August Alsina was involved in a fight backstage at the “State of Emergency 2″ concert on Saturday night at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis.

Method Behind the Madness:
“When making this song I wanted to show a more sexual side to my lyrics and at the same time I wanted it to be witty and catchy. Lol I actually pictured the video to the song before I created to lyrics. I’m not sure if that made the creative process easier or more difficult but it all turned out pretty good if you ask me. All that was needed left was some Heavy vocals and Breezy (@mz_ooooohhweeee) covered that perfectly.”
