More beating allegations against Mansion

by Duran, 04/25/2008

God, Mansion is the new Ike Turner. Someone else has come forward saying Mansion bouncers used unnecessary force. Rapper Grandaddy Souf alleges he was basically attacked by several bouncers at Mansion, then stripped naked and then taken outside to be "left to die". Here is the Herald's explanation:

The club was packed with recording artists, but at one point, Watts was separated from his group. A bouncer, who is identified only as John Doe 1, asked for Watts' identification, which the rapper did not have on him.

Watts tried to explain who he was, to which the bouncer responded: ''I don't give a [expletive] who you are,'' according to the complaint. Parks said Watts raised his arms and told the security guard that he didn't want any trouble, but that sparked a brawl.

The bouncer struck him, Parks said, then Watts pushed back.

Suddenly, Watts was surrounded by 10 bouncers who began kicking, punching and stomping him before stripping him of his clothing, according to the complaint. The guards also choked Watts until he was unconscious, dumped him outside and ''left him to die,'' the complaint states.

The incident happened back in 2007 when Grandaddy was in town for the Ozone Awards. I'll admit when I started reading this story I automatically thought, "Here is someone trying to take advantage of Mansion when they are down." But he may have a legitimate case since passerbys took pictures of him bloody and beat up on the ground. The photos were then posted on MediaTakeOut.com.

Why do I feel this may turn a lot uglier for Mansion and its parent company the Opium Group?

For a long time bouncers in Miami have been getting away with a lot of numbers like this one. Those guys need to lay off the steroids, love mansion, but they need to keep tabs on what their employees are doing, this is just as much their responsibility as it is the perpetrators. I would also like to take the oportunity to say that these self-proffessed bad asses are cowards!!! Meet you in the back one at the time beach boys...Since when this people have the right to treat someone like that?...you have the answer.

It is unbelievable how they treat people down in mansion club Miami !
I have been in Miami on this years Music Conference 2008 and on my second day, bouncers tried to kick me out twice. I have done nothing wrong, only had a good time. It was only for a group of American's who were jelous or something, tried to get me out buy paying the bouncers bucks ! But with no luck because the management were really cool and understood the situation. They apologized for there stuff and paid me drinks on the house!
what else could they do ?
I feel sorry for everone who get in trouble down there...
Yours IRIE MO
