After news broke yesterday that Afroman struck a woman on stage during a performance in Biloxi, Misssissippi, the “Because I got High” artist spoke with TMZ to offer his side of the story as well as an apology for the female fan, who has since filed a citizen’s arrest on the artist.
During Afroman’s conversation with TMZ, the rapper cited a string of personal frustrations as well as pointing to a heckling male fan as the primary reasons for the incident.
“I wanna apologize for my actions,” Afroman says. “I’m enrolling in some anxiety foundation right now… I love my fans. I go early these days to meet and greet them, hang out with them. It was an early show. I usually play at night and I’ve had my dinner, I medicate and I get right. But it was an early show [and] it was Mardi Gras. I had to walk like a half a mile to get to the place. I had my frustrations to make a long story short.
“I had a guy that was on the side of the stage, he was yelling at me, yelling some obscenities I don’t wanna really repeat,” Afroman added. “But these girls got on stage and I asked them to leave, I was trying to keep rapping. One girl left and I thought both of them left and the guy was still over there hollering from the side of the stage. So as I’m playing I’m thinking it’s the guy starting [to] heckle. When people get on stage you don’t know what they’re doing [and] you don’t know what’s gonna happen next. I’m just trying to do my job. I thought it was that guy… It was wrong.”

see how white people dont give a fuck about this white lady getting what she deserved. now just imagine all the fake outrage if a white rapper like yelawolf or action bronson or even macklemore slapped the weave off a drunk black girl for running on stage…
Good point actually. It would be national outrage.
his biggest “hit” since “Because I Got High”
so true. although Palmdale was pretty dope too
Lock him up and throw away the key.
My take-aways from when this story broke:
1. Holy fuck Afroman was nominated for a Grammy? Is this real life?
2. Holy fuck the guy that wrote “Because I got High” can play a musical instrument?
3. Holy fuck, people still go to see Afroman in concert?
He slapped the soul outta that woman
I don’t really care about the reason, whether it was intentional or not, I’m just glad he punched the smack out a white broad. Call me heartless, but white people deserve all the crap they get from black people.
Men condone other men punching women now and then try to justify it with some idiotic race baiting rhetoric.
But justification keeps fragile egos intact, justify away!
your a fucking idiot. i hope you die in a fucking fire.
Not baiting, just stating my opinion. Either white males are to afraid to be outraged or they just don’t care either. Regardless, that’s not my problem.
Why make this about race though? Regardless of color, any “man” who lays out a female full force has a toothpick for a wang. Fact.
and that’s why your ass can stay in the hood, “Black King”
he looks like a homeless questlove
Whahahahahahahaha..nikkuh!!!
He did catch that bitch tho
If a FEMALE artist were performing and a MALE fan climbed on stage and rob his behind against her and she SMACKED him, the world would applaud her and say she suffered sexual abuse on stage so she had to SMACK the offender. But when it is a man smacking a drunk ugly female for sexual harassment he gets locked up.
I think he should sue the female for sexual harassment.
If you HONESTLY believe that, you ain’t no grown ass man. Only a little ass boy thinks that. The fact is, you have height, weight and muscle on women, unless she’s some crossfit bitch, which this one clearly wasn’t. A woman is essentially a big child, physically (not mentally, etc.); to think you have the moral right to cause a painful blow to that type of body means you clearly weren’t raised for shit, you fucking child. Go tell your mother what you think. Prison bitch. What a small wang you must have, to act like that’s an equal analogy.
