But it turns out that, in the end, Big wasn't too angry: Big is tight! He had a water bottle, he threw the water bottle at me, and just walks off the stage.Īccording to Kap, everyone abandoned him after the show-he even had to take a cab back to the hotel alone with all his DJ equipment. Then it’s getting bad and Cease is like, “Two hundred dollars!” And then Big, he just stopped everything and was like, “Yo! What the fuck is going on?!” I’m looking and my records look like a piece of bacon back there.
