According to a video shared by TMZ on Tuesday (April 25), Swae and his team got into a brawl with security at the Coachella entrance, but Swae and his infant baby were unharmed.

    The rapper’s team issued a statement stating: “As Swae Lee attempted to enter the festival with his newborn son and working crew, overzealous security guards confronted them. As 1/2 of Rae Sremmurd, he was due to perform on Coachella’s Outdoor Theatre stage at 5:55 PM. Security claimed not to recognize the talent and then aggressively initiated contact as they attempted to make their way to the stage.”

    They added, “The security guards, which we presume are independent contractors, are seen clearly being the aggressors and then throwing gang signs at end of the video in a celebration.”
