Three 6 Mafia settle with fan

Three 6 Mafia have settled a lawsuit brought by Pittsburgh teenager Ramone Williams, who blamed the group after he was attacked at a 2003 concert.

Rappers Three 6 Mafia have settled a lawsuit brought against them by Pittsburgh teenager Ramone Williams, who claimed to have been severely beaten at a concert and blames the hip hop group because fellow gig-goers acted upon the lyrics of the track 'Let's Start A Riot'.

The then teenager claimed that he became uneasy when the band began their performance of the track at the 2003 event, and says that by the end he had been thrown to the floor, hit with a chair and kicked in the face, resulting in a fractured jaw.

The settlement is closed, so we don't know how much it was for. Though, presumably some money changed hands. So remember, performers, don't say anything in your tracks that could be used against you in this way. In fact, just quit with the lyrics altogether. They're too dangerous by far.
