Sexyy Red Arrested In Newark After Alleged Airport Brawl: What We Know

Sexyy Red found herself in handcuffs and behind bars early Saturday morning after a brawl at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The outlet reports that the incident involved Sexyy Red and her entourage clashing with another group, resulting in a chaotic scene that ended with multiple arrests and injuries.

The Incident Unfolds

Surveillance footage captured the melee, showing a few men initially crashing into the frame and engaging in a fistfight at one of the airport terminals. Moments later, a woman that appears to be Sexyy Red, believed to be the woman in a red bonnet, appeared on the scene. Rather than physically joining the fray, she grabbed a nearby stand, brandishing it as a potential weapon. Although it seemed she was ready to use the stand, Sexyy Red didn’t make contact with anyone. Fortunately, someone intervened, pulling her away from the tumultuous situation before it escalated further.

Airport personnel and security quickly responded in an attempt to control the chaos. The surveillance footage shows a flurry of activity with individuals shuffling in and out of a terminal door. Eventually, law enforcement arrived and detained several participants in the fight, including Sexyy Red. According to the Port Authority, Sexyy Red was arrested for disorderly conduct. Meanwhile, a couple of others involved in the fight faced assault charges. The victims of the altercation were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Aftermath

In the aftermath of the brawl, Sexyy Red addressed the situation on social media. She informed her followers that she had been released from custody and offered to replace the phone of the individual she had an “altercation” with at the airport. Her demeanor suggested she was maintaining a positive outlook despite the incident. 

The incident occurred just a day before Sexyy Red took on hosting duties at WWE NXT. Though she still made it to the gig and did so gleefully, the altercation could’ve certainly played against her favor. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case and she hardly seemed to stress at the event.

While TMZ confirmed that the woman in the video was, in fact, Sexyy Red, the “Pound Town” rapper seemingly refuted these claims. In response, she shared a post on her Instagram Story where she appeared to deny being the woman in the video. “DAT WASNT DF ME,” she wrote alongside a selfie where she’s showing her middle finger.

Conclusion

The altercation involving Sexyy Red comes shortly after she released her latest project, In Sexyy We Trust. The rapper’s undoubtedly reached incredible heights over the past few years, taking her from the depths of online obscurity to one of the hottest women in hip-hop right now. Unfortunately, incidents like this highlight the unpredictable nature of fame, as well as public scrutiny. Though there isn’t much other information available, we’ll continue to keep you up to date on the latest news surrounding Sexyy Red.

Sexyy Red Speaks Out After Alleged Arrest For Newark Airport Altercation

Sexyy Red is one of hip-hop’s biggest exponents right now, and it’s no secret that the gap between her core fanbase and her casual hype-chasers is growing with this rise. Apparently, this led to an unfortunate situation at the Newark airport over the weekend, as authorities reportedly arrested her due to an altercation with fans and security. Moreover, one of the theories and allegations floating around online is that Chief Keef’s rumored boo confronted a fan for taking a non-consensual picture of her and her bodyguard. Also, it’s unknown whether officials also arrested other members of her entourage due to a video that she published online at around 5:30AM local time.

Furthermore, Sexyy Red let fans know that authorities released her from custody, presumably shortly after the incident, from a crowded vehicle. Also, she wrote the following message on her Instagram Story: “To the people that was in that altercation at the airport please dm me so I can replace yo phone !!” As such, we still don’t really know what went down with the St. Louis MC and whether or not this is fully accurate. Either way, she was quickly back online to show love to Drake’s IG, so it seems like things wrapped up pretty quickly if something actually caused a scuffle.

Sexyy Red Reportedly Arrested Due To Newark Airport Situation

Of course, this could be a big roadblock for any artist, so hopefully this alleged situation doesn’t escalate further and already resolved itself. At least, once Sexyy Red replaces someone’s phone, that is. Elsewhere, though, she’s looking forward to applying more pressure this year through more moves and collaborations, including a teased one with the aforementioned Chief Keef. The “Grape Trees” duo has been filming a music video as of late, presumably for that very same collab.

With all this in mind, we can’t wait to see what else Sexyy Red does with her 2024 and we hope that it doesn’t involve any more contentious fan interactions or security issues. She’s very proud to be one of the hottest femcees out right now, and it’s a status that we’re sure she won’t let go of anytime soon. With a project and various other releases already set in stone, this stamp on the year is already established. We’ll see what else Sexyy adds to that repertoire.
