AceShowbiz - Young Buck has denied that he was high during a fight with Afroman's crew. The "Because I Got High" hitmaker blamed the former's drugs and alcohol use for his alleged "aggressive" behavior that led to a fight during a show in Virginia on Monday, June 26.
After TMZ published footage of the incident on Sunday, July 2, Afroman decided to address the matter on Instagram. According to the musician/comedian, he "didn't even know he was going to be there," while posting a brief video of the former G-Unit member lying on the floor. The person filming was heard saying, "N***a up there faded, high off cocaine," while someone wrote over the video, "Coke cane A hellava drug young bucc."
In the caption, Afroman detailed what led to the incident, claiming that the Cashville Records founder was behaving "hostile" with his entourage, including his up-and-coming artist Lil Sodi. "I am anti N-Word Young Bucc yells out fucc all n-words who don't do drugs," the Los Angeles native wrote. "He was behaving, hostile and aggressive."
The 48-year-old elaborated, "We were on the right side of the VIP section. He entered the room going to the left side of the VIP section yelling, all kind of insults. He changed his direction and walked bacc over 70 feet He walked over to my socials media photographer, and with a bacc hand strikes him in the side of his stomach. Then he moved on over to Lil Sodi, calling him n words, and telling him to do drugs as he was calling him, the N-word."
"Young Bucc bacc handed Lil Sodi in the stomach," he went on alleging. "Lil Sodi thought he was really drunk, and he tried to checc him verbally with a shove. Young Bucc would not go away, and he kept advancing so the altercation occurred. We came to sing we didn't see Young Bucc on the flyer we didn't even know he was going to be there my employees felt violated, direspected and the staff needed to do more to control young Bucc plus get him out of our environment."
Afroman ended his caption with some advice for Young Buck. He penned, "Young Bucc is my blacc brother. Young Bucc is my brother in Christ. Young needs to stop punching people he don't know in the stomach. Young Bucc needs to control his alcohol and drugs. If he's going to be out in society, he needs to be civil. I forgive Young Bucc. I'm praying for Young Bucc God bless you brother."
Young Buck responded to Afroman's claims by insisting that he was sober. "thanks but no thanks for your prayers," he wrote in the comment, before sharing his side of the story. "Listen closely. I don't do drugs. I wasn't drunk. I was entertaining. ... I ain't punch yo homie in the stomach. I tapped him to move over to meet u my guy."
The 42-year-old added, "Your homies became aggressive and tried to swing on me. I did what any real one would have done and defended my self. ... Fighting all 4 of ya homies I came out with out a scratch on me. ... All this I was outta control talk is BS. I might have appeared outta control...but was and always in control as possible. ... Man I'm to old for the BS...but these hands work cuzz."
The Nashville-born rapper also took to his Instagram Story to defend himself. "Listen @ogafroman I take all fades thug...wit u or ya n***as," he claimed. "Y'all n***as try to jump me tho. I came to show love. N***a this #Cashville first...and always NH60!!! They should of told u I got hands thug!! Come see what s**t do."
Meanwhile, Lil Sodi has backed Afroman's story. He said that he heard Young Buck "yell 'Im off mushrooms' the whole night" and that he "didn't get a swing off." In the comments section of Afroman's post, he wrote, "THE TRUTH HURTS SOMETIMES. BUT YOU GOTTA RESPECT A MANS SPACE ESPECIALLY IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT PERSON. WE CAME TO DO OUR SHOW AND LEAVE. WE BLACK MEN NO NEED TO BE OVER AGGRESSIVE , THATS NOT HOW YOU GREET A STRANGER AND YOU DONT GOTTA LIKE ME BUT YOU WILL RESPECT ME. ORANGUTAN."
