"It was an early show. I usually play at night and I've had my dinner. I medicate. I get right. It was an early show. It was Mardi Gras. I had to walk like a half a mile to get to the place."

He also claims a man was heckling him from the side of the stage during his performance. When he threw the punch, he assumed it was that same guy.

Afroman said he loves his fans and will be enrolling in an anger management program. A representative for the rapper didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
