There’s been ill feelings festering away between Naeem of Spank Rock and emo-king/actor Jared Leto for some time, and it all came to a head at the recent MTV Woodie Awards in Canada when the notoriously capricious Baltimore MC chucked a glass at the 30 Seconds To Mars frontman.
It could be said that Leto – who has been given the title “King of Douche” thanks to his self-absorbed parading and egocentric antics in 30 Seconds To Mars – is a pretty easy target, and since the incident blogs have been going ga-ga. None of them seem to be able to explain exactly why Naeem felt the need to hurl the glass at Leto in the first place. Some have said that it stemmed from El-P talking trash about Spank Rock’s new 2 Live Crew-inspired EP – œBangers & Cash’ backstage at the awards… but what exactly does that have with Jared Leto? Who knows!
Video of the incident has, unremarkably, made it onto the web, with the YouTube clip below documenting the whole skirmish.
