Karrine ‘Superhead’ Steffans Reportedly Got a Beatdown From Elle Varner Over Rotimi
Now THIS is the kind of throwback tea that makes you drop your phone. Word on the street is that Karrine “Superhead” Steffans once got into it with none other than R&B songstress Elle Varner—and let’s just say Elle left her mark.
According to a former assistant of Karrine’s, the incident went down back in 2015, at the premiere party for Rotimi’s hit show Power. At the time, Elle and Rotimi were an item, all boo’d up and looking cute together. But apparently, Karrine decided she wanted to shoot her shot at the actor. And sis, she picked the wrong night and definitely the wrong girlfriend to try it with.
Elle Varner Might Look Sweet, But She’s Got Hands
Here’s where it gets spicy. Elle isn’t just some soft-spoken R&B princess who only knows how to hit high notes. Nope. Her father, who’s also a successful musician, put her in martial arts classes growing up—so while she may sing about love, heartbreak, and self-worth, she can also throw a punch if she needs to.
And according to the assistant, when Karrine got a little too flirty with Rotimi, Elle didn’t hesitate. Forget the one-piece or even the classic two-piece. Elle allegedly served Karrine up with a four-piece combo, extra crispy. No sides, no biscuit—just straight hands.
Security jumped in quickly to break things up, but the damage was done. Sources say Superhead was promptly escorted out of the party while Elle stayed put, completely unbothered, like the queen of her castle protecting her man.
The Aftermath
What’s wild is that this story has stayed quiet for nearly a decade. Neither Elle nor Karrine has ever spoken publicly about the incident, and Rotimi kept it cute and silent. But now, thanks to Karrine’s ex-assistant spilling, the story is resurfacing—and fans are eating it up.
On social media, people are gagging at the idea of Elle Varner—who has always carried herself with grace and softness—allegedly being able to lay hands when the situation called for it. Many are calling her “sweet but savage” and praising her for being able to back up her energy with action. Others are laughing at Karrine’s boldness, pointing out that she’s always been known for chasing high-profile men, but clearly underestimated Elle’s fighting background.
Superhead Stays in the Headlines
Let’s be real: Karrine Steffans has never exactly lived a drama-free life. She built a career on writing tell-all books, airing out some of hip hop and R&B’s biggest secrets, and staying at the center of controversy. But even by her standards, getting tossed out of a party after catching hands from an R&B starlet is peak messy.
As for Elle, she’s remained quiet, focused on her music, and—if this story is true—letting her fists speak louder than words that night.
Moral of the story? Don’t flirt with somebody else’s man at a red-carpet party… especially if his girlfriend’s been training for combat since childhood.
