While reports vary, Richard Monroe, 24, attempted to hop onstage to dance and security guards for Snoop – as well as Snoop and The Game - allegedly beat him.
Monroe, who stands about 6’3, claims that some of the men on stage encouraged him to get on the stage while Snoop was performing his hit “Gin and Juice.”
Once he was on stage, Monroe claims he was attacked by at least a dozen men, including Snoop Dogg and The Game, who allegedly punched and kicked him repeatedly.
Monroe also alleges that his earrings were ripped out of his earlobes, that alcohol was poured on him, that someone hit him with a microphone and that other items were stolen.
The show was abruptly ended following the altercation on stage.
“He was beaten senseless that’s for sure,” a source that was near the fight told AllHipHop.com. “From what I saw, it appears that he actually lunged at Snoop Dogg.”
While reports vary, the entire incident was captured on camera by the same source, who wished to remain anonymous.
Representatives for the White River Amphitheatre confirmed that an altercation took place during the concert.
"The safety and security of our artists and our patrons is very important to us," Lance Miller, the amphitheater's executive director, said in a statement. "We fully support the local authorities in their investigation of this incident."
Monroe was treated at the Auburn Regional Medical Center. Reports stated he had bruised ribs and a broken nose.
The Seattle, Washington concert was one of the last stops on Snoop and The Game’s 31-date tour “How The West was Won,” which kicked off in April.
