11:25 AM PT: A new video of the fight has surfaced on social media.
Funkmaster Flex got into a wild altercation with another man during Tuesday night’s Knicks vs. Sixers game at Madison Square Garden, and it was all caught on camera.
Flex posted the footage on Instagram early Wednesday, after the incident broke out in a crowded area of the famous Midtown Manhattan arena.
In the video, Flex, dressed in all black, appears furious as he rushes across the room to confront the other man. Chaos follows as Flex gets physical with him and bystanders scramble for cover. In the end, security and an NYPD officer push Flex out into a hallway and try to calm him down.
In the caption of his post, Flex wrote in all caps that he had missed the part where he got punched in the face, responding to speculation that he had been assaulted.
He went on to claim that the other man, who he says works for a record company, wanted Flex to punch him first so he could sue. Flex also alleged that the man insulted him and threw a drink on him.
Reporters reached out to the NYPD, which had no information on the incident. Reporters also contacted MSG and have not yet heard back.
