Hip Hop Nerd Throws Down
Posted by Bossip Staff
Travis McCoy, Gym Class Heroes frontman, was in a bit of a scuffle last night:
“Hip Hop band Gym Class Heroes was in the middle of their set on the Warped Tour in St. Louis Missouri, when frontman Travis McCoy got into an onstage scuffle with an audience member. According the RollingStone.com, the band had just finished their first song when the unnamed man called McCoy a “fucking ignorant n**ger.”
“Travis invited him onstage with the intent of calling him out in front of the crowd, with absolutely no intention of a physical altercation,” said the band’s manager Bob McLynn. “When he tried to help him onstage, the guy hit Travis in the knee area, forcing Travis to defend himself. At this point, a scuffle broke out.”
McCoy’s defense of himself reportedly included breaking his microphone over the man’s head. The entertainer immediately apologized to the crowd, saying, “I’m sorry. But when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone.” The crowd cheered as the unknown man was escorted away by security. The frontman was arrested by police onstage at the end of the set, reports Rolling Stone. He was release on $500 bail then following morning.”
Damn. The brotha got arrested for defending himself? Ain’t that a b**ch. F**k it, we gotta give buddy boy mad kudos for thwacking that racist retard upside the head.

i think Travis is sexy..despite this funky picture Bossip put up..second i’d rather see him with a hotter chick than ordinary Katie Perry
Bossip is this comment better for you?
Oh Bossip, the guy who called him that WAS BLACK! So if that dude is racist, then so are half of the people you put on here
Dude looks like if he took out his earrings, it would have a smell.
But I do LOVE his album!
Trav is my nigga now. Police is a mutha! Why cant I bop this racist muthafucka one time!? fuckin pigs….
I cant tell you how many muhfuckas deserve to get bopped with a mic… too fuckin many
i originally called Kaite ‘homely’ but Bossip blocked that comment! THANX !!

There would have been some furniture movin’ ‘round there…
WHO CARES, HE DESERVED TO GET ARRESTED!
Yes, the dude who called him F-ing Ignorant N***** WAS BLACK. Either Bossip is stirring trouble or just didn’t know. Rollingstone.com couldn’t should have wrote, N***A instead of N***er, because we all know that hip hop is A-OK with the former.
That word is disgusting regardless of how or who says it.
IF HE HAD BEEN IN TEXAS…
HE COULDA SHOT THAT MO-FO & KEPT GOING!!!
ARRESTED???
IJM…
You know I gotta get it….nobody is here and Im bored as shit…
THE DEVIL HIMSELF…
I remember taking this pic and I was chillin’…
Hey BOSSIP you see the story in MARYLand where a man killed a cop and was found strangled and reportedly only guards where in contact with him what happened to a fair trial its not midevil times anymore
LOL AT TRAVIS PULLING A T.I AND CRACKING HIM WITH THE MICROPHONE. DUDE TRIED TO SLEEP ON HOMIE, AND GOT CLOCKED. (LMFAO)
my sister was at that show and she said the dude who said it was black.
i didnt think travie had such a temper, but those are the ones who always suprise you.
still waiting on THE QUILT to drop.
GO TRAVIS!
I THINK THAT THE DUDE THAT CALLED HIM A NIGGA WAS BLACK!
SO…I DON’T KNOW!
IM NOT SAYING IT IS RIGHT, BUT I MEAN..HOW MANY BLACK FRIENDS THAT HE HANG AROUND CALL HIM NIGGA?
IS IT HIS FIRST TIME?
IF THE PERSON THAT CALL HIM A NIGGA WAS WHITE..THEN IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY!
@ Da Truff Hurtz
Ur so right, the police here wud have just turned their head and played dumb while somebody escorted him off the stage.
I always did like Trav…
bossip, Travis is not a nerd. hump!!! that’s my mayne tho…he stay flyy.
I like this guy!

