Throughout his post on Reddit's music forum, Taylor described himself as a huge fan of mc chris (real name Christopher Brendan Ward) since 2004. According to his post, Taylor received a full refund from the venue, Union Transfer in Philadelphia, as well as apologies from both the tour manager and Richie Branson, the opening act in question.
Reddit commenters replied with similar stories of Ward treating fans rudely.
"Something similar happened when we went to see him last October in LA," said poster SO-FEE-UH. "He had come back out to do his encore and there was this girl dancing right in the front of the stage. Just as he's launching into 'Popcorn Frog' he stops, looks at this girl and says something along the lines of, 'I'm sorry, but your tits are in my face, you're ugly and it's just too distracting, you need to leave.'"
Ward later deleted the post and linked to a video apology on Twitter, with a comment saying, "for all the offended, im truly sorry. I'll try to be a better mc."
Ward's records are known for their synthesis of geek culture and traditional hip-hop imagery. One of his best known early songs "Fette's 'Vette" exemplifies this well, rapping from the perspective of "Star Wars" antihero Boba Fett as if he were a rapper showing off his wealth. Ward has also made guest appearances on the Adult Swim TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."
