It seems that Cash Cash and Tyga (of all people) are about to be involved in some serious beef. Both acts were set to perform at Inception at Sea, a festival/cruise that travels from Miami to the Bahamas. However, according to Cash Cash, things turned ugly minutes before their set.
The group took to Twitter this weekend to let their fans know why they had to cancel their performance that day, claiming members of Tyga’s team assaulted them, resulting in some substantial injuries to Cash Cash member Jean Paul Makhlouf. Cash Cash claims to have a video of the incident, saying that they will release it soon with more details on the incident. A rep for Cash Cash made a statement to Billboard today, which can be read below along with the original tweets.
Early Saturday morning members of Tyga’s touring crew physically assaulted Cash Cash during an altercation backstage at Inception at Sea cruise festival. Members affected include Samuel Frisch, and Jean Paul Makhlouf. Jean Paul Makhlouf suffered a concussion, injured kidney, alongside bruises to his head and body following the scuffle. 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. [Tyga had postponed his 12:30-1am set to 1:45-2:35am overlapping with the set time of Cash Cash on the same stage.] 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. Samuel Frisch was also shoved during the scene. Cash Cash was unable to perform their set and Makhlouf was also forced to miss their following show to recover from the incident.

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…
