Footage taken from the night appears to show the singer allegedly assault one of his fans before being body slammed by a security guard

An ‘entitled’ rapper is allegedly avoiding police after a video went viral of him punching and kicking a man in the face at a concert.

Disturbing footage has emerged which appears to show Lil Xan, full name Nicholas Diego Leanos, assaulting a spectator at the front row of his show, at around 1am on November 23 at the Royale nightclub in Boston, Massachusetts.

According to the Mirror, the rapper is reportedly avoiding police.

In the video, the 28-year-old artist can be seen shouting at the man before allegedly bending down and hitting him.

While he attempts to get up, the California-born musician then proceeds to boot him in the face, at which point fans step in to prevent any more harm.

Security then usher the ‘Betrayed’ singer away from the edge of the stage, picking all 5-foot-6-inches of him up before he then begins tussling with the bouncer, who in turn body slams him onstage in front of his fans.

The video of Lil Xan assaulting the fan has been posted all over social media, with users on Twitter reacting to the incident.

“Wouldn’t it be a perfect world where people just simply walked out of the venue. Everyone refused to show up for future performances,” wrote one person.

“Actions have consequences. This is entitlement’s ugly face.”

Another commented: “What’s a little xan? Just looks like some kid on a stage kicking someone. Who is this idiot?”

A third added: “Animal. STOP idolizing celebrities. Let them go broke!!!!!”

Someone else explained how Lil Xan may just have the money to pay, if any lawsuit arose from the alleged assault.

TMZ has also reported how cops were informed that Lil Xan assaulted two other people before leaving the club, and that officers called to the venue to discuss assault and battery that is understood to have taken place.

The outlet explained that officials were yet to speak to the rapper.

Lil Xan has since broken his silence – so what does he have to say for himself?

Well, addressing the situation on Instagram, he commented: “To people thinking I did what I did unprompted yall needa chill buddy kept reaching for my d**k, l gave him multiple warnings to stop but he did not and kept trying to touch me…am I proud of how I acted or handled the situation hell no, l feel terrible about it, I’m a human just like you and I will be doing heavy reflecting after this.”

The reasoning the rapper gave for allegedly kicking a defenceless man in the face and punching him was due to claims that the fan was trying to grope him on set.

It is not the first time Lil Xan has been in the limelight for alleged aggression towards fans.
