A fight broke out Friday afternoon in West Hollywood, two days before Sunday’s annual BET Awards in downtown Los Angeles, involving the entourages of rappers Safaree Samuels and Meek Mill.
Deputies were dispatched to the 600 block of North Robertson Boulevard near The Abbey in response to a disturbance, yet the assailants and any victims of the disturbance had left the scene, according to a watch commander at the sheriff’s West Hollywood station.
Video footage from TMZ shows Samuels talking to an acquaintance, telling him “that you different in L.A.,” when a black SUV pulls up and someone from Mill’s entourage attacks Samuels, who dodges a few punches thrown by someone who appears to be with Mill’s security detail.
The man does land a few blows that caused no real damage, as Samuels was able to get away, with the assailant running in the opposite direction.
Following the attack, and while riding in the backseat of either an SUV or limousine, Samuels, in an expletive-laced tirade posted on Instagram, challenged Mill to “meet him anywhere, one-on-one, while he’s out here, this weekend.”
Both Mill and Samuels used to date rapper Nicki Minaj.
It’s interesting, the rent a cops that seem to patrol the Boys Town Bars are out in force, flash lights in hand, attempting to direct the patrons in cars on Santa Monica Bl. in front of the bars and Robertson outside of The Abby to move along and not park or stand waiting for their friends promptly at 2:00AM until clear. Meanwhile on La Peer outside the former Factory with Sheriffs monitoring the situation on Monday nights one can observe crowds and cars in the street to well after 3:00AM. Have the low life even scared the Rent A Cops… Read more »
Wrong area for that type of crowd. Try South Central.
Can’t wait for The Factory to close down for the Robertson Lane project. In addition to the Abbey and the noise our neighborhood hears from them the second biggest issue for sound is the Penthouse and the other club underneath (not to mention the trash crowd that it drawers).
I don’t know what type of club it is but it seems to attract the black community on the La Peer side of the Factory on Monday nights. Everytime I pass therei observe is two or more Sheriff Units monitoring the crowd from inside their patrol units. Double and sometimes triple parking seems to be the norm. What ever these patrons are up to one can observe no Taxies parked on the street there as opposed to several on Robertson.
aww the Factory, just like House of Blues. Let’s tear it down already.
