Cops escorted Afroman offstage yesterday (February 17) after punching a woman on stage, during a set in Biloxi, Misssissippi.
According to TMZ, the female victim somehow got on stage and started dancing next to Afroman. Without warning, the “Because I got High” artist turned and struck the fan on her face.
“He obliterated the woman,” the celebrity gosspi site reports. Witnesses say she was bleeding and crying, but somehow she managed to get up on her own.
A fan caught a video of the altercation from the crowd. The brief visual depicts Afroman playing guitar onstage as the women approaches. Afroman twists his whole body into a right hook, directly to the face of the woman, who collapsed instantly. Shortly after, Afroman whips back into playing position and strums on.
He was later arrested and released on $330 bail. His camp says he was reacting to the lack of security at the venue and he made his swing before realizing he was about to strike a woman.
“This was a completely involuntary reflex reaction to people infringing on his stage space,” his rep said in a prepared statement. “It was uncharacteristic behavior that was initiated by outside uncontrolled forces.
The performance at Kress Live came at the heels of Biloxi’s Mardi Gras parade. The woman who was hit by Afroman filed a citizen’s arrest on the performer.
Chase Taylor, the owner of the venue, spoke to local Mississippi news to say that his security did their jobs properly.
“We had roughly 12-15 security guards in a crowd of 500 people,” Taylor told Mississippi’s WLOX. “Kress Live does not condone this type of behavior. We like to keep a safe environment, and we addressed the situation the best way we could…If you watch the video closely, you’ll see her boyfriend jump up on stage right after the hit. He was followed right behind by security. There was security at the front point of the stage and he was rotating through the crowd to get to the back,. Talking about the contract between Kress Live and Afroman, we have met every single obligation noted.”
Check out the incident below:
I haven’t heard from Afroman in years
I seriously thought he was dead. I get him mixed up with Wesley Willis.
It was what it was- an instant reaction. Bad luck it was a woman…and the security did not do its job properly because she wasn’t supposed to be up there.
That’s what I’m talking about. A black man delivering a nice fist to a white woman’s face. I want to see more videos like this.
i sparked a hoe cuz i was i high cuz i was high cuz i was high…..
Im glad he did what he did what did. Street Cred just went up.
If my mama came on stage id do the same thing
he wasnt gonna smack that female but then he got high
hahahah thats what i was going to comment
Pow! Right in the kisser!
On a serious note: Whoa, somebody still booking this washedup hasbeen?
“Because I Got High” was a loooooooooong ass time ago yo (released in 2001)
I think in the 2010s he has been performing at places like Gathering Of The Juggalos with Vanilla Ice, Ice Cube and a bunch of other has beens from the early 90s
Ice cube is a legend.You are one stupid muthat fucka
New single from Afroman featuring Chris Brown – Beatin’ Up Bitches
Best comment of the day…Chriss’s excuse, “coz I was fucked up”, Afro “Coz I got high”…hilarious mafakaz
hahahahahahahahhaha!!! lol
I HOPE I DONT HAVE TO FIGHT WITH A PUNK TONIGHT…. BAM
The bigger surprise is that he came out on stage looking like Krusty the Clown takes Hawaii.
I would have knocked this fat wannabe Jimi Hendrix out if he touch my woman, straight up! That chick’s BF went out like a sucka
If that was a white guy blasting a black girl, there’d be protests in the streets like Ferguson yo!
Shut up, white boy. The tide’s turning against white people. Knock out game, white women only haha!!
It’s cringe worthy watching this hit on a female but artists all say how security cant help them on stage and its up to the performer to take care of themselves. Hitting a girl is obviously wrong but I compare it to Action Bronson throwing ppl off stage/body slamming ppl. You gotta do what you gotta do.
people beg action bronson to toss them off stage. its an honor.
Hey, white people, how do you like seeing your women get knocked the hell out?
if thts the way she wants to go..she found out what were talking about now LOL
white people dont care. sometimes people get what they deserve regardless of skin color or sex. i bet if it was a black woman who got hit by a white rapper yall would be super mad though right
Maybe Afroman is racist? A black guy knocks out a white girl = no problem.
If Macklemore would have beat up some black hoodrat = riots, looting, rev. jesse jackson would be all over the news screaming racism.
K K K riding f*****
You jealous because we banging your chicks AND knocking em out literally?
If Marshall Mathers slapped the cheap wig off a black broad for getting on his stage World War 3 might break out with Lord Jamal leading the charge
Soooo….. you want to get on stage with a rapper who is only known for getting high and expect not to get blasted in the face? Here sweetheart, hold this L.
why would any expect that? the stoners i know are super violent like that, they’re chill and laid back not looking to smack the first person they can
That was a slap not a punch. Hand’s open from the beginning to the end. I don’t condone yet it definitely looks like reflex.
Why did this dumb woman jump on stage anyway? Honestly, she might’ve deserved it for thinking she was special. Women these days don’t think rules apply to them. Also if my girl jumped on stage trying to booty grind on some random dude it would serve her right to get knocked the f*ck out.
No Longer a fan of afroman.
and i will never listen to his music ever again after this.
