Listen up, party people. On Monday, we reported that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney had been involved in an air-rage incident on his flight back from the Vancouver Olympics. It turns out that the second party in the altercation was Sky Blu, of the Grammy-nominated musical group LMFAO. Seriously, yo.
In a video acquired by TMZ, Sky Blu gives his side of the story with the help of his partner, Redfoo. The video also contains a brief clip of Sky Blu being escorted off the plane.
According to Sky Blu, the incident began after he brought his seat back pre-flight. Romney yelled, “Sir, sir, put your seat up!” and grabbed Sky Blu’s shoulder (in a “Vulcan grip,” according to Redfoo). Sky Blu struck back somehow, and then Romney’s female companion screamed, at which point a flight attendant came over. Sky Blu admitted to using a few “cuss words,” and said that by the time authorities boarded the plane, he had already decided to let it go and comply.
As a kind of olive branch at the end, Sky Blu said that though he wouldn’t vote for Romney, he would be his drinking buddy, “if he drinks.” Sorry, man, he doesn’t.
