Wiz Khalifa has been defended by Bootleg Kev after the rapper went off on two Los Angeles DJs during a concert in Los Angeles on Friday (July 29).

The Pittsburgh native called DJ Mike Danger and MC Tron “horrible DJs” and offered to fight them after they wouldn’t play music off his Multiverse album, which was released that same day. With Wiz receiving backlash for his actions, Bootleg Kev provided his side of the story along with video footage in a series of tweets posted on Monday (August 1).

“Let’s clear up this Wiz shit,” he began. “I was there with him, & the dj & host TERRIBLE. After fucking up his performance (4-5x) he finally snapped. I’m not condoning him slapping the hat off or none of that, and I know he regrets that. But so much led up to that point.

“Context is IMPORTANT. After they abruptly cut the first record off & had some weird echo effect shit going on he stopped and was NICE. In this video he’s saying ‘let’s get on the same page, y’all got too many cooks in the kitchen.'”
