to walk right up in here and you're going to see nothing, you idiots,"
he said in one video. "I'm tired of ... dealing with y'all."

that are endangering my life, they don't come until the next day. Then
somebody make a f***ed up allegation about me, and oh yeah the whole
f***ing SWAT team."

an attack on then girlfriend Rihanna. He was jailed for almost three
months in 2014 after violating his probation.
