In a TikTok video, Drew explained the onstage incident, which prompted T.I. to respond with a TikTok of his own.
“There’s really not much more to the story than you’ve already heard,” the 41-year-old began. “I think the most important thing to take away is afterwards, we had a drink, we took a shot, you dig? You know what I’m saying? And we moved on.
“You know, everybody left the party, had a good time. Like I said, love The Chainsmokers – not to get no sugar, though.”
In his video, Drew shared his version of events.
“T.I. just literally punched me in the face. We were in a vibe and I was, like, I gave him a kiss on the cheek,” he recalled. “It was totally my fault.
“He was like, ‘Don’t do that,’ and I was like, ‘OK.’ And he pushed me off and I was like, ‘All right, my bad.'”
Drew summarized in his video: “He punched me in the face and I was like, ‘OK, I’m sorry.’ And he was like, ‘All right, cool. We’re good.’ It was the weirdest interaction ever.”
