Snoop Dogg Denies Hitting Fan

Rapper Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Broadus) testified this week that he did not hit Richard Monroe Jr. with a brass-knuckle microphone during a melee at one of his 2005 concerts near Seattle. Monroe, who testified "that he woke up backstage, naked and in a pool of blood after the altercation," said he was "responding to what he thought was a call for audience members to join the performers on stage." He sued in 2006, "claiming 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.'"
