T.I.’s bodyguard was stabbed in the leg during the Moncton, New Brunswick stop of the rapper’s 19-day promotional tour of Canada for Us or Else: Letter to the System on Monday (January 30).

According to a report from TMZ, cops responded to a call from The Venue, where a fight broke out at the merch table. This evolved into the bodyguard getting stabbed at least three times in his calf and being later sent to a nearby hospital for minor injuries before being released the same night.

Currently, T.I. hasn’t addressed the recent incident online, though reports say he spoke with the cops.
