Backstage Brawl at Summer Jam: The Truth About C-Black's Altercation with the Dream Chasers
Manage episode 490600200 series 3524499
Ever wonder what really happens backstage at major hip-hop concerts? The recent Summer Jam Hot 97 event became a hotbed of controversy when footage emerged showing an altercation between C-Black and members of Meek Mill's Dream Chasers crew. Now, for the first time, the young cameraman who captured that viral moment speaks out.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, 20-year-old content creator MP takes us behind the scenes of Summer Jam, revealing how C-Black invited him backstage to network and build his brand. With remarkable candor, MP describes meeting hip-hop heavyweights like Jim Jones, Meek Mill, and Jadakiss before witnessing the confrontation that would soon dominate social media feeds across the culture.
MP dismantles several widely-circulated claims about the incident. According to his firsthand account, C-Black wasn't overwhelmed by thirty attackers but actually "gave them niggas so much of their money" in the fight. He categorically denies reports that C-Black had dreads pulled out during the altercation, calling those statements "all cap." Most surprisingly, MP reveals he never intended to share the footage publicly—it was accidentally sent while exchanging texts about Summer Jam content.
Throughout our conversation, MP's remorse is palpable as he repeatedly apologizes to C-Black and takes "full accountability" for his role in the footage becoming public. Despite the fallout, he expresses continued respect for C-Black and even recounts how simply mentioning C-Black's name had opened doors for him with other artists just days before the incident. The interview provides crucial context to a viral moment that had previously been shaped primarily by speculation and secondhand accounts.