Travis did the right thing and busted dude over the head he had no right to diss him and even put his hand on him.
GO TRAVIS!!!!!
Travis got the juice now!
Whether he was black or white…don’t matter. He disrespected this dude at his own show? GTFOH!!!! I would have bopped him too except it would have before/during/after he got his butt on stage. Let’s not forget dude did say he was gonna call him out first. Ole boy just stole him in the knee and he had to go for what he knew. Nope, can’t be mad at all. I just can’t understand why in the world the dude went to the show in the first place???????
I have a crush on Travis. I actually bought their real cd instead of the two-click discount, bc he is soooo cute.
lmao@ Roe
WHAT IT WAS
WAS THAT HE HAD TO DEFEND HIMSELF IN FRONT OF HIS WHITE FRIENDS..
THEY PROBABLY WAS LIKE ” OMG..ARE U GOING TO LET HIM SAY THAT TO YOU..IF THAT WAS ONE OF US..AND THAT IS ALL OF THE GUNFIRE HE NEEDED TO BEAT DUDE’S ASS! PLEASE
THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME HE HAS BEEN CALLED A NIGGA BY A BLACK DUDE!
@num1dominicano
You’re very handsome. Lemme see a shirtless pic of ya
Bossip wrote…”Damn. The brotha got arrested for defending himself?”
Lol I don’t feel sorry cuz this type of “brotha” probably don’t like “sistas” anyway!
So why should I care if ‘Mr.YT’ calls him a ni$$er?
I apologize on behalf of my hometown. Travis should have beat his ass!
If I was that nigga in the crowd I’d of called him an ignorant Ni**er too. Look at him, he’s a fagget. He’s lucky security was there otherwise he probably woulda got his ass kicked by the nigga in the crowd. Bossip is slippin callin dude ignorant racist when he was black too, look at that picture the guy is an ignant ass ugly fagget hope he gets shot
If ol’ dude didn’t like Travis why did he pay to get into the concert to see him and his band? Was if free?
Team Travis!
it was a big concert with lots of acts, obviously that fagget as nigga ain’t headlining nowhere, I bet he sucked off a couple cops at the station to get out on bond early
Travis is my man(along with Chris Brown)! He should have busted that man upside the head for talking sh*t
@Illuminatitheprince f*ck you yas bastard! Go eat a D*ck
Travis could get it…
…we could grease each others scalps for foreplay
Travis needs to learn about “Tolerance”
He stooped to the other guy’s level.
SMH at Travis, and at Bossip for agreeing with his actions.
I always like the music of the Gym Class Heroes, BUT when I actually LISTENED to the lyrics of the song, TAKE A LOOK AT MY GIRLFRIEND..with skin like porcelain,(WHITE) I was IMMEDIATELY turned off. Travis actually deserves some of what he got…You can’t play it both ways. He has a girlfreind now with porcelain skin(WHITE), and still being called a n—er. WOW!!!!! Looks like you can’t change everybody, and oh yeah, maybe if you weren’t trying to be something you’re not, maybe just maybe the results would’ve been different..SO until then TAKE A LOOK AT MY GIRLFRIEND, SHE’S THE ONLY ONE I GOT LA LA LA !!!!
This is a case of ‘you’re black again’. I’ve seen three videos from Gym Class Heroes — they either diss black women (Cupid’s Chokehold), and/or up white women at the expense of black women.
That whole band can go off somewhere, sit and spin.
By the way, did the dude who yelled at him call him an ignorant ‘n-ggER’ or an ignorant ‘n-ggA’… cuz there’s a difference, particularly if as Common Sense says the dude who called him that was black.
The RACIST in reference is BLACK. He called Travis a nggr and Travis reacted.
always knew

