Stevie J Goes Down Hard In Street Brawl

Last month, Stevie J almost fought Nick Cannon over Mariah Carey during a Wild N Out taping.

While there were rumors that altercation was staged, there was nothing staged about what happened to the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star outside of a Charlotte, North Carolina night club last weekend.

Stevie J, who is wearing the red hat, is punched from behind and goes down. He says the incident began when club security threw somebody out. Since Stevie was hosting the Empire Lounge event, the disgruntled patron and his posse went after him upon being ejected.

J. says he was uninjured in the brawl, but that his buddy FreddyO suffered a head wound. He also denies reports his van was shot up later in the night.

Oh, Stevie J!
