According to his arrest affidavit, Dixon was seen ******* at Thompson in the vending area of the Juneteenth celebration.

The altercation started because Thompson’s rap group, called “Whaa Ent,” had insulted Dixon’s rap group, “Get Money Entertainment,” the affidavit said. “The disrespect revolved around a member of Get Money Entertainment who had been previously murdered,” police said.
