I’m still getting emails from readers inquiring about club promoter and fitness trainer Darius Miller who was attacked by a group of thugs back in December. I don’t know Mr. Miller personally, but I hear he is out of ICU and recovering slowly due to brain damage. Please keep him in your prayers.
Yesterday, a loyal reader sent me an email detailing another brutal attack involving another club promoter named Syncere. Details are sketchy, but according to Syncere, 24, he was set up by a chick named Destinee who he met at on May 8 at Club Pure where he promotes Thursday nights.
After exchanging text messages for a few days, the two agreed to meet at a club. But prior to that meeting, Destinee informed Syncere that she had a boyfriend. At one point she said: “You seem like a great friend, I hope we can have a strong friendship for a long time since I’m taken“
Syncere invited her to his home at 2:10 AM to park her car before proceeding to the club together. As they pulled up to his driveway he was attacked by her boyfriend and another man who had been following them in another vehicle.
Syncere was stabbed 4 times and suffered a collapsed lung. He is out of the hospital now and asking for the public’s help to find his assailants.
Here’s a little friendly advice to you young cats: if you meet a woman in a club and she brings up her boyfriend within the first 15 minutes of conversation - she is not feeling you. Fall back.
Let the words “I have a boyfriend” or “I’m taken” be the last words you hear from a chick in a nightclub. If she says, “but we can still be friends,” you say, “no we can’t.” Life is too short and there are too many single chicks in Atlanta for you to be caught up in unnecessary drama.
You can read the first hand account from Syncere after the break (it’s a long read).
Posted by Syncere on his Myspace page:
At 2:20A:M Early Weds morning Atl almost lost an Angel..
I met Destinee on the night of May 8th @ Pure Atl (An Event i host Every Thursdays Night) We hit it off real well on a casual tip and ended up talking most of the night while i hosted. She seemed like a sweetheart and i admit there was a little flirting as u can see in the pic we took that night. She expressed to me she had a boyfriend, and tho no man likes to hear this, I took it for what it was and left it at that.
For the next couple days we exchanged short conversation and text messages. Nothing major. Wasn’t trying to take her out on a date etc.. I remember one conversation her saying ” You seem like a great friend, I hope we can have a strong friendship for a long time since im taken” I was flattered and all for that.
On the night of May 12th, I received a text around 11pm that read “Whats Up?” I replied “headed to the city to attend this cafe called Via and meet up with some friends” She expressed that her prior plans fell thru and wanted to see me.I told her she was more than welcome to meet me at Via right off Pharr Rd. She said “I would love to but can u pick me up off of Cascade rd, I’m not really good with directions driving in the city, and I don’t have much gas”. I Politely Declined, It was totally out of the way real late… Now Pay close attention to details y’all:
I told her i would give her gas once she got to me and i would give her presice directions..She reluctantly agreed to meet me off of 14th street which was closer.She called me at about 1:30 and said she was at the Silver Skillet and to come meet here there so she could ride back with me to the Spot..I get there around 2am. It looked like a tow zone so i said “follow me to my condo in Atlantic Station (which was 2 blocks up) Park your car there so you wont get towed, and we can proceed from there”. ( Me being considerate as always)
She follows me, I pull up and past my drive way at 2:10am to give way so she could pull in and park her car while I waited. She just stayed idle behind my car. I Signal’d from my window “Pull in that driveway”. No Movement from her.. I hopped out and headed towards her to see what was the hold up. As I approached her car, headlights were approaching from behind her car.
The car whips around us and a guy in the passenger side hops out with this crazy look on his face. He says to me, “Whats up dog? What u doing with my girl?!!” Before I could get one word out he sucker punched me on the left side of my face. Then the Driver (who is much larger) hops out with a gun in plain view. I now had a choice to make, 1) Fight back and possibly get shot, 2) Run and still possibly get shot, 3)Protect myself and take it like a man.I went with Choice 3.I Covered my face and was rushed to the concrete.They kicked and punched my back and ribs for over 5 minutes. (It was soo dark and quiet in this area). I remember yelling “I didn’t touch your girl” and he responded “yea, but you was about to!!” Destinee just watched the whole ordeal in Silence! Didn’t say a word..
I had to play dead for these dudes to stop attacking me. Once i did that they ran to their car, Destinee got in her car, and they both sped off into the same direction. I got up in a daze, but had so much adrenaline that I felt no pain.. I was looking for my phone on the ground which was knocked out my hands with the first punch. Didnt find it. I got back in my car to go somewhere other than there to clean up cuz I was bleeding on my back. I figured from the concrete or the kicks).
I got 2 blocks away and then it got harder and harder to breath. At this point I knew something was wrong. I drove myself to the hospital. I stumbled into Emergency and got checked in.. I’ll never forget when the nurse pulled my shirt up and asked, “Sir, do you realize you have been stabbed 4 times??!!??” I also had a punctured lung which required a chest tube to drain the blood and fluid out my lungs.
MY QUESTION TO YOU ATL: DID DESTINEE SET ME UP????
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE MOTIVE??
DID I DESERVE THIS??
AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO??
