An actor claims to have been ambushed at a Buckhead hotel after a heated exchange with rapper Machine Gun Kelly at a nearby restaurant, reported Channel 2 Action News.
Gabriel "G-Rod" Rodriguez was at Twin Peaks Restaurant on Piedmont Road Thursday night when he met the rapper, known for his rivalry with rapper Eminem.
He told Channel 2 that he had a problem with Kelly since the rapper called Eminem's daughter "hot as (expletive)" in a tweet when she was just 16 years old.
Rodriguez took out his phone to record before giving Kelly a piece of his mind.
"As a father, I understand you're boosting," he told the news station. "The rappers drink all the time and come and go, but as a father, I have to tell you, when you bring family in the beef and you talk to the kids and his wife, it's really loose.
The restaurant manager asked Rodriguez, who appeared recently in an episode of "Chicago P.D.", to leave. It was only hours later, as Rodriguez was returning to the Hampton Inn across the street, that he had had a violent confrontation with members of Kelly's team, he told the Atlanta police.
There was another exchange with a group of people on Kelly's tour bus.
According to a police report, the hotel's surveillance footage shows that four men are suing Rodriguez in the hotel lobby.
"In the video, you can see a tall black man with a bald head and a gray shirt coming up behind Mr. Rodriguez, lifting him from his feet and slamming his body to the ground," the police said in the report. "Once on the ground, you can see another black man with two other white men kick and hit Mr. Rodriguez.
The man who slammed the actor would be Kelly's bodyguard, police said.
"It's a coward to get his gorillas out of my sight," said Rodriguez, who was in Atlanta filming a TV show at the time of the attack.
When agents arrived at the hotel around 2 am Friday, none of the attackers was still there. Rodriguez had "serious wounds on the right side of his face" but refused to go to the hospital, police said.
A witness on the rapper's team told the police that Rodriguez had started the fight. He said Rodriguez taunted the group on the tour bus, telling them, "I am also a fighter" and "I will beat you all one by one".
Rodriguez told Channel 2 he was ready to continue.
"I'm going to drop my lawsuit, everything disappears when he signs a waiver and he meets me in the ring," Rodriguez said. "Whatever rules he wants to use – the MMA rules, whatever. I will drop everything if he meets me one-on-one. "
Channel 2's attempts to reach a Gun Machine Kelly representative failed.
