Puerto Rican reggaeton star Hades66 was left covered in blood after an audience member hurled a glass cup at the stage during a concert at Amok Discoteca in Palma, Majorca. The incident left the 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Ángel Yamil Santiago Vázquez, with multiple cuts to his face.
Concert halted after attack
Following the attack, Hades66 stopped the show and attempted to enter the crowd, but security held him back, preventing him from wading into the mass of people. Social media claims suggest that after the incident, several of Hades's companions 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 arrest one man
Police arrested one man following the incident who had allegedly punched another attendee and injured his mouth. Hades66 purportedly shared a statement on Instagram Stories addressing the event. The statement, translated via Google Translate, read: '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.'
Viral reaction and fan concerns
The video of the glass hitting Hades66 has gone viral, being shared and retweeted thousands of times. On Reddit, the clip received thousands of upvotes, leaving fans stunned. One user, haubenmeise, commented, 'He could have lost an eye or worse???!!! What is wrong with people?' Suspicious-Peace9233 added, 'He was lucky he was not more seriously injured.' Another user, eepcatler, said, 'What the hell… people act like their actions have no consequences. Boy, you belong in JAIL.'
Questions over glass cups at venue
Some questioned why the venue served drinks in glass cups rather than plastic. A user named KillerTofu-187 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.' Supermodel_robot added, '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.
