Puerto Rican reggaeton star Hades66 was left covered in blood after a glass cup was thrown at his head during a concert at Amok Discoteca in Palma, Majorca. The incident caused several cuts to his face.
Security intervenes
After the attack, Hades66 – real name Ángel Yamil Santiago Vázquez – stopped the show and attempted to enter the crowd. However, security held the 25-year-old rapper back, preventing him from wading into the mass of people.
Brawl breaks out
It has been claimed on social media that several of Hades's companions then attacked the man they suspected of throwing the glass. Videos circulating online appear to show a brawl breaking out at the club, forcing the 1,200 clubgoers to evacuate, according to The Sun.
Police arrested one man following the incident who had allegedly punched another attendee and injured his mouth.
Rapper's statement
Hades was purported to have shared a statement on Instagram Stories. The statement, via Google Translate, reads: 'I challenged him to a fight—I got out of the VIP area and went looking for him, but he hid; then, just as I was leaving, he tried to start trouble with my guys. Whoever steps out of line is going to get dealt with, anywhere in the world—like it or not. Everyone at the show knows what happened and how many times I asked to settle it one-on-one, but since he likes to talk trash and then hide his hand, he got exactly what was coming to him.'
Fans react
The video of the glass hitting Hades has gone viral, being shared and retweeted thousands of times. On Reddit, the clip received thousands of upvotes and left fans stunned. One user commented: 'He could have lost an eye or worse???!!! What is wrong with people?' Another said: 'He was lucky he was not more seriously injured.' A third added: 'What the hell… people act like their actions have no consequences. Boy, you belong in JAIL.'
Others questioned why the venue was serving drinks in glass cups rather than plastic. One user explained: 'I'm a venue bartender, and we never serve anyone in glass. Some shows we even have to pour out cans and twist the lids off plastic bottled beverages. This is why.' Another said: 'As someone who goes to concerts/shows nearly once a month, there's a reason that thin, plastic cups are the norm. I miss my pint glasses/bottles, but if the odds of an artist getting glassed goes down, I'll drink my expensive beer out of plastic… so antisocial. Don't assault people, especially ones you paid money to see.'
Metro has approached Hades66 for comment.
