It’s been well-documented that you simply don’t mess with Action Bronson, especially not when he’s busy doing his thing on stage. The internet is rife with video of Bronson schooling young men who have the audacity to think they belong up there with Bronsolino.

Bronson’s MO is to quickly dispatch these hot-heads and teach them some class, whether with a deftly executed body slam or by simply throwing them back into the crowd. Well, it seems that Action Bronson’s fans just don’t learn.

Well, either that or getting body slammed by Action Bronson is now some sort of dubious honour, up there with getting spat on by the Sex Pistols, and the latest guy just really wanted to make it to the front page of Tone Deaf.

The latest of these incidents, a fan jumped on stage with the New York rapper during a hometown show on Tuesday night. Bronson wasted absolutely no time, interrupting a performance of ‘Amadu Diablo’ to make quick work of the intruder, throwing him back into the crowd.

The disturbance didn’t even phase the rapper (guess he’s used to it by now?). After the abrupt mic drop and minor altercation, Bronson immediately launched back into rapping, only missing a couple of bars, and got back to entertaining the crowd gathered at Terminal 5.

“New York City what a fucking night!! Tmrw will be much tighter,” Bronson tweeted the next day. The Terminal 5 show celebrated the release of Bronson’s eagerly anticipated new studio album, Mr. Wonderful, which drops Friday, 27th March.
