Tony Yayo was on "The Breakfast Club," where he relived a bit of a tense moment between G-Unit and Travis Scott.

Travis Scott has been called out in the past for getting into scuffles with the likes of Alexander Edwards. Furthermore, there has been this reputation over the years that Scott has an ego and will try to check you if you so much as look in his direction.

Last month, it was reported that Scott and NBA star Jordan Clarkson were escorted out of a New York City members-only club after a bottle-throwing brawl. 50 Cent was performing at the venue, and it was said that Scott was mad at someone allegedly recording him.

Today, Tony Yayo was a guest on The Breakfast Club, where he got to reveal the truth about the incident. G-Unit was in attendance for 50 Cent's show, and so he got a front-row view of Travis Scott's antics.

As Yayo describes, Scott had an ego. As G-Unit tried to pass through Scott's section near the stage, the Astroworld artist claimed that they weren't allowed to go. This subsequently led to a bit of a scuffle, where Yayo claims Scott was dispatched with relative ease.

Tony Yayo Says Travis Scott Got Out Of Hand

Speaking on the Clarkson angle to all of this, Yayo simply believes it was the kind of evening where everyone was getting drunk and unruly. He believes this ultimately led to the tensions, and that it was a bit of a weird scene.

However, Yayo maintains that G-Unit handled their business, and that there isn't much to say. He said some rappers tend to have an ego, but it's nothing that they couldn't handle.

Hilariously, Clarkson had put his chain on Yayo during the performance. Yayo would have kept it on, but he was not too keen on being on the news for having a Knicks player's chain on, especially in the midst of a brawl.

Needless to say, the situation was handled, and now, all parties can just move on.
