Carter defends himself after being attacked on stage

Singer Aaron Carter says he "didn't get beat up" after he was attacked by a fellow musician onstage over an allegedly racial comment. The former child star was performing at the Looney Bin in Bradley, Illinois, on Friday when a member of Ill State, the group who preceded Carter's set, jumped onstage and attacked him over an allegedly racial remark.

"I got a hit and pushed when I wasn't looking and they ran out the club and I stood on the speakers waiting for them," the 29-year-old tweeted on Saturday. "Maybe he should've not been a fake security guard causing liability to the venue and antagonising me and my fans mid show," he wrote.

According to tmz.com, which obtained video footage of the incident that was later shared to YouTube by Ill State, Carter requested a member of the band be removed from the venue after he "was goofing, grabbing people's cellphones and shooting video as Aaron tried to perform". As the individual was being escorted out, Carter reportedly yelled, "Bye, Felipe," his own version of the slang term, "Bye, Felicia".
