Rapper Snoop Dogg told a jury yesterday that he didn’t belt a man suing him for millions of dollars with a brass-knuckle microphone during a skirmish at one of his 2005 concerts, according to an Associated Press report.
Snoop Dogg (Calvin Broadus) testified for over two hours in the civil trial, denying that he ever hit Richard Monroe Jr. and that he went back on his tour bus right after Monroe jumped on stage and was tackled by security men for fellow rapper The Game, who had shared the stage with Snoop.
Monroe testified that the rappers had invited fans to come onstage and that after being beaten he woke up backstage, naked in a pool of blood.
Monroe sued in 2006, alleging he was seriously injured after Broadus and members of his entourage and security detail struck him and poured alcohol on him during a performance of the hit “Gin and Juice.” He is suing for $22 million; a 12-person jury will decide whether he gets any money.

If this attack happened at a concert, it seems like there should be plenty of witnesses, right?
