The Twitter account that posted this — which accurately simply aggregates and publishes loopy clips — described this incident in quite ominous phrases … and with none context in any respect. They wrote, “Steve Aoki (DJ) threw a cake 80 ft and hit boy in wheel chair.”
First, that is an historical video from 2013, when SA carried out on the Veld Music Festival in Toronto. And extra importantly, this isn’t a “boy” — AKA, a toddler — however quite … a grown-ass man. He additionally wasn’t the sufferer of something, as Twitter is outwardly fast to imagine now.
There had been some who noticed this — once more, out of context — and assumed what the Fight Club account floated was correct … and that he’d deliberately aimed to harm this disabled particular person. That, or they presumed Steve did not understand the injury he could have inflicted.
Fortunately, that is not even near the reality in any respect … should you watch the total clip, which Steve posted himself again then, you will see the person requested to be hoisted up and wished the cake.
Are they making an attempt to cancel Steve Aoki for throwing cake at a child in a wheelchair throughout his set? Do y’all know who Steve Aoki is and he does that proper? Y’all know that’s his factor, proper? That child might be HAPPY AS HELL he bought hit by the cake

Steve merely obliged, and even snapped a shot with him afterward. So, it was all kosher.
Crisis (and potential cancelation) averted, y’all.😅
