Yung Berg Cancels Detroit Appearance After Assault and Robbery
Epic/Koch recording artist Yung Berg missed a scheduled performance in Detroit on Saturday (August 23), following an early morning altercation that left the young rapper badly bruised.
Yung Berg, who was scheduled to headline Hot 102.7's Summer Jam, cancelled his appearance hours before the show, which also boasted performances by Shawty Lo, Mike Jones, 112 front man turned solo artist Slim, crooner Mario and Yung Joc's group Hot Stylez.
"Yung Berg was in town and scheduled to perform at Summer Jam," Radio One Detroit Marketing Director Kathie Stonehouse said. "He made an appearance at Plan B Nightclub on Friday night. The word we got was that he was attacked and he was bruised pretty badly. As a result, he decided he didn't want to take the stage on Saturday."
According to several sources, the 23-year-old Chicago rapper was robbed and beaten during an altercation at the popular Downtown nightclub early Saturday morning.
Shortly after entering the venue, which is reportedly co-owned by rapper Trick Trick, Berg, born Christian Ward, was allegedly confronted by a group of men over disparaging comments he had made about Detroit rappers, during a previous visit to the city.
According to a witness, despite the presence of his personal bodyguard who was also involved in the fight, Yung Berg was unable to defend himself and was reportedly relieved of his jewelry, including a multi-colored diamond encrusted “Transformers” chain.
Once alerted to the situation, Yung Berg's driver, hired by Radio One because of his security background, interjected, escorting him out of the venue and out of harm's way.
Hours after rumors of the altercation appeared online Saturday, photos began circulating of a man sporting the chain. Trick Trick declined to speak on the incident.
This is the second time Yung Berg has made headlines in as many weeks.
Only days before the August 12 release of his debut album Look What You Made Me, Yung Berg and members of his entourage were arrested in New York following an argument with a limousine driver.
He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of marijuana.
At press time, the Detroit Police Department had no comment on the altercation.

In light of Yung Berg’s recent public beating and robbery at the Plan B Nightclub in Detroit, rapper and club co-owner Trick Trick is maintaining that the incident had nothing to do with him.
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, Trick Trick detailed the specifics behind the assault that left Berg bruised and stripped of his flashy Transformer chain.
“First of all I ain’t no jack n***a . I don’t need to jack nann [any] n***a to get what I gotta get,” Trick clarified to AllHipHop.com. “Karma’s a motherf**ker so I’m not taking no n***a’s s**t. I earn mine. I don’t need that piece of s**t ass aluminum foil chain the b**ch had on no way.”
Rumors have circulated that Trick Trick orchestrated the attack in retaliation for previous comments Yung Berg made, disparaging the Detroit native as an MC and Detroit’s rap scene as a whole.
While Trick admits it was members on his entourage who carried out the attack, he claims to have broken up the assault and argues Yung Berg should have cleared his appearance beforehand.
“My lil n***as got him. The label called and told me he wasn’t coming, so I wasn’t expecting him. So there was no need for me to tell the lil homies that ‘aye, the n***a’s straight,’ because he wasn’t coming,” Trick reasoned. “I saved that n***a’s life. He would probably be dead right now or in a coma if I hadn’t ran over there and pushed the lil homies back so they could quit stomping this n***a.”
The bludgeoning left Berg visibly bruised and forced the 23-year-old MC to cancel a scheduled high profile performance at Hot 102.7’s Summer Jam.
Also, a brazen picture of an unidentified man sporting Berg’s chain leaked onto the internet yesterday.
Trick Trick feels unsympathetic to Berg’s situation, feeling the Chicago native brought the beatdown on himself.
“You can’t be saying ‘fuck Trick Trick’ and you don’t like dark skin women,” Trick sneered. “I was gonna school the little n***a to the ropes of the game! If you gonna take some notes, take notes from an OG. The lil homies got that trophy [the chain], I don’t want that s**t. I don’t have any problems with the little n***a. I [just] don’t like him.”
Yung Berg is still promoting his new album Look What You Made Me, which debuted at #20 2 weeks ago on Billboard’s Top 200.
Trick Trick is finishing work on his sophomore album The Villian, which will feature appearances from Eminem, Kid Rock, Esham, and Proof.
At press time, Yung Berg and the Detroit Police Department could not be reached for comment.
