While hosting a charity bowling event late last week in Atlanta, the New York-born Waka Flocka Flame ran into a bit of a problem.

TMZ has video footage of the brawl that breaks out after the "No Hands" rapper gets punched in the face. In the video, the 25-year-old is seen standing around with some people when a short man in a cap rolls up and catches him off-guard. TMZ reports sources say the man is a former Flocka protégé and accuses him of owing money.

Although the guy tries to run away, the video shows Waka and crew chasing him down, beating him down and then keeping it moving as the man lay face down on the floor. Waka’s reps say he was trying to do something good for the community with the charity event and was simply defending himself.
