Run the Jewels Attacked Onstage at Spotify House (SXSW)

Run the Jewels are currently in Austin, Texas for SXSW, and yesterday (March 16) just got real for them. During their Spotify House performance, a man walked on stage and tried to punch Killer Mike, at which point Mike quickly defended himself and then El-P and the security guards rushed the man off stage. Mike then started a “f*** boy” chant with the whole crowd, towards the man, and he got rushed off the premises.

After the whole commotion, El-P tweeted, “thanks to everyone who watched us rock the @Spotify house! sorry for the brief interruption.”
