Professor Green insists his altercation with a fan at a recent gig was just "rock ‘n’ roll".
The 30-year-old rapper was caught on camera getting into a scuffle in the middle of his gig at Durham University’s Student Union Welcome Ball earlier this after a member of the audience shouted abuse at him and he can’t understand why there has been such a fuss over the incident.
He said: "I don’t reflect on things like that. Y’know, someone abuses you and throws their hand up at your face and then someone says that you slapped them and I’m like ‘What?’. It just happened…
"What’s happened to rock ‘n’ roll? Hit music used to be hitting people over the head with chairs, I don’t understand why it’s all become such a big thing."
The ‘Remedy’ hitmaker recently released his first new music in three years and is thrilled to be back at work.
Speaking about his return to music at the MOBO Awards in London last night (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "The next video I’ve got is going up on Monday. I’m just happy to be releasing music again, it’s nice to feel like I’ve got a job again."
Following the row at the beginning of this month, a representative for the rapper, who is married to reality TV star Mille Mackintosh, confirmed that the star had got into an altercation with a fan during his set and the student was later escorted off the premises.
The spokesperson said: "During Professor Green’s live show at Durham University on Friday night, a student verbally abused Green repeatedly and then went to strike him. Green reacted. The student was subsequently escorted out from the venue for being too drunk. Green carried on the show to perform his full set."
