After it was reported yesterday that Meek Mill was involved in an altercation with a group of St. Louis airport employees, one of the men spoke out to explain his side of the story.

"I was like, 'What up Meek, can I get a pic?'" the man says, "He was like 'Nah.' I said my opinion about rappers, I was like, 'Why you all do us like that and we the fans? Why y'all don't show us love?'...Two dudes walked up on me, and I was just defending myself. You could tell he was finna punch me, so I swung first."

Meek Mill and the airport employees involved in the scrap were issued court summonses.

Watch above.
