UPDATED: State Sen. Chappelle-Nadal Comments on Run-In With State Rep. Jamilah Nasheed

State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, of University City and State Representative Jamilah Nasheed clashed at a 'Lil Wayne concert Sunday night at Scottrade Center.

According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch the two politicians were in a corporate suite, when they had a run-in. Chapelle-Nadal told University City Patch that she was a guest of Ameren UE and was "trying to relax" at the concert when Nasheed came into the luxury box and "starts yelling my name. I kept trying to ignore her."

Chappelle-Nadal said she walked down to her seat when "Jamilah came down to our seats and started yelling at me. She continued to harass me when I'm trying to watch the concert." 

"She was relentless. She kept calling my name and poking at me," said Chappelle-Nadal.

At 8:20pm on Sunday, Nasheed who represents part of St. Louis City (District 60) tweeted, Senator Nadal said to me-"If I had a knife I would cut your (expletive) throat." Seven minutes later, Nasheed tweeted "The only thing I said was Hi."

Chappelle-Nadal told University City Patch she never uttered those words. "I absolutely, absolutely, positively deny that. I would never say anything like that. That would never come out of my mouth."

Chappelle-Nadal told the Post that she told Nasheed: "If I was mentally unstable as you suggested, as you assert I was, I would have done something as criminal as you did, when you went to jail and stabbed someone." 

Nasheed has been open about her troubled past, which included time in a juvenile detention center for stabbing a rival gang member.

Nasheed released a statement Tuesday that said, while the two politicians are on opposite sides of the local control bill, and have been at odds about it, Nasheed stated, "at this point I would like to end any personal differences and disagreements with the senator." She added "There are simply too many pressing issues at stake in our city, state and our country for us to have any other focus than our communities."

 Nasheed is in favor of local control, while Chappelle-Nadal opposes it.
