It’s unclear what started the altercation but it appeared to be over in less than a minute.
Social media users joked Joey Bada$$ tapped into his Power Book III: Raising Kanan character Kadeem “Unique” Mathis.
“N#### turned from Joey to Unique real quick,” one person wrote on X (Twitter.) Another added, “He gave him a Joey WhoopAss.”
