Professor Green

Professor Green

The 30-year-old rapper was captured on camera getting into a scuffle in the middle of his gig at Durham University's Student Union Welcome Ball. A member of the audience shouted abuse at him and he was subsequently escorted off the premises. He does not understand why there has been so much press about it.

He said: "I don't reflect on things like that. Y'know, someone abuses you and throws their hand up at your face and then someone says that you slapped them and I'm like 'What?'. It just happened...

"What's happened to rock 'n' roll? Hit music used to be hitting people over the head with chairs, I don't understand why it's all become such a big thing."

The 'Remedy' hitmaker recently released his first album in three years and is enjoying to being back at work.

Speaking about his return to music at the MOBO Awards in London last night (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "The next video I've got is going up on Monday. I'm just happy to be releasing music again, it's nice to feel like I've got a job again."

The spokesperson said: "During Professor Green's live show at Durham University on Friday night, a student verbally abused Green repeatedly and then went to strike him. Green reacted. The student was subsequently escorted out from the venue for being too drunk. Green carried on the show to perform his full set."
