Last week (March 1), Former NBA All-Star, Steve Francis was the victim of a chain snatching during a sold-out Sauce Twinz concert in Houston, Texas. The TMZ-released footage shows Francis being violently yanked to the ground then stomped in the chest during the on-stage altercation.

HipHopDX spoke with Sauce Twinz manager, Sauce Diddy (who is also known as Kisobama) about the situation. According to Sauce Diddy, “Steve Francis was pretty much drunk and people were trying to get him off stage beforehand.”

“In that altercation it wasn’t really no altercation,” he says. “It was just somebody taking it upon theyself and trying to take that man’s necklace while we were defusing him arguing with one of the artists. He didn’t know who was who. One of my artists was getting on stage to perform and he was trying to stop them from getting on stage. Why he was doing that, I don’t know. That’s how he end up arguing with people. The altercation had nothing to do with us. That was another person taking it upon theyself to try to do some sneaky shit while we were trying to defuse another situation.

“It wasn’t premeditated.” Sauce Diddy continues. “Our people weren’t trying to make it bigger than what it is. It’s just an unfortunate situation that happened at a Sauce Twinz concert.”
