Members of rapper Machine Gun Kelly’s entourage are reportedly wanted in connection to a brutal attack on an actor in Atlanta, US last month.
According to local media, police said that battery warrants were obtained for 28-year-old Brandon Allen, 24-year-old John Cappellety, and 42-year-old Lamar Reed.
The men are accused of beating up Gabriel ‘G-Rod’ Rodriguez on 13 September in a hotel lobby. Surveillance footage released by police appears to show the attack on Rodriguez, who was in the city filming a television show at the time.
It is currently not known whether Allen, Cappellety and Reed still work for Kelly.
Rodriguez claims the fight followed his heated exchange with Kelly at a restaurant, where he confronted him over the rapper’s remarks about Eminem’s daughter when she was 16-years-old.
TMZ reports that he accosted Kelly in a parking area outside a restaurant in Atlanta and called him a “p***y” for calling Eminem’s daughter “hot”, apparently siding with the Kamikaze artist in sympathy with his position as a father.
“I’m gonna say it because it had to be said, you’re a p***y for going for family,” he said, according to the publication.
Rodriguez claims that a few hours later he walked into a hotel across the street from the restaurant and saw Kelly with a number of his entourage. They allegedly shouted threats at each other, with Rodriguez claiming he even egged them on and told them he would fight all of them.
