During the conversation, Kid asked the group if they saw the Chappelle incident. This was when Barnes mentioned that he was at the location and starts narrating the entire incident. And, he gave emphasis on how Chappelle’s show was no holds barred and that he was going after everybody at the show.
Barnes then described how the attacker got on stage and charged at Chappelle. He said, “It was at the end of the show. So it almost seemed fake. It almost seemed like damn they’re gonna do a little stunt out of this. But it was real. So the motherf**ker went his way up to the front. Jumped up, ran and tackled him and Dave kinda dodged it a little bit.”
In between Barnes’ narration, Tyson exclaimed, “He got f**ked up.”
After Barnes finished narrating, Tyson gave his thoughts on the incident. He said, “Ni**as will f**k with people. That’s just what it is.”
Tyson also added that it will always be the same at shows.
