Rapper Wale Explains Fan Fight At Monday’s RAW

Apr 2, 2014

UPDATE x 2: Rapper Wale spoke with MTV News about his altercation with a fan during Monday’s episode of WWE RAW. As previously reported, the fan apparently began heckling Wale which escalated into the rapper punching the guy in the face.

Wale said of the fight, “It was just a dude that was like, ‘I’mma kick your ass. I better not see you here’…I was like, ‘Yo, is this you?’ And one thing lead to another, and I just kind of mushed him a little bit. Honestly, if there wasn’t kids right there, it would have went a little bit differently, but I just wanted to be conscious of them. It’s not to say it was the right decision. But in the moment, you know.” “People get it misconstrued,” he went on. “Like, ‘Oh, you’re so butt-hurt.’ It’s not even that. I come from a place where when we was at the lunch table and n—as was jonesing on each other, I’ll respond. I’m gonna have something better, too. And now we’ve come to a place where, if you respond, you’re a bitch. Somebody could say ‘F— you’ 100 times, if I say ‘f— you’ back, then I’m a bitch. And people be like, ‘You’re famous, you shouldn’t care.’ “

He added, “I care what people say because I try to be a man of the people. I just don’t understand, [in] society, why we champion people like that in this day and age. I remember when people used to admire real people that stand behind their words or are stand-up men. I come from that. I had to address him as such. It wasn’t nothing really serious.”

UPDATE: Here is the latest on rapper Wale punching a heckler at RAW on Monday night from Washington, DC.

Apparently the fan and Wale have had some sort of Twitter “beef” for awhile now and the fan has been calling the rapper out via Twitter. When the fan arrived to RAW and took his seat, he spotted the rapper walking to his own seat. The fan then began tweeting Wale, basically telling him to “come get some.” One of his tweets (seen below) said the following: “Did wale just walk by me!? Nahhh b he better come collect this fade. You at Monday night raw fuckboy? Come see me in the ring and catch this stunner “

Wale obviously saw the tweets and asked the fan where he was seated. The rapper then approached the fan and this led to a fight between the two. You can view their tweets below:

ORIGINAL: The following is an article from TMZ.com:

Rap star Wale PUNCHED A GUY IN THE FACE at a WWE event Monday night — and judging by the way security rushed in to break it up, it appeared to be 100% REAL.

It all went down at “Raw” in Washington D.C. — TMZ spoke with eyewitness Jawn Murray from AlwaysAlist.com who says Wale was sitting right behind the announcers enjoying the show … when some fan seated nearby began taunting the rapper.

Murray says Wale eventually got up out of his seat and “the next thing I know Wale is putting the smackdown on dude. Punched him dead in his face. It was a full fight.”

Security rushed over and broke up the fight — and took everyone involved into a hallway. Moments later, Wale returned to his seat and began snacking on popcorn like nothing happened.

We’re told the other guy is also back in his seat.
