Over the weekend, R&B crooner, August Alsina took to social media to accuse fellow performer, Tory Lanez of attacking him as he was leaving a show in Chicago.
The two acts are part of the Fall Back in Love Comedy & Music Jam created and hosted by comedian, Rip Micheals.
Alsina took to social media to share a photo of himself with a bloodied mouth while describing the incident and revealing that Tory punched him simply because he would not speak.
