Aries Spears probably regrets appearing on the Corey Holcomb 5150 online radio show this week. His interview turned violent after a heated argument that involved insults pertaining to skin color and light-skinned black people.

TMZ acquired footage of the incident, because of course they did.

The show’s namesake, Corey Holcomb, is a comedian and actor.

The video begins with Aries calling one of the show’s hosts, Zo Williams, a “light-skinned n***a.” Zo responded by saying he would “put hands on” Spears and “give you real black eyes.”

The two continued exchanging verbal jabs as Spears went on a rant about light-skinned people being loud. In the video, Spears says he is drunk. At a certain point, Williams’ frustration boiled over, and he got out of his seat and repeatedly punched Spears in the back of the head.

Details are scarce at this point, but TMZ reports Williams and his cohosts—Holcomb and Darlene Ortiz, the latter of whom you might know as Ice-T’s ex—had gotten annoyed with Spears’ rudeness.

Complex has reached out to the show’s hosts hoping to gain clarity on the situation. We’ll update this post if more information becomes available.
