<![CDATA[Footage from the backstage brawl between rappers Young Jeezy and Rick Ross has been released. Though the clip is short and grainy, video footage from backstage at the 2012 BET HIP HOP Awards has emerged and it shows just how wild the brawl between Rick Ross and Young Jeezy got. It’s plain to see that Rick Ross was amped up and of course he had his shirt off during the altercation. Curse words were thrown around and a mirror was broken during the fight….but no arrests or injuries were reported.
Though it’s hard to see Young Jeezy, there were clearly two groups at war here, all in front of security!And with a bit of irony, one the first dudes to walk away from the drama was DJ Drama himself.
Meanwhile BET has released a statement about last night’s brawl at the 2012 BET HIP HOP Awards. The network said,
“BET Networks works very hard to bring the best in entertainment to the city of Atlanta. For the past 7 years BET has celebrated the true art form of Hip Hop. Due to some misjudgment of select attendees, it is unfortunate that certain incidents took place. BET Networks does not condone any type of violence. Local authorities are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.”
Although conflicting reports have emerged about just what happened backstage and in the parking lot, according to an ATL police spokeman,
“Shortly after 7:15 pm Saturday, a fight broke out in the parking lot at the Atlanta Civic Center (where the BET Awards were being taped) between two groups. Atlanta Police Department officers on scene responded to break up the fight and used OC spray in the process. Individuals fled the scene. There were no arrests or reports of serious injuries. Reports of shots fired appear to be untrue.”
There were also conflicting reports about 50 cent being involved in some type of altercation with a rapper named Gunplay but 50 was seemed to downplay the incidents from the show.
When asked what happened at the show, he simply replied, “They gave out awards.” It seems like the rapper is moving in a more positive and peaceful direction and trying to avoid the drama or just not answer questions about it.