CLOSING STATEMENT: MEN AND WOMAN WATCH WHO YOU DEAL WITH..ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP. SOMETIMES THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER MIGHT NOT HAVE ANYTHING GOING FOR THEMSELVES AND WILL GET CRAZY TO PROTECT THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
I THINK I’M FINALLY READY TO SETTLE DOWN, I CANT WAIT TO MEET MY NEXT QUEEN. ITS GETTIN TOO CRAZY OUT HERE.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS ATL!!
NEVER COULD HAVE MADE IT, THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING MY LIFE!!!

God bless this place!
well this should be easy enough, her cell number that he was texting can locate her..even if she was doing some paid minutes crap it will still lock in..this was a setup and it must’ve have been something he did in the past for him to get dealt with this way..the guys who jumped him are ****es and the chick..aint no words for her..I hope it’s all worth it in the end..
In the words of Sandra’s Best Friend-
“I got a sister who schooled me to sh!t you chickens do.
Tricking fools, got a whole Robin Givens crew that I kick it to.
They be hipping dudes, how you chickens move, I be listening to..”
Dudes, you better listen! Quit messing with these tricky chicks!
That is horrible…this chick had to know her boyfriend was off the damn chain.
While I feel bad for the victim…once someone tells you they have a significant other FALL BACK!!! Even if you are just trying to be cool with the person…LET IT BE!!!
Anytime hits me with that “can we be friends, you are cool” line…I simply ask them “would your girl appreciate you making new female friends?”. And I don’t give a damn what response they give me either…if they going around being “friendly” with everybody that says alot about their character anyways.
^^ do what I do..say let’s call and ask her…works every time
LOL I know thats right 2bme!!! I’m most definitely gonna use that one :-)!!!
That some real bshyt. Sorry to say but homegirl probably felt the rath of dude’s hand before. I mean dayum she couldnt have said - baby stop, no that’s my friend.
That is so scary. This is exactly why you can’t be nice to people now days. If my friends and I go out we go as a group. If one of us meets a dude he meets all of us!
^^the look of pure stupidty is priceless..TRUST
oops That’s and hell yea it was a set up
i feel sorry for him..but, men let this be a lesson. stop always chasing a new piece of a**!!! that’s the problem. never d*mn satisfied with what they have…always looking for the nu-nu. then getting caught up in bs..now, his girfriend, wife, fiance, babymama, were all probably at the hospital together trying to figure the sh*t out…crazy.!!
UHHH HOW WAS HE SET UP? He shouldn’t have f’d around with her when CLEARLY she wasn’t messing wit him…
Damn thats messed up, I hope he recovers ok, and honestly dudes really need to stop with that can we still be friends shyt, I just had some dude say that to me the other day.
She wasnt cute at all (not that it matters)… I really hope they find the guys. Syncere needs to sic his girl cousins on this ho!!! Feel better, hon!!
@mochamommy that is the SAME thing i was thinking (not cute) with her lil bug eyed dookie braided self. that is besides the point.
this was really crazy. no i don’t think he was set up. just caught the h&^ up. that’s all.
Man what got me was that he was even going to give this broad some gas.
Hell I just had a dude offer up some gas and he gave me his credit card. When I drove the credit card back to his house, he got mad b/c I wouldn’t kiss him. WTF! Brah’ my car takes premium, you only offered up $35, I was on “E”. Do the math. Maybe next time you will fill it up! But thanks anyway. LOL
She set him up! You can look at her eyes and tell something ain’t quite right.
WOW .. I am glad I am ova 30 and don’t club no mo … thats banana’s .. I’ll be praying for that Brother .. Real Talk.
Syncere I pray for your swift recovery, I really do!
But in addition to you not messing with “scandlous bug-eyed chicken heads” anymore, can you start oilin’ down those ashy ass knuckles before you leave the crib. I’m just sayin’.
But with all sincerity (no pun intended) I pray that you are well, and I hope they catch these down low depressed broke ass nigra’s that did this to you.
I agree with everything being said. There are some really low-dow trifling women out here. There are actually some women that work with their men to do stuff like this. They work as a team and be out here doing dirty low-down stuff.
low-down…sorry
well i can tell you this, if a chick says i got a boy friend or i am taken and is still up in you face and willing to meet at you crib at 2 10 am. SHE IS A JUMP OFF !!! AND FROM THE LOOKS OD THE PIC, HES NOT TALL OR PARTICULARLY HANDSOME SO HES NOT TURNING DOWN PUNANNY. we the beautiful people know that what looks good or is easily available is not the best for you, i aint just handsome i got brains too. lol
“Here’s a little friendly advice to you young cats: if you meet a woman in a club and she brings up her boyfriend within the first 15 minutes of conversation - she is not feeling you. Fall back”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmm..I don’t know about that. You’re probably right that when things like this happen she isn’t feeling me as far as getting to know me, she’s not looking at me as boyfriend material BUT that doesn’t mean she’s not feeling me for the night.
