TRAVIS MCCOY OF GYM CLASS HEROES ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT

Travis "Scleprok" McCoy, Lead singer of Gym Class Heroes




Gym Class Heroes' Travis McCoy was arrested last night at a show in St. Louis, Missouri after assaulting an audience member who yelled a derogatory statement at him.


McCoy was charged with third-degree assault and released on $500 Bond. As per Rolling Stone Magazine , the altercation occurred immediately after performing their first song "Peace Sign" when a black audience member yelled, "f*cking ignorant n*gger." I repeat, a black guy calls another black/half black guy a n*gger. ???? Isn't Travis a dead ringer for J. Holiday?



Responding to the statement as security removed the man, McCoy asked, "What did you just call me?" and followed by breaking his microphone on the man's head.




McCoy apologized to the crowd by saying, "I'm sorry, but when someone calls you something that ignorant and that offensive, you have to bash their head in with a microphone." oookay?


Gym Class Heroes is a 4 member Rock-HipHop group from New York City. Their music is a cool mixture of hip hop, rock, r&b and funk. Two original members, lead singer Travis McCoy & drummer Matt McGinley, met during gym class in high school. Later they met guitarist Milo Bonacci and bassist Ryan Giese and formed the group Gym Class Heroes.




Gym Class Heroes current single "White Girl" ft. Lil Wayne is said to be an anology for the controlled dangerous substance cocaine.
