TMZ has obtained a video of Nipsey Hussle slapping someone believed to a BET Awards employee following a dispute over where he can park his car. The incident occurred in a nearby parking lot just outside the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles where the ceremony is taking place.Ā 

TMZ is reporting that the conflict started when the employee contested that Nipseyā€™s crew couldnā€™t move a few cones to enter a restricted area. The situation escalated when the guy knocked a cone out of the hand of the rapperā€™s bodyguard, and Nipsey quickly responded by slapping him across the face.

As the guy squares up for a potential fight, Nipsey is immediately restrained by an officer while another law enforcement official stepped in between his bodyguard and the employee.Ā 

Despite initial reports that Nipsey was arrested as a result of the altercation, he ended up opening the show, performing with YG.
