Rae Sremmurd‘s Swae Lee‘s gotta be feeling pretty lucky … an all-out royal rumble went down with security ahead of his Coachella performance, but he and his baby managed to dodge the blows.
TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Swae and his entourage attempting to enter the festival grounds at a security checkpoint behind the stage … but their path was slowed by several security workers, and that’s when things got physical.
You can see Swae actually get knocked back against some fencing as all hell breaks loose … security guards swarm in like piranhas, pummeling another man in Swae’s camp. All the while, one of Swae’s guards makes sure his baby — in a big car seat — is safe.
Management for Swae tells us … “As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them. As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage.”
They continue, “The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration.”
Swae’s team says his own security did a bang-up job protecting him, and more importantly, his baby boy. When the dust settled, Swae and his bro Slim Jxmmi got onstage as scheduled to rock the crowd.
The brothers Sremm just released their “Sremm 4 Life” album and fans will have plenty of time to see them live this year … just without the WWE-style entrances, most likely.
