Shordie Shordie made headlines over the weekend after punching a fan who allegedly threw up gang signs at him during a concert.

The Baltimore rapper confronted the fan during a performance at the El Rey Theatre in Chico, Calif. While performing on stage, a man holding a red bandana began throwing up alleged gang signs at Shordie, who responded by punching the concertgoer in the face.

A member of the rapper’s entourage then punched the fan, causing him to fall to the ground. Security broke up the fight and escorted the fan out of the venue.

On Saturday, Shordie Shordie took to his Instagram Story to defend his actions.

"On that incident that occurred last night, that was not no fan,” he said in the post. “That was not no female. That was a disrespectful ass n***a who needed his face slapped. And we did that. That's how it go."