=============================
I totally agree with you.
I got the same feeling about that 112 song ‘Peaches and Cream’, though. Sometimes I feel like I’m alone on that one.
Anyway the song is screwed up alright. The chorus is definitely suspect all by itself, no matter who the female is, like he can’t get a better chick — la la la la. Just offensieve. When he said ‘porcelain/of course she’s a 10′, I actually thought maybe they were Linkin Park wannabees, white and asian dudes doing hip hop. Nope, the singer is black. Eff him.
Imagine my surprise to find that out though, when I pull up the video on youtube. And not only that, he’s got like three different girlfriends before the white chick, and the girlfriends start out ebony dark and get lighter and lighter…………. and the living conditions go from most ghetto to more acceptable with each girl………
I couldn’t even stand the little cupid black kids, given what happened in the video. And the theme repeats itself in the three videos I saw. I think the last song I listened to them was ‘Viva La White Girls’.. concert footage.. of course, all the white girls in the audience were thrilled as punch at the words of the title, even though Travis claimed the song wasn’t about anything except music (whatever). On the other hand, Lil Wayne did put out a decent remix. Ugh.
That’s why this story is stupid to me. Suddenly, Travis is ‘hip hop’, he had a ‘keeping it real goes wrong’ moment. He’s ‘black’ now.

SO…I DON’T KNOW!

=============================
See, exactly. And that’s also something to think about, what you theorized about why he really called dude up on the stage… because of his white friends. That’s an interesting hypothesis.
but we’ll see as more information comes out. if it does.
@ sexy thang
the nigga looks like a broke light skinned steve urkel with some tats and piercings. I could one punch that fagget
He just got mad because he didn’t like that a guy implied that he was black. He only attacked the guy because he didn’t want black people at his concert. Somebody needs to pull that uncle tom as nigga’s nose stud out. YOU AIN’T LENNY KRAVITZ NIGGA
So what if Travis like white women he half white (or some shit) his damn self! And I believe he like black women too he had black chicks in his viedos.
Viva la white girls is about DRUGS. Jesus some of you people are f-ing thick. It’s not about his love of white girls (though black rob had a song about that back in the day). And so what if his girlfriend is white, does that mean he can’t like being black or not want to be called the N word?
Dude is half white, so just because he’s half black he has to join the f-ing nation of islam? Get over yourself, has Halle Berry forfeited her right to be offended if she’s called a racist insult because she’s with a white dude?
There should be a rule that people have to sit down and think for 10 minutes before they post. It would reduce the idiocy on this site significantly.
And he probally called dude up on stage to check him for disrepecting him like that while he trying to put on a show. Like Kanye put the spot light on dude & had him kicked out for throwing shi*t onto the stage. shit disrectful plain and simple.
This Dude is white. Why did he get offended? he fucks white women and hangs with predominantly white people. he doesn’t deserve it, but should expect it..
You can fuck white girls. Just follow the rules.
1.Don’t bring them out before 10 p.m.
2.Don’t bring them around black females.
3.Always use a condom, unless she has a trust fund.
4.Don’t ever give her your full name.
5.Get Adhesive Numbers from Walgreens and change your address daily.
you should never stoop to the level of some idoit racist.
he fucks white dudes not white women so I don’t get why y’all upset. I heard he sucked off pete wentz from fall out boy, so he returned the favor by talking about how this fagget ass uncle tom is his boy and shit. FAGGET
I am not being racist. Yes, I know Travis is a half-breed. For me, the problem came in when he had a dark black woman in his video, and the girlfriend was not acceptable until he traded her in, again and again for a white one. There’s nothing wrong with you sell-outs dating white women, just not at our expense. I could care less if half-breeds all over the world,unite! I am already married and happy. Always keep it true. We are both very successful entrpreneurs and I just don’t like that every race is put in front of ours. I really don’t care if it offends the black/ half breeds that are doing that. The question remains: WHY IS IT AT OUR EXPENSE? I still think it’s even funnier, now especially since it was a brother calling him out. I don;t condone anyone calling anyone a n***er, however, again, HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT!! TAKE A LOOK AT MY GIRLFRIEND, NEVER SEEM TO HAVE A LOT!! LA LA LA…I HOPE THE DUED HE KICKED OFF, FILES A LAWSUIT FOR INJURY!!!HAHAHAHA!!!! (HE GETS UPSET BEING REMINDED HE’S NOT ALL WHITE?! TO THE POINT OF USING VIOLENCE? HE DESERVES WHAT HE GETS!!!!LA,LA,LA……..
travie is awesome. and so are nerds. get off me.
@ always knew
preach, testify!
I’m half white half black, but i ain’t mad at anythang you’re sayin there. And ya a lot of molato dudes fuck mostly white bitches. But this nigga is an embarassment to any race that he thinks he’s a part of. I hope this fagget ass nigga sprays his noodles all over his mattress like his wanabe kurt kobain ass should
Who cares if the guy who called him that was black…that doesn’t give him the right to call anybody out of there name..obviously he was there to cause problems if he hit him first…even if it was in the knee..stupid. If anybody called me something rude I would be defensive…and if someone hit me in the knee..its ON!
Travis is sexy in a geeky way..I’m happy he broke that mic on dudes head.
Are you all aware that this was a BLACK MALE who called him a n!gger???
SMDH – now if it had been a white girl who called him a n!gger he’d wanna fuck her.. It’d be perfectly ok as it is with Paris Hilton – but the black male gets fought over it!!
LOL!!!
@illuminatitheprince:
Um…you know what your deep level of homophobia REALLY says about you, don’t you?
smdh
i have to agree with you on that!
Travis makes my body warm
i love himmmm
I hate white people.
Fact
you are so cool. but i just found out your secret that you have joined
an online club ^^^^ ukblackfriends. co m ^^^^, by which you are seeking
a sexy girl for extramarital relationship. (针对男明星)
personally i dont care what name someone calls me. i’ve been called a lil bit of everything except a hoe. again words don’t bother me because i define me and i know who i am. however, like travis, once you put your hands on me consider me a beast because i would….Lord Jesus help me.
He has two giant boogers in his nose – wtf?
THAT’S MY NIGGA !!!!!!!LOL

