Scott allegedly got into a physical altercation with a sound engineer at the nightclub amid a heated argument, according to multiple reports.

The 30-year-old allegedly caused $12,000 in damages and reportedly damaged expensive sound equipment, including a speaker and video screen at the nightclub.

Scott’s lawyer, Mitchell Schuster, said in a statement, "While this is clearly a misunderstanding being blown out of proportion by clickbait and misinformation, we are actively working with the venue and law enforcement to resolve and set the record straight. We are confident our client will be cleared of any wrongdoing."

Ritchie Romero, the managing partner of Club Nebula where the alleged incident occurred, told Fox, "This is blown completely out of proportion. It was a great night." 

Scott made a surprise appearance at a Don Toliver show at Irving Plaza Tuesday night.

Dorian Harrington, who booked Toliver to host his after party at Club Nebula, said "This is a total misunderstanding, and what I saw on stage doesn’t reflect what I read in the news." 

Harrington was on stage with Scott during his surprise DJ set and said, "The music and the night turned out great and everyone left peacefully."
