It's not quite up there with Akon in terms of attacks on fans at gigs, but Kid Cudi is at least making an effort, by punching a fan who he thought had thrown a wallet at him. Said wallet was thrown on stage at a gig in Vancouver. Cudi initially seemed relaxed about it, and threw the wallet back into the audience. But it went to the wrong person. That person, being the honest type, threw it back onto the stage for a second time. It's that which earned him a thwack from the Cudster.
Someone called Michael Sharpe, claiming to be the punchee, told Rap Radar: "Some dude in the back threw their wallet at him. Being in the front, of course I'm gonna reach for it when he's like: 'Who wants this wallet?' I felt bad cause it wasn't mine, so I tossed it back. If you watch the video, clearly I didn't throw it at him. When he came down I thought he was gonna pull me on stage and I was like: 'Shit, I'm gonna get on stage'. I was just in awe. Pretty funny though, good story to tell my grandchildren when I'm old".
So there you go, honesty is always the best policy. Especially if it gets you punched by a celebrity.
