The kickoff to the BET Awards was a video of Nipsey Hussle slapping a security guard outside the awards show early in the day.
While Nipsey went on to perform at the pre-show without anybody pulling him to the side or cancelling his performance, now The Source Magazine reports that he may be criminally charged for the offense.
The rapper now could be charged with battery if he can be positively identified by the guard from BET reports The Source.
