In the clip, Jones can be seen getting into a scuffle with another man on the escalator. Jones hurls the other man down the steps and they both seem to land an an older man’s leg, knocking him down. Then a third man jumps into the fray, with more punches thrown until several sheriff’s deputies step in to break up the fight.

Jones took a seat while one of the other men continued to struggle with the deputies. “He hurt my friend,” one of the men can be heard telling the officers. “There’s two of them against me!” Jones said. “He assaulted me! They both assaulted me!”

It’s unclear what instigated the altercation.

“I was minding my business and defended myself. They got what they were looking for,” Jones told TMZ in a statement.

It’s unclear if anyone was arrested for their involvement in the airport melee.

Drake’s camp has denied Kendrick’s allegations that he has been hiding a secret daughter for years. Drake also accused Kendrick of physically abusing his longtime partner, while Kendrick called Drake a “ped*phile” in another new track entitled “Not Like Us.”