I’ve met women in the club before who brought up the fact that they had a boyfriend, but at the end of the night still went back to my place. And the next day she goes: “Don’t tell anyone about this I do love my boyfriend you know.” This is something that happened to me not just once actually a few times. I’m not the only one, several of my friends have the exact same experience when it comes to women talking about their boyfriend and this and that, but have no problem spending the night with you.
Anyway I feel sorry for this guy. I hope everything will be fine.
GOD BLESS YOU SYNCERE AND MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I did that & buddy simply walked away from me… I just laughed. She knew he was followin her & thats why she stayed in the car. Anybody else with a conscience & some damn common sense would go to the police now. She’s gonna be charged with accessory to attempted murder & conspiracy. And why? Because she didnt know when to leave well enough alone. Syncere, I hope u get your life together & have a speedy recovery. Maybe now u see that club rats arent the best choice when looking for a wife or a friend. Try myspace! LOL
Wow!!!!! I would of told her if she wants to come then she was going to have to find a way to get there. It wasn’t a set up I think on the girl part but it seems like she was followed and didn’t know what to do. Note to women if you know your man is BIPOLAR don’t try him by messing with someone else. That is how you and an honest person gets killed!!
2bme says…
this was a setup and it must’ve have been something he did in the past for him to get dealt with this way
I agree 100%.I wonder what the motive was. They didn’t rob him or anything. This **** is crazy right there….I’ll keep him in my prayers.
I wish I knew where the Hoodrat was .. I’d turn trick in … 5G’s would stimulate MY economy tremdously …
dating 101, a bytch aint meeting me at my crib after telling me she has a boyfriends. when yall gone learn men are more emotional and just as crazy as women? dudes can’t take seeing their girl go off with another cat, hence this type bs. you got 25 women to every man in atl, yet we have issues like this. wtf
Doesn’t sound like a set up to me. It sounds like a case where a girl got caught out there so her boyfriend followed her. She must have realized he was following her once she got to Syncere’s condo which is why she froze and didn’t pull in the driveway. I mean, they didn’t rob him or anything, so how would it be a set up. She prob. didn’t get involved for fear of what might happen.
She’s not even cute, wow sucks to be Syncere. If his whole account is true, it still sounds shady as hell. I hope he sees a snippet of the consequences that thinking with your little head can result in.
The heffa was dead wrong for trying to go out to the club with another dude in the first place and she “had a man”. WTF. Why would you even risk that.
OH and they gone find this broad. Specially since he shouted her out on Sandra Rose. Just ask “Soulja Girl” aka “the Marta Chick”.
Sandra are you saying the girl in the pic set him up or are folks speculating?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, the girl in the pic is the one the cops are looking for.
This is Syncere Himself..First off i would like to say im overwhelmed at the love and support you ATL have shown me,both my friends,associates,and the ones i’ve never met.Your prayers have worked,im feeling great and have healed up tremendously from my wounds.
I wanted to specify to some that if you read my words carefully, i expressed that when she told me she wasnt single,i left it at that and wasnt pursuing her in that way.we were simply socializing and i was being cordial when we met.so as far as me not getting the point or sweating her (never that).
when she brought up seeing me that night, i told her to just meet me at the club..I was begged to leave the club and meet her b/c she CLAIMED she didnt know her way around atl.So thats the only reason we ended up one of my spots (so she could park her car) i didnt once invite her inside even while in my driveway.
I am a humble dude,and i have learned from this experience.i am happy to be alive and i have no hate in my blood towards the ppl who did this to me.I simply want justice and ppl to open their eyes to this situation.Every dude and woman on here has messed with someone’s chick/man before.My testimony is to say its not worth it..God bless u all and thanks for taking the time to read my story..Please email syncereent@yahoo.com if you have info or any further questions to ask me.Also the number to contact is above.Zone 5 Police Dept.
^^^^^^
good luck and feel better
Syncere24 Says: well, i’m glad you explained the situation and we didn’t have to speculate even further…good luck to you!
Syncere I hope you feel better.
With the price of gas rising daily, I would be the FIRST to turn in this chick and her crazy boyfriend.
Syncere is a bigger man. Somebody try to bodily harm me especially stab me up would have to get it in return. The chick would have a slashed face and these dudes would be paralyzed. I am no advocate of violence nor do I start it, I walk away but when I somebody brings it, it has to be finished. Majority of these ignorant n**as do not comprehend unless you put bigger pressure on you. they don’t realize the pain and agony that comes with their dumb action. That bytch to set it up or even is she didn’t she put him in this situation. She is the one with the man, she know what she wants to do, even if Syncere was pursuing her it ain’t his fault that she wanted to go see him. IF her man did this because of her, he is a bigger **** because obviously he ain’t holding it down for her to look at other dudes then plus the type dude he is he probably only attracts trash like her. So most likely they are made for eachother. Somebody will have to pay for it though. The best way is to give them something that will last for a lifetime and remind them how trifling they really are. I have no sorrow for wanna be thugs and gangstas. They are what messed the game up for everyone. They have no values, dignity or even morals. they are like wild animals with mad cow disease.
I wish I knew the broad, I had me 5K in my pocket right now.
Hope Syncere gets the justice he deserves.
