It’s great to see that Afroman is admitting his mistakes and he’s feeling remorse. Still not good enough, though but this is a start. What about apologizing to the girl herself?

How would he apologize to her? Not on social networking. He should give her a phone call or arrange an in-person meeting with her. Then after that, he should give her free concert tickets and invite her backstage.

If he doesn’t do any of this, I smell a huge lawsuit coming from this girl and I hope she sues him. He just committed an act of domestic violence. I understand that fans invading the stage shouldn’t happen but there are better ways of handling things. What about stopping the performance and asking them to leave?

He should get some jail time, not professional help.

I was never a fan of Afroman’s music to begin with. He’s a one-hit wonder who’s only famous for his “Because I Got High” song.

This story is getting kind of crazy. Afroman may have apologized but he didn’t apologize to the girl that he punched on stage. No mention of her at all. He just apologized for “his actions”. I repeat, “HIS”. He didn’t apologize to that female fan or his fans all-around.

Then he goes on TMZ, tells his side of the story. He claimed he thought the person he punch was that guy but you know it’s a lie.

Watch that punching video again, he saw her. He took a good look at her before he swung at her. He’s lying all the way. This video here clearly shows that he saw her, he turned his head around.

I understand how bands & artists don’t want the fans onstage but reacting violently especially when the person is female is not the way to go. Hitting women is never cool.

On top of that, I think Afroman might be a racist, listen to his song “Palmdale” below. Read the lyrics.

You wanna talk about “Black lives matter” well, white lives matter too and so does that girl of who he punched. I’m sure Afroman will get no harsh punishment, though. He’ll escape jail time and will just get something small like a “fine” or something. If he doesn’t get jail, though, there’s still no stopping of the girl suing him, though. She can do that if she wants and don’t be surprised that she does sue him sometime in the future.

This story has been making the rounds of the internet today so I would post my own thoughts on this. Afroman getting arrested during a concert at a small club in Biloxi, Mississippi for punching a female fan in the face on stage.

Sure enough, Afroman’s lawyers tried to play the innocent victim in all of this by blaming lack of security at the concert.

Yeah, I know that idiots out there are gonna blame the girl and say a bunch of bullshit that she shouldn’t have went up there to invade his space and all that crap ’cause that’s how “cliques” work.

In my opinion, it’s never cool for musicians go violent on their own fanbase.

At concerts, the artists or the bands usually allow fans to dance up on stage with them. Happens all of the time at small clubs and large venues. All bands & artists are different, ya know what I mean? Some bands & artists are appreciative of their fans dancing on stage with them and some are not.

To the bands & artists who don’t allow fans to dance on stage with them, I think it’s because their egos are just so huge that they think they are way more important than the fans. It’s like them saying, “I’m so important, they don’t deserve to dance with me”. That kind of thing.

This girl at the Afroman concert was completely harmless. She wasn’t violent toward Afroman. She didn’t hit him or try to kill him or anything, she just wanted to have a good time and she wanted to show his love for him like what all fans do to treat their favorite artists.

After that incident, I’m sure she’s heartbroken now, though. She’s probably gonna throw his CD’s in the trash and never go to a concert of his ever again — in other words, she’s gonna boycott his music probably.

All bands & artists are different with their fanbase. Some bands & artists are great with their fanbase and some are lousy with them. Turns out that Afroman is horrible with his fanbase. His lawyers will never admit it ’cause that’s what lawyers are paid to do. They’re paid to make their clients look good.

What Afroman did here was inappropriate and wrong. Violence is never the answer.
