R+B sensation Blu Cantrell has spoken of her "complete shock" following the stabbing of her boyfriend TONY DINERO outside a Paris club last week (16OCT03).

Dinero suffered stab wounds in the back of his head and eye after leaving LE CABARET MILLIDAIRE in the French capital.

BREATHE singer Blu had been performing a secret concert at the venue to celebrate her album BITTERSWEET's release, when an argument erupted between party host Dinero and a "disgruntled employee".

A statement released by Blu's publicist BETH KATZ Wednesday (22OCT03) reads, "I am in complete shock by what happened.

"I cannot believe that anything like this can happen, especially in a city like this."

Blu adds she wishes Dinero a "speedy and full recovery".

Katz didn't return calls for any further enquiries.
