Info from Licensor: "We were all waiting at baggage claim when a teenage son of the lady in the video stood in front of Tone Loc. Loc felt offended by his hat. A confederate hat. He voiced his opinion saying 'Why are you gonna wear that confederate hat in front of a black man?' The lady then verbally attacked Loc.
He walked away to deescalate the situation, leaving the airport to his car service. The lady's main issue was her teenage son was wearing the hat and she was defending him. He apologized saying he did not know the teenager was a minor but was still offended by the hat. The lady followed him to continue fighting and argue her views. She continued to yell and holler 'Freedom of speech' and cuss. She told Loc she knew who he was and was going to have security cause him more problems. She told him he was washed up and a nobody. Loc then yelled 'FU bitch'.
Her husband parked outside came to instigate further. The husband shoved and provoked Tone Loc, trying to instigate a fight. At this point, airport security shows up and immediately detains Tone Loc and no one else. This I had a problem with. I hate to say this but he was profiled. Of course, this made it worse for his temper.
Judge for yourself. He was later released after a few moments when I cleared up the situation with security. He left and came to perform a great family-friendly performance at the Blvd Nights car show in Midland."
