Mcgregor splashes out at MTV awards
Fighter rows at awards bash
I only fight real fighters... I certainly don’t fight Vanilla Ice white rappers CONOR MCGREGOR ON HIS ROW WITH MACHINE GUN KELLY
Conor mcgregor has labelled musician machine Gun Kelly a “little Vanilla ice rapper” following a scuffle on the red carpet at the mtv Video music awards.
The MMA star’s row comes after the pair were held back by security at the Barclays Center in New York.
Mcgregor, 33, was joined by his partner Dee Devlin while the rapper arrived with his actress girlfriend Megan Fox.
The Dubliner insisted “nothing happened” and said he didn’t even know who Machine
Gun Kelly was.
The fighter told Entertainment Tonight: “Absolutely nothing happened.
“I don’t know. I just showed up and
I don’t know.
“I don’t even know the guy to be honest with you.
“Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean. I certainly don’t fight little Vanilla Ice white rappers.
“I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”
US website TMZ claimed the clash happened after Mcgregor asked the musician for a photo but was shunned.
Sources told the publication that MGK then pushed Conor who stumbled and spilled his drink, before reportedly throwing what was left of it at the singer.
The clash was captured by onlookers as Mcgregor appeared to lunge at the singer after a few choice words between the pair.
He didn’t appear to be able to get his hands on the star as security pulled him away.
Mcgregor, who was using a cane after suffering a leg break, took to the stage to award Justin Bieber his artist of the year prize.
MGK was also quizzed about the alleged altercation but refused to comment.
