Earl Sweatshirt just kicked off his Ready To Leave Now Tour a couple of days ago in New Zealand. At Earl’s show in Sydney, Australia last night, some guy crashed the stage and grabbed Earl from behind, who responded by throwing a couple of punches. Trash Talk’s Garrett Stevenson also came to Earl’s defense. Watch the incident captured on fan-footage below.

This idiot ruined my favorite song. Lucky @earlxsweaat got a few punches in and garret from @trash_talk was there to get a kick in. #earlsweatshirt #earl #grief