========================================
…
you know what. f-ck it. i’m out.
u know, it be dark days indeed, when a nigga can’t call another nigga, nigga, without gettin’ clocked in da head with a mic. In fact, it’s kinda ironic, considerin’ the offended party is a rapper, whose career is based on bein a nigga and addressin everybody as nigga or hoes…Like i said before, dark days indeed.
travis never uses nigga in his songs, but on his FOE blog and videos he calls his cousin, tyga, nigga and say my nigga this and my nigga that. i think he was just upset that someone who he didnt know would actually call him a nigga, in a derogatory way, to his face. his girlfriend is white (katy perry) and he has white friends but that doesn’t make him any less black. the day people in general stop categorizing and isolating themselves is the day we become a better world.
godspeed
It’s racist that he was arrested for defending his self. It’s a shame how justice really translates into “just-us white people”. If this happened to me, dude would have not only got the mic and the mic stand. There are times when you turn the other cheeks and times when you have to stand up!
I agree with you Adrian, byut that shit aint gon ever happen ni**a= homeboy or homegirl these dayz.
sorry typo ‘but’
But its the same way with the word bitch. I call my homegirl a bitch all day but let a stranger call her one she would be ready to go to jail.
that guy deserved it!
yeah he totally deserved it!
Always New, you’re def on point. I was thinking the same thing… it is never good to be called a term made up by imbeciles…
Black women , should basically evolve like black men. Black men aren’t confine to black women, so why should we confine ourselves to the black men. It’s really sad, we have Rick Ross proclaiming his love for Spanish Broads, in his songs and videos, we have every R&B and Rap artist, rocker having nonblack women in their videos. We see them on interviews, talking about how sexy a nonblack woman is, yet we still silly enough to buy their products, listen to their music. I’d say , evolve, move on. I can’t wait until the day when Keisha Cole or another have a sexy nonblack man in their videos as the love interest. Black women seem to be more closed minded than the black man, and it’s sad.
Common Sense,, I fucking love you man.
–Travie is the shit and a half.
Hell’s NO!!!!!!
oooooommmmmmm
thas right Travii.. bust em in the head til the white meat show
