Mike Epps Arrest Warrant Issued: Comedian Allegedly Fought Another Comic for Cracking Jokes About Him

Mike Epps, the comedian known for his roles in "Friday," "All About the Benjamins" and other films, now has a warrant out for his arrest, according to reports. The 43-year-old comic beat up another comedian, Lavar Walker, in Atlanta Saturday night.

Mike Epps' fistfight with Walker allegedly occurred because the 36-year-old comedian was making fun of the feud between Epps and Kevin Hart. Epps had called Hart "overrated" on a radio show, which prompted Hart to respond on Twitter and Instagram.

Walker made fun of the issue at the Uptown Comedy Corner by parodying Epps on stage and previously on Instagram with a white powdery substance on his nose, alluding to the comedian having a problem with drugs. Soon afterwards, Walker told police that someone told him Epps was outside and wanted to have a word with him.

When Walker came outside, he said the "Def Jam Comedy" star was waiting for him with two other men. Epps and his associates allegedly punched him in the face and kicked him in the stomach and back, WENN reported.

Lavar was taken to a local hospital with bruises and cuts. He was also seen wearing a neck brace in several photos that also show a cut to the forehead.

Now police are seeking Epps, who has been accused in the incident. Neither Walker nor Epps has spoken about the incident through themselves or a representative.

This isn't the first time Epps has gotten into trouble. Two months ago he was accused of hitting a woman at a movie premiere in Los Angeles.
