From what the video appears to show is 50 Cent and his camp backstage walking somewhere when all the sudden the fight breaks out. Tossed like a rag doll is MMG signee Gunplay. From what the audio at the end of the video states a man can be heard saying that Gunplay was to blame for the attack because of trying to sneak attack 50 Cent and run.
I can’t lie I feel bad for the guy but you have to wonder if this is normal behavior for someone of his background? At an award show you try and fight 50 Cent when he’s with all this security? It just doesn’t make any sense. In fact, that has to be common sense. Then again this is behavior from a guy who openly admitted to having drug problems. This also raises concerns if the between G-Unit and MMG is once again a priority in 50 and Ross’ agenda. Check out the clip below.
Almost forgot…what do you think of Tony Yayo possibly being one of the best if not the best hype man of all time? In concert this man is on point with 50 Cent bar for bar and knows how to play his position. Top it off, he springs into action and says the same ad-libs (provides authenticity) that he does on the track. I’ll be honest, it was my favorite part of the video.
