The Baton Rouge-based artist wound up for the attack, taking a step back before lashing out. 

Heavies ran on to the stage but it's unclear what happened to his victim.

A three-second clip was posted by TMZ, clearly showing the assault, while Hip Hop Facts and DJ Akerdemics both posted a clearer, nine-second video on their Twitter pages.

A few girls standing in front of the stage kept grabbing him, but he shook them off before losing his temper and going after them.

The rapper's security pulled him back from the crowd and the show continued.

But a short time later, he mixed it up with a girl on the side of the stage. Despite the ruckus, TMZ reported that no cops were called.
