T.I. apparently had some problems up north last night (Jan. 30) as TMZ reports that The King of the South’s bodyguard was stabbed in the leg at a show in Canada.
The incident occurred at a club in Moncton, New Brunswick after a fight broke out near a merchandise table the 23-year-old bodyguard was holding down. Tip’s bodyguard was reportedly stabbed three times in one of his calves and taken to a local hospital before later being released.
Police also spoke with T.I. after the attack who later headed back to the States. The King had just wrapped up the final stops of the Canadian leg of his Us or Else tour.
