Slim Jxmmi was reportedly caught up in a street fight in New Zealand Thursday.
Footage published by TMZ Thursday alleges to show the Rae Sremmurd member involved in an altercation in Auckland. In a recent Instagram Story update, Jxmmi is seen with an ice pack on his wrist.
A separate report from the New Zealand Herald includes more info. Jxmmi was reportedly seen talking to police following the fight. He is reported to have had "blood on his forearm and torso." One man, who has not been named, was reportedly stabbed by an unknown party using a broken bottle. Per a witness, the altercation began after someone on the street "called out to" Jxmmi and the group, at which point a "verbal confrontation" ensued. As Jxmmi and the rest of the group attempted to walk away, the witness added, they were "attacked."
Yet another alleged witness, one who claims to have been directly involved, told the Herald that the fight happened after he took objection to Jxmmi and company’s alleged decision to record "a homeless man who had been drinking." Thus far, one person is confirmed to have been transported to a nearby hospital with "serious" injuries.
Jxmmi appeared on his Instagram Stories to give his thoughts on the media always running with negative headlines.
"I wake up to the blogs promoting this story of me getting into a little street fight in New Zealand. Y’all wasn’t so hyped to post me sending 10 kids to college, but y’all motherfuckers want to post this fight to get y’all followers up. And y’all lame as fuck," he said before deleting the video.
Complex has reached out to a rep for comment. See footage of the incident below. According to early reports, no arrests have been made.
Jxmmi and Swae Lee are currently overseas for a run of SR3MM-promoting shows in New Zealand and Australia. Next up, the duo is slated to perform Friday at the Logan Campbell Centre in Auckland.
