Duel in the Desert this past weekend at Celebrity Theatre almost became "Deuce in the Desert," thanks to the antics of controversial L.A. battle rapper Daylyt.
That's because the notorious MC -- whose previous stunts include declaring that he'd "fuck Diddy" or performing autofellatio while performing -- attempted to take go number two onstage at the Phoenix concert venue in response to getting booed during the battle rap massive on Saturday afternoon.
Yup, you read that right: A rapper tried to turn the Celebrity's stage into a crapper.
Daylyt's attempt to lay down a fudge dragon came about during his battle against Pittsburgh's Real Deal at Duel in the Desert and was one of a few different stunts he used to win over the crowd.
Update: We've reached out to the rapper to get a comment and will update if we hear back.
From everything we've heard about the incident since Saturday, it's become apparent that Daylyt was far from being on point for his battle and the crowd knew it. Instead, he chose to bust out with gimmicks. Too bad it ultimately backfired on the L.A. battle rapper.
First, he passed out playing cards to the Celebrity Theatre audience and asked the person with the "lucky card" to decide whether he'd use "bars" (a.k.a. rapping) or antics during the battle. The woman who drew that particular card chose bars, to which Daylyt reportedly responded, "Well, I ain't got none."
The rapper, who came to the stage dressed in a black cloak, revealed he was also wearing a Headless Horseman-like costume (complete with a bloody neck stump and decapitated melon) since many believed Real Deal would "take his head off."
Daylyt's lack of game and reluctance to rap, despite spitting a few bars, got the crowd booing and heckling him by that point. In response, the rapper decided he'd shit all over the event...literally.
After declaring, "If I hear two more boos, Imma take a boo boo on stage," Daylyt proceeded to drop his drawers and drop a dook.
Thankfully, security interceded and stopped Daylyt from soiling the venerated concert venue's turntable-like stage with his feces and forcibly removed him from the building. Despite the presence of Phoenix Police Officers at the event, the rapper wasn't arrested for indecent exposure or any other charges. He was, however, escorted off the premises with the venue's gate being locked behind him.
Daylyt's no stranger to causing a ruckus during a battle with some nasty-ass antics. Last year, for instance, he stripped naked (save for a loin cloth) during one showdown in L.A., and back in July he may or may not have dooked onstage and eaten said feces at an event in NYC. Unsuprisingly, he also got booed during the stunt. Last summer, he told our sister paper L.A. Weekly that such stunts have become his trademark and are his way of standing out from other battle rappers.
In all honesty, I had a portion where I was out of battle rap. I took some time off. I didn't tweet, I just watched the format of the game. It went from jokes to people with actual bars. The game was forming into the style I had prior. Once battle rappers learn a format, everybody does it. When I saw everybody was dope, that meant dope is the new wack. What's good if everybody was good? I had to do something different. My trademark is something in the third round. People follow me because they're waiting to see what I do in the third round. I see the feedback, all the hate, and hate travels farther than love. I would have a format of one battle they hate me, the next make them love me.
Its pretty safe to say that the crowd at Duel in the Desert wasn't loving Daylyt when he tried to turn the Celebrity into his personal toilet.
