Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Montreal police pepper sprayed Dave East in the face.
Dave East was pepper sprayed in the face by police following a performance north of the border in Montreal, Canada.
Footage emerged early Tuesday (December 19), shortly after the Harlem native performed at Le Rouge nightclub, that showed him involved in a stand-off with police in the pouring rain outside the venue.
Another video cuts closer to a visibly irritated East and the police during what seemed like a non-violent confrontation which led to pepper spray being unleashed on the crowd, affecting the New York rapper almost immediately.
“Oh, they’re pepper spraying,” one person said as the rest of the crowd got even more aggravated.
The video then shows East pouring water on his eyes to mitigate the pepper spray effects as his crew implores him to get to the car so he can escape safely.
Per Complex, the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) informed Dave East and his entourage that everyone would need to be searched, which Dave and co. didn’t agree with, causing tensions to rise.
The confrontation reached a point where the police had enough of the back-and-forth and appeared to pepper-spray Dave East in the eyes, with the rapper seen trying to cover his face and avoid the toxins.
