Dr. Dre involved in brawl
Permalink Closed

SANTA MONICA, California (AP) -- A fight broke out near the stage at the Vibe awards ceremony as rapper Snoop Dogg and producer Quincy Jones were preparing to honor Dr. Dre., and one person was stabbed, authorities and witnesses said.


Dozens of people sitting near the stage Monday inside a hangar at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport began shoving each other as the show wound down about 7:30 p.m., a photographer who covered the event for The Associated Press said.


News video showed chairs being thrown, punches flying, people chasing one another and some being restrained.


It was unclear if the stabbing preceded or followed the fight. The victim, a 26-year-old man, was taken to a hospital and was listed in stable condition.


No arrests were made.


Witness Frank Williams told KCAL-TV that Dr. Dre was involved in the brawl.


"I saw Dr. Dre fighting somebody," Williams said. "I don't know if he was fighting back. But there was a guy taken out basically bloodied."


Andrea Ferguson, employed by a public relations firm that worked with Vibe for the awards ceremony, called the incident a "disruption" but declined to provide details. She added the show was allowed to continue but it was halted for about five minutes.


Dr. Dre, who was scheduled to receive a Vibe Legend Award for his lifetime contributions to hip-hop, had not come on stage yet when the fight erupted. Jones and Snoop Dogg stood on stage without saying anything.


"My understanding is that it was somewhat chaotic in there," police Lt. Frank Fabrega said in a press conference following the fight.


About 1,000 people attended the event; some scurried for the exits when melee began.


"It's really important that we don't take a negative incident like this and do away with the awards," Suge Knight told reporters.


The show was taped Monday and was expected to be broadcast Tuesday. R&B singer Usher led the awards with five nominations, followed by Alicia Keys, who has four nominations.


Vibe magazine focuses on urban culture and entertainment. The awards are voted on by music journalists and "regional tastemakers."

You just can't have a peaceful gathering anymore. These rappers need to check their egos. Isn't Dre almost 40 years old now? Somebody please explain why grown ass people would behave like 12 year olds.

*Just a little warning to those that will be attending the Bad Boys Christmas party. Samora will be chief of security and this type of behavior will not be tolerated. Any sign of trouble or acting up and you will be thrown out and embarrased in front of everyone. Thank you and good day to all.


Big up to the Bad Boys Crew members all over the world!

To add to the Dr. Dre topic, I saw on the news late last night that a member of G- Unit had a warrant for his arrest on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. Just thought I'd let you guys know what I saw and heard about it.
