On Saturday, Big Sean took to Twitter to explain what exactly was going on in a viral video of the artist being attacked by an unstable fan at a record signing in Queens
Setting the record straight: The Bounce Back rapper explained that although the scene was chaotic, he was NOT hit although the man did attempt to catch the rapper 'off guard'
He continued, 'Some guy waited in line in the cold since 10am, bought my CD, when I signed his CD n shook his hand he TRIED to hit me off guard.'
The fan did not make physical contact with the I Don't F*** With You rapper, despite mixed reports from the scene.
The artist didn't have any hard feelings for the man, though. He extended his sympathies to the assailant, who Big Sean explained was dealing with serious mental illness.
Sincere apologies: The GOOD Music artist said sorry to his dedicated fans who waited at the signing but were sent home by the fracas
'The dude was released from a mental hospital last week, has a long record of mental illness n was off his meds. Very serious issues.'
Sean, who's full name is Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, also apologized to the fans of his who weren't able to meet the Detroit native because of the signing's abrupt stop.
'I wanted to keep the signing going but the store shut it down. Sorry it got ruined for the rest of the real fans,' he told followers.
What went down: The fan-shot video of the incident shows a man being restrained by police while Big Sean fans heckle him for attacking the artist
He's okay: In the video, you can spot Sean standing at the front of the store with a confused look on his face. The rapper doesn't appear to be hurt, however
The Grammy nominated performer finished off his message by thanking his dedicated fans for all of their support.
'I got the #1 Album in the country currently and am grateful for every listener who got love for me. Everyday a dream come true.'
The one minute video taken after the reported shove shows a man on the ground being restrained by police as frustrated fans heckle the attacker from behind the camera.
A confused looking Sean stands at the front of the store looking dazed before the officers then clear the store, much to dismay of the fans who had camped out for hours for a chance to meet the rapper.
