An Orlando concert of rapper Young Jeezy reportedly turned into a massive brawl when dozens of angry fans transformed into a violent mob after being apprehended by security at the concert venue.
Hot on a promotional trail for his latest work, “Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition,” Young Jeezy stopped in Orlando, Florida at the BB Kings Blues Club on Sunday for a concert. The event started out calm and cool, when suddenly it turned into a massive brawl. During the show, fans reportedly became violent and threw drinks, mic stands, and chairs when security asked some of them to move back from the stage.
According to sources who were present during the brawl, a group of rowdy fans resisted apprehension from the security, then started talking smack to the security personnel. Tensions grew, until someone in the crowd hurled a drink at the stage, which then ignited the brawl. Suddenly, everyone started fighting and throwing things such as chairs, bottles, and even a mic stand.
Young Jeezy went on the loudspeaker and tried to break off the massive brawl by calming everyone down, but his efforts went in vain as the crowd refused to yield, so rapper Jeezy and his entourage decided to exit through the back before someone got hurt.
Eventually, the massive brawl died down. No major injuries from the crowd have been reported. However, sources close to Young Jeezy said that the rapper was”very upset” with BB Lings Blues Club security because he felt they should have done a better job controlling the crowd.
The day after his Orlando concert, Young Jeezy posted a defiant message on his Twitter page, saying, “F**k what you heard and damn who told you. Everything 100 (good) on my end! One time for Orlando, y’all were turned up (great). I’ll be back sooner than later.”
