‘We’ve got nothing but love for Method Man and Redman,’ Violent J tells MTV News. By Kyle Anderson Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope Photo: MTV News Back at the beginning of August, one of the biggest music festivals of the year took place over a long weekend in Illinois. No, not Lollapalooza — the 11th annual Gathering of the Juggalos, the four-day extravaganza curated by and starring the Insane Clown Posse. The festival has grown in both size and stature over the past few years, in part because of the online success of trailers that tout the festival and in part because of its increasingly eclectic lineups. But this year, the Gathering picked up some attention for more negative reasons. A good portion of the mainstream media coverage of the festival reported on the injuries suffered by reality star and sometimes rapper . She suffered a number of injuries and threatened to sue ICP, though according to Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, nothing of that sort has happened. The pair regret what happened to Tequila and are still trying to figure out her motivation. “The only reason she got hurt was that she stayed up on stage. It was obvious they didn’t want her there, so why did she stay up there?” ICP member Violent J told MTV News. “It was a shame, because all she had to do was get off the stage,” he continued. “Nobody said, ‘You have to get on there and stay up there to get paid.’ The way I understand it, they paid her before she got up there and they said, ‘There’s a rumor you’re not wanted here, and you’re free to take off if you like.’ She went up there and stayed up there anyway.” Legendary Wu-Tang Clan rapper Method Man also suffered a facial laceration after getting hit with flying debris during his performance with partner Redman. That bothered the men of ICP, because they feel it misrepresented the tenor of their fans. “What happened to Method Man — that shouldn’t even be discussed, because that was one a–hole,” Violent J said. “One d—head threw something, and by chance, it hit [Method Man] in the face. But he wasn’t speaking for Juggalos or for ICP or the Gathering. And they weren’t getting bombed up there — it was one a–hole.” “That kid shouldn’t have thrown something and should have played the lottery instead,” added Shaggy 2 Dope. “Same chances.” But while ICP aren’t sure what their status is with Tequila, their relationship with Meth is copacetic. “We’ve got nothing but love for Method Man and Redman, and we’ve talked to them since then. We talked to them that night and we talked to him just the other day,” J told MTV News. “And if we had caught the kid who threw that, he’d a got it.” Related Artists Insane Clown Posse Method Man Tila Tequila
