Dramatic footage has emerged of the moment well-known US rapper 'Plies' was thrown from a stage by an audience member on Saturday.

The video, captured by a fan at the Florida concert, shows the rapper on stage with several fans when one - allegedly drunk - got into a heated debate before body slamming the rapper.

A man claiming to be the unidentified attacker later said online: "When I was in high school, his manager f-cked with me. So I make my way to the front and sh-t. When I got close, security moved me back.

"Plies called me back to the stage. I’m like ‘Plies, man. What’s up bruh? I just wanna shake your hand. …I f-ck with you, bruh. You one of my top five favorite artists.’

"That n-gga start talking that f-ck sh-t. So I dropped his ass like any real n-gga would do like ‘B-tch, f-ck you, bruh.’

"Because you don’t f-ck with me, why the f-ck I’ma f-ck with you. I don’t give a damn what your record is or how real you is.”
