Gucci - "We all was stayin at the same hotel and before I could even get to the hotel one of my best friends, Yo Gotti called me and says "Yo they just Goddamn beat the sh*t outta Papoose down here and they was talkin sh*t while they was doin it and he just sittin there listenin." Yo Gotti said they swarmed on him like Spanish Bees they just swooped down on him."
Papoose Security;
An armed security guard known simply as "Lou" was assigned to protect Papoose by the event promoter. Mike B Lou states that he was also in the room during the fight and explained the following to HHW;
"Fat Joe walked in the room and said to Pap "Yo we got a problem." Pap said "whatever." Fat Joe was in the living room area and some Terror Squad dudes was by the room door. There was like five of them (not including Fat Joe) and Pap was in the Kitchenette area. Joe starts heading for him (Pap) but I step in like "Yo I know yall got a problem but it can't be with him (Pap). My partner says he saw one of Joes people with a gun on them and someone screamed out "Gun!". I put my hand on my gun but we diffused that. Then one of Paps peoples got brave and pulled out a .45, someone from JOes camp took Paps associates piece from him and beat the sh*t outta him with it. Then everyone bumrushed Pap and I don't know how he got out of there (room) but he (Pap) did. Imma tell you like this, there was blows being thrown in front and behind me. I was trying to break it up. Pap and his man were behind me so I didn't see who was swinging. I couldn't tell you who was throwing the blows but they was definitely throwin em."
