So we were on Late Night with Jay Leno, and back then, The Arsenio Hall Show was the show.
And so, uh, we're backstage, and we had been opening for MC Hammer, and the day that we were on Arsenio Hall, we knocked them off of number one, and we were number one.
And so back in the, the entourage and everybody, "Look, we're not opening for you.
Y'all are opening for us." Well, a fight came out, and that's really was kinda my role, too, is if there was, if there was a scrap, I was gonna be right in the middle of it.
So the drugs, the party, the, all that was really kinda, I wasn't security, but I kinda was.
And so yeah, a fight went, everybody went to jail but, but MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice.
Nobody came to get me out of jail, so I had to call my dad in Texas and let him know what happened, and he wasn't happy.
