‘I’m fine; I’m good,’ rapper says in video blog dispelling rumors that he was beaten and robbed in L.A. By Jayson Rodriguez Yung Berg Photo: Neilson Barnard/ Getty Images “Sexy Can I” rapper Yung Berg has taken to Twitter and YouTube to dispel rumors that he was beaten and robbed at gunpoint in Los Angeles last weekend. On Wednesday morning (February 24), TMZ reported that the Chicago-born lyricist was “violently beaten” during a house party after four assailants entered the premises. The gossip site said that Berg and another person were attacked, and the suspects made away with $10,000 in chase and jewelry. But police told MTV News on Wednesday that there was no police report on file that mentioned the rapper (born Christian Ward). Berg himself denied the report on Wednesday afternoon (February 24) in a two-minute video blog he posted on YouTube . The rapper looked directly into the camera and displayed no traces of having been assaulted. “I’m fine; I’m good,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with nobody. I’m still gorgeous. I love you Mom, thanks you for these good genes.” Young Berg’s reps had not responded at press time to an inquiry made by MTV News, but TMZ reported that a rep for the rapper indicated he wasn’t even in California when the crime was allegedly committed. Instead, Berg was in Las Vegas, and in the YouTube clip he says he’s been there recording music. News of the alleged incident made #YungBergsChain one of the top trending topics on Twitter and Yung Berg became a top Google search term. “Shout out to TMZ,” Berg said in his video. “Thank you for the free promo and publicity — it’s just not the right publicity. I wish I was talking about the album or the mixtape.” The rapper has been subject to numerous robbery hoaxes after reported altercations occurred between the upstart artist and Detroit underground act Trick Trick, and after a separate incident involving Maino. But Berg urged his Twitter followers to dismiss the latest rumors. “PLEASE BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT U SEE,” he wrote in all caps. “AND NONE OF WAT U HEAR!!!! : )” Related Artists Yung Berg
