Now that some of the smoke has cleared since the wild night at the Vibe awards, a few things have been straightened out in the aftermath of the magazines second annual awards show. Dr. Dre indeed got attacked on his way to the stage to receive his legend award, which caused a fight in the audience area. He was reportedly approached by a man pretending to ask for an autograph when he began punching Dre. Members from the G-Unit (including Lloyd Banks, Game and 50 Cent) rushed to the aid of Dre and all hell broke loose. Chair tossing and punches were thrown and at the end of the scuffle many fingers were pointed at long time Dr. Dre nemesis Suge Knight. But according to www.mahoganygirl.com
“…they turn the monitors back on and who is the camera pointed at??? SUGE KNIGHT. Who was just sitting there at his table not moving an inch. LOL I mean they left the camera on Suge for like 10 seconds for no reason… and he didn’t move a muscle…” and continues “Suge starts talking about how people would blame him but…‘He had nothing to do with this’ He gave Dre props and said that tonight wasn’t the night for something like this…”
While initial reports indeed stated that Suge may have had something to do with the attack on Dr. Dre, he has since denounced any involvement whatsoever.
Dr. Dre proceeded to receive his award, while looking shaken up from the attack, and stated “No one’s gonna stop me from doing what I do.”

Another issue that was up in the air was the reported stabbing of an individual during the fight. The reports are now a fact that a young man was stabbed during the fight and now police have issued a warrant for the arrest of G-Unit’s Young Buck for his suspected involvement in the stabbing. Buck was one of three men seen on a videotape of the fight with a knife (which makes you think how did he get a knife in there in the first place) and is said to have attacked 26 year old Jimmy James Johnson. Johnson was rushed to the hospital suffering a collapsed lung. He is in stable condition. Young Buck has been asked to turn himself in but has yet to respond to the accusations.
Later on in the evening Jadakiss, Anthony Hamilton, Styles and Common took to the stage to perform the hit song “Why” as Common put an exclamation point on the night with his final lines “Why did O.D.B. have to meet the lord?/why did we (have to) come and rip it at the Vibe awards?” Why indeed.
