“He had got into it with the security or the authorities,” Santana said.
“He was with his homegirls.
I was out with him and his friends… Erica was very belligerent.
I don’t know, maybe she probably got too drunk, or whatever the case is.
She was real wild last night.”
He continued, “She got into it with the security guards.
It was like three or four big security on top of her.
So, Zell was just being a man, and them his girls.
He was just trying to de-escalate the situation.
The people ended up tussling with Zell, and that’s how he ended up going to jail.
I got the f— out of dodge because I don’t play that!
Zell knows I don’t play that.”
Santana ended the video by panning to the balcony, where he said Shaw was sitting.
“I went and got my n—- out of jail,” he said.
