, as she hid the abuse that she says has been going on for years.

 

In the first video posted on Wednesday, Kirby, without identifying her abuser, spoke about her ordeal.

 

“What I’ve been going through, the average person doesn’t go through that in a whole lifetime. I’ve been keeping it a secret for a long time. Hiding abuse is a full-time job. You have to detach yourself from your loved ones, so they don’t know. I did that for a long time.”

 

“Imagine having to hide your bruises, and you’re being battered from your family, imagine after being abused and assaulted, you have to console the person that hurt you because now they’re distraught. They want to harm themselves. So now you don’t have the chance to heal, you don’t have the chance to be upset. Imagine after going through all those things, you still have to have sex, you’re still expected to be delightful like there’s nothing wrong with you when your face is unrecognisable.”

 

She followed up with a second video after she alleged that McPherson leaked a sex tape that she said was 10 years old. 

 

She said the comedian smashed her phone and even illegally accessed the files on her device.

 

Latisha pleaded to McPherson, that what he was doing was wrong, also telling the entertainer to tell the truth that he did not have a heart attack and pulled a gun on her that same day.

 

Kirby spoke directly to the comedian in relation to the release of the video.

 

“I am not playing a game,” said the mother of one, “this is my life and you are trying to ruin me.”

 

Majah Hype has lost 100,000 followers on Instagram following allegations that he abused his ex-fiancée.

 

The comedian’s Instagram page went from 1.2 million followers to 1.1 million in the last day after he was accused of physical abuse.

 

Majah Hype gained popularity as a comedian and social media star in 2012 after he started making sketches poking fun at Caribbean culture and people.

 

Last week, he was hospitalised in Atlanta and revealed to fans he had suffered a mild heart attack.

 

He has not yet responded.
