A video captures a heated confrontation between T. I.'
s entourage and security at the BET Awards.
The incident took place before Sunday's award show at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
In the footage, both sides exchange expletives before a man is shoved back. T.
I. watches the altercation from a front-row seat.
A security guard challenges the group, saying, "Whatchu wanna do?" and adds, "I'll f*** your a** up!"
He is slowly pushed back as he mentions a gang affiliation and demands a fight outside.
The confrontation created a major scene in a backstage area where other groups were taking photos.
It is unclear what sparked the showdown, but the video suggests cooler heads prevailed.
TMZ reached out to T. I.'
s camp but has not received a response.
