Rappers Young Jeezy and Rick Ross fought backstage at the taping of the BET Awards in Atlanta Saturday, triggering a wild brawl in the parking lot.
First Words Were Exchanged, Back Stage
The hip-hop heavyweights — and their entourages — exchanged words and shoves inside the Atlanta Civic Center before the beef spilled outside,
witnesses told the Daily News.
Absolute Chaos
“It was absolute chaos,” witness Christina Collins, 31, said. “Jeezy’s people and Rick Ross’ people were brawling.”
Police Hit The Scene
Atlanta cops arrived about 7 p.m. and squirted pepper spray to break up the fracas, authorities said.
No Injuries and No Shots Fired
There were no serious injuries reported or arrests, and despite reports to the contrary, no shots were fired, authorities said.
