Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ was arrested during a show of his in Australia this weekend after he reportedly struck one of the security guards in the face, breaking their nose. The security guard says he thought that Joey wasn’t authorized to be on the stage and stopped him before his performance to check his credentials then Bada$$ punched him in the face and went to perform his show. Following the performance Joey was arrested and spent the night in custody. The guard was taken to the hospital for further assistance. This morning Joey’s rep issued a statement saying "There was a misunderstanding with security at the Byron Falls Festival show, which resulted in charges being laid by NSW Police. After fully cooperating with Police, Joey was granted bail and entered a plea of not guilty to the charge."
