A sergeant for the San Diego Police Department informed the news station the victim was treated for a non-life-threatening injury, a detail that contrasts the information X shared on Snapchat.

X, who never names anyone in his social media posts, stated the entire incident was a set up, which he explained in an Instagram Live video. He also stressed he has no plans for retaliation and was not involved in anything that happened to his attacker.
“If y’all seen the video of them fuckin’ niggas running on stage, that shit was set up,” X said. “The venue set us up … I’m not retaliating. I ain’t doing nothing. Whatever happened to them, I don’t got no involvement. I’m letting everybody know from now. I have zero involvement in what happens to that nigga.”
As of Thursday (June 8), no arrests have been reported following the stabbing incident.
