"When I saw him do what he did, I thought 'he's crazy,'" said Alejandro De Paz, who shot video of the incident. “I looked at Waka Flocka and he was looking at it too. And at that moment I didn’t know what was going to happen. I thought he was going to ignore it like everyone else would."
Georgia Theater operators told Channel 2 Action News they take no sides on political statements and welcome artists with all political viewpoints.
They would invite the singer back again.
