In the Instagram footage, he begins by explaining that he did not provoke the situation at all. “I’m going crazy, I got the crowd going crazy, I’m mid-joke,” he explains in the video. He then explains a guy walks on stage and he embraces him thinking everything is cool.
“That n*gga on stage he like, ‘Whats up n*gga,’ and I’m like bro you tripping,” he explains, adding that he moved away from the man. The aggressor then knocks his hand, and Young Fly explains it was lights out for him after that.
He furthered, “By the time they woke his a*s up and sent him on his way, I told everyone to sit down and enjoy the show!”
He then thanked his Oakland audience for being a good audience despite the minor mishap.
Thankfully, Young Fly’s one-hitter saved the night.
