Elephant Man says the allegation that he disrespected an older man and a cameraman during his performance at Dream Weekend’s YUSH event is the furthest thing from the truth.

The Pretty Baby artiste has recently faced backlash on social media after a video clip showing him pushing an older man off stage and appearing to mistreat a cameraman circulated online. However, Elephant Man told THE STAR that the video was cut short, and did not reflect the full story of what took place, and was mischievously captioned to embarrass him.

“I frighten when I see everything blow out of context. Somebody take the video and caption it ‘Elephant disrespect cameraman’ but what happened was the guy that you see, that’s Fiah. If you know Fiah, you know that he’s been travelling all over the world with me for at least 25, 30 years. So Fiah is my friend and part of my team; a him have me Signal D Plane stick, so this is something that me and him planned. If you watch the full video, when I push him off, he came back on the stage again, and I wet him up, and he wet me up back. He has my bag with my merino, my towel, everything.”
