Rapper Sexyy Red was arrested on Saturday after a huge brawl broke out at a New Jersey airport.
The 26-year-old musician – who collaborated with Drake last year – was captured on surveillance footage at Newark Liberty International Airport in the middle of a major fight – after police said TMZ she and her companions got into a fight with another group.
Video obtained by the publication shows Sexyy Red – real name Janae Wherry – coming into view as a group of men are fighting on the ground.
The star picks up a metal stand and waves it; it appears she has not made any contact with the group. She was then pulled out of the fight and fell to the ground.
After airport security intervened, Sexyy Red and a few others were arrested.

Sexyy Red appeared to break her silence on the incident on Sunday morning, sharing a clip that read: “Good morning, I just got out.”
She also posted, “To the people involved in that altercation at the airport, DM me so I can replace your phone!”
The Port Authority told the publication that the rapper was arrested for disorderly conduct, while a few others involved in the fight were charged with assault.
The suspected victims had to be taken to hospital with minor injuries.
DailyMail.com has contacted Sexyy Red’s spokesperson for comment.
In July 2023, Drake sparked new rumors about his love life by posting a photo on Instagram with Sexyy Red.
His post with Sexyy Red was captioned: “Just met my rightful wife.”
She has also been musically influenced by certain artists, citing Gucci Mane, Project Pat and Juicy J.
Sexyy Red’s songs are especially notable for the way she conveys her self-confidence and direct, to-the-point way of speaking.
Her first song, called Ah Thousand Jugs, came from a new source of inspiration as it was a diss track about her boyfriend cheating on her.
To her surprise, he liked it and inspired her to give it a try in 2018.

In July 2023, Drake sparked new rumors about his love life by posting a photo on Instagram with Sexyy Red.
But her biggest hit came much more recently, with Pound Town in 2023.
The song’s unapologetically vulgar lyrics caught the attention of many in the industry, including Anaconda singer Nicki Minaj.
Minaj agreed to jump on the track in a May 2023 remix, which would become Sexyy Red’s first Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at number 66.
