Kylie Jenner's boyfriend Tyga is facing accusations his stage crew had a hissy fit and pounced on members of the electronic dance music trio Cash Cash early Saturday.
A rep for the EDM band claims the fur started flying after Tyga
postponed the time he was set to perform on the Inception at Sea cruise
traveling from Miami to the Bahamas.
The new time overlapped with the previously scheduled set for Cash Cash, and Tyga's posse turned vicious when it was time to leave the stage, the rep said in a statement.
"One member of Tyga's touring crew hit Jean Paul Makhlouf of Cash Cash
in the face following a verbal altercation when Tyga's crew refused to
leave the stage after the promoter called Cash Cash to start their
already delayed set," the statement said.
"Makhlouf suffered a concussion (and) injured kidney, alongside bruises
to his head and body following the scuffle," the statement said.
"A Tyga crew member was then filmed kicking Jean Paul
in the ribs, while another Tyga crew member slammed him to the ground,
punching and kicking his head and body while on top of him," the
statement issued Monday continued.
Band member Samuel Frisch was also shoved during the melee, the group claims.
Cash Cash
was unable to perform due to the alleged assault and was "forced to
miss their following show to recover from the incident," the statement
said.

"Last night JP

Thank u to everyone who helped out. JP is recovering," the band said in
a Twitter post Saturday.
"We are extremely bummed we couldn't play for our fans and were
completely disrespected by @tyga and his team. More on this coming
soon…" the band said in another post.
"Videos are coming soon so you can see how barbaric and uncivilized
some people can be," a tweet that included a photo of Makhlouf's injured
face said.
Makhlouf appeared to have red abrasions and bruising on his forehead, temple and cheek.
Reps for Tyga had no immediate comment.
A source told the Daily News that the promoter "was very helpful with facilitating security and assisting Cash Cash in the aftermath of this unfortunate incident."
