I’m pretty sure this is how the Biggie/Tupac war got started. Shits getting real in the world of boy bands. Aaron Carter, younger brother of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, was allegedly jumped yesterday in Boston for being on ‘New Kids Turf’, referring to Boston based boy band New Kids On The Block.
Carter posted pictures of himself on Twitter and Instagram with a bruised knuckles and a black eye, which are medical terms for ‘you just got knocked the fuck out’. The NY Daily news reported that a group of men (or would it be boys?) approached the singer, saying “I heard you’re doing a show here tomorrow. This is the town of the ‘New Kids’.” before allegedly jumping Carter.
It’s true, I got my ass jumped last night. But I’m a soldier.. Errrrr

Carter claims he held his own, taking a few shots before retaliating, writing on Twitter, “I’m a 6th degree black belt in Muay Thai.. they lost.” Like we’re supposed to believe this from a little white kid whom alleges this video to be fact.
Some thoughts on this situation: It’s really creepy to still be calling these guys boy bands. New Kids on the Block’s first hit came out before I was born. They’re all pushing 40 years old. Most of them have lost whatever look they were going for. And none of the lyrics sound right coming out of guys who look like they do.
I went to school in Boston. There are some people on those streets who will get into fights over basically nothing. I’ve seen fights over Yankees hats, parking spots, being looked at the wrong way, getting a beer spilled on you, really anything. But I can assure you, their are no young street toughs walking around fighting over New Kids On The Block turf. There’s no one protecting the turf of a 25 year old boy band. It’s not happening.
So, now it’s onto what really happened because this is obviously bullshit. Even the quote sounds like straight bullshit. “This is the town of the New Kids.” Who talks like that? Its like some 1700′s gangster shit.
But anyway – what really happened? I think our most plausible answer here is drug deal gone bad. Aaron Carter is not on that level of superstar where drugs come to him. He probably went to the streets, asked around, pulled out a wad of cash, and got cracked in the face. The next would be if he wore some sort of stupid chain that someone just couldn’t resist to snatch off his neck. He’d lose all his boy band street cred. The last, but definitely not least likely answer, is someone saw Aaron Carter walking down the street and just couldn’t resist the once in a lifetime chance to punch Aaron Carter in the face, because, hey, wouldn’t you have to at least think about it?
Talk all the shit you want, it won’t make a difference in my day I assure you.
