Fight At 2Chainz Event In New York?
Def Jam was doing an event for 2Chainz, but apparently they ended up outsourcing it to somebody else. Well, what had happened was it was way too big of an event for the person to handle. There were MAD people there from the music industry – ‘CEPT 2CHAINZ! I don’t know if you heard, but 2Chainz got arrested and married is in the bing. RELATED: 2CHAINZ ARRESTED! Somebody said something wrong to the security guard and it was ON! Now, I heard this whole affair was video taped somebody so we are looking for that. Anyway, it was apparently some real “police brutality” from the security. I heard it was NUTS!!!!!! I will keep you abreast of it.
