Rapper Future speaks out after his bodyguard knocked out by tourists in shock attack

A crazed British tourist knocked out a man identified as a bodyguard of US rapper Future outside Ibiza Airport seen in shocking footage.

The violent holidaymaker raced up behind the large man and punched him in the face in a surprise attack.

As he fell to the ground unconscious another British tourist believed to be a pal of the aggressor filmed the distressing scene and shouted out: "Future's guy is out, Future's bodyguard, Future's bodyguard, he's sleeping.

Future, who had arrived in Ibiza to perform at club Hi in the Spanish party town, has since spoken out to clarify the situation.

The 35-year-old rapper wrote in an Instagram Story post: "Basically these fake goons ask to suck my d*** for a picture I toldem NOOOOO apparently they get angry and do sum sucker s***.

"I left the airport, they edit the video they filmed and sent it to blogs real real tuf guys what they did to security I didn't see period, I'm not a witness to anything leave me out anything have to do with this incident [sic]."

The Brit in a baseball cap who grounded the bodyguard, clenched his fists in front of the camera in a sick celebration moments before his victim came to looking groggy and unable immediately to get back on his feet.

The man filming the incident which was posted to YouTube and Instagram, continuing with his sick commentary, added as he honed in on the bodyguard: "After all the hard talk you know. He got sparked. No way. No way."

He then panned the camera to a man sat down outside the airport terminal a short distance away and saying: "Check Future though. He took a back seat you know, he thought f*** that, I ain't f***ing with those UK n******."

There was no immediate response from local police on Tuesday regarding any arrests.

The incident is believed to have occurred Monday although there has been no official comment as yet about the assault.

US website TMZ quoted Future as saying he had just refused a request from a group of 10 men for a picture because he was tired after a long flight.

It described the attack as "racially-motivated" and said it had been told the Brits started hurling racial slurs after they were told there would be no photo, prompting the bodyguard to step in.

There were unconfirmed reports the man filmed punching the bodyguard had a rock in his hand.

Future, real name Nayvadius Demun Wilburn, is an Atlanta, Georgia-born rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. He has five children with five different women.

Mirror Online have contacted reps for Future for comment.
