Kaine of the Ying Yang Twins spoke out Tuesday about accusations he was too drunk to perform at a recent show in Little Rock, Arkansas. In a video statement to TMZ, Kaine admitted he was fucked up during the Sunday night set at the Rev Room, but only because someone gave him Ciroc vodka instead of his usual drink of choice.
"I'm telling the truth," Kaine said. "You know I drink tequila, Patron Silver." Kaine said someone at the show "double hit" him instead with Ciroc, a.k.a. "the Puffy juice" with the "fruity flavors." Kaine added that his cerebral palsy makes the physical aspects of intoxication more exaggerated. "I got CP, right?" he said. "So I don't walk like everybody else."
In footage of the incident, Kaine is seen being helped off the stage. According to initial reports, the other half of the Ying Yang Twins—D-Roc—was forced to carry the bulk of the show alone. According to TMZ's sources, Kaine was removed from the stage multiple times but kept returning.
But Kaine isn't worried about annoyingly overdramatic headlines. "At least they caught me doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and what is that?" Kaine said Tuesday. "Getting fucked up while I'm getting fucked up, singing songs about me going to the club and getting fucked up."
The most recent Ying Yang Twins project is their 2013 mixtape Twurk or Die. The tape was preceded by Ass in Session that same year, ReMixTape in 2011, and Ying Yang Forever in 2009.

Make sure the kids are in the other room when this one comes on. Even if "Wait" was called "(The Whisper Song)," the Ying Yang Twins made sure their requests were audible enough. Mr. Mitch took the time out to give this one a bit of a push, adding some intergalactic keys and and light drums to this one, giving it a bouncy flavor that has to work well when you're trying to take it home.
Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz ft. Ying Yang Twins - "Get Low (Styles&Complete Remix)"
This 100BPM/twerk sound isn't going anywhere anytime soon, especially with it being so close to natural hip-hop tempo anyways. The homies Styles&Complete took Lil Jon's "Get Low," an already notorious booty shakin' anthem, and threw some extra twerk on it, sprinkling all kinds of hi hats, random vocal samples, and much more. Like they told me, don't be surprised if this summer finds the "RUN THE TRAP" shouts replaced with "RUN THE TWERK." Patent pending, of course.
