Earlier this week, it was reported that Brazilian funk MC Daleste was tragically shot in the middle of a performance in the city of Campinas, Brazil. According to initial reports, Daleste was stricken in his abdomen mid-show before immediately collapsing and causing chaos in the building. Since the shooting, the MC's father has gone on to explain, "It was envy. Jealousy kills." While we extend our deepest condolences to Daleste's family and fans, we decided to take a look back and realized that on the rap front, it's nothing new for a show to quickly get out of hand, often resulting in a brawl between a performer and his/her fans. From the A$AP crew mobbing out on concert attendees in Austin to Action Bronson body-slamming an aggressive fan, here we've compiled a list of rappers who have brawled at their own shows.—Written and compiled by Imani McIntyre.

Yelawolf Punches Fan, Santa Ana, CA

Midway through a performance in Santa Ana, Alabama's own Yelawolf is approached by a fan who accidentally knocks Yela down. Unsure of how else to handle it, Yela gives the fan a clean right hook. Problem solved.

Action Bronson Bodyslams Fan, Boston, MA

Just a few weeks ago in Boston, a fan hops on stage with Action Bronson, who then promptly bodyslams the kid and keeps rapping. Come on, dude. It's Action Bronson. Did you really think you could take him?

Odd Future Attacks Fans, Detroit, MI

After fans toss out some glass bottles at Odd Future during a show in Detroit, the boys hop into the crowd and start scrapping with anyone who gets in their way. In all fairness, Tyler does warn them.

Kid Cudi Punches Fan, Vancouver, Canada

As a packed Vancouver crowd sings along to Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness," a not-so-happy Cudi unplugs his earpiece and jumps off stage and punches a fan, who apparently threw a wallet at Cud mid-performance.

A$AP Mob Attacks Crowd, Austin, TX

In the middle of a SXSW showcase performance, A$AP Rocky apparently got his rag stolen. After asking nicely for the crowd to return it—or to at least stop throwing things at them—someone else threw a bottle at the Mob and they quickly retaliated. Let's just say that asking only gets you so far.
