Professor Green doesn’t understand why slapping a fan was a big deal

“I don’t understand why it became such a big thing?”

Professor Green made headlines after slapping a student at Durham University - just a reminder, he’s not a real professor and he wasn’t teaching there - he was rapping with his mouth. You never know, maybe he taught them something about life and why you shouldn’t slag off celebrities, especially if they’re in slapping-range.

Speaking to The Mirror at last night’s MOBO Awards, Prof said: "I don't reflect on things like that.” He said, while reflecting on that thing.

”If someone abuses you and throws their hand up at your face, then someone says that you hit a fan I'm just like like what fan? It happened. I mean, what's happened to rock and roll? I don't understand why it became such a big thing."

Yeah, that’s what rock and roll is all about. Collaborating with Emile Sande and slapping fans that have paid to see you. To be fair to the Prof - real name Stephen Manderson - the student reportedly called him a “c**t”.

Back on the MOBOs carpet, Professor Green added: "My life has become a domestic hell. I've got the dogs back in the house. I've had a new lawn laid. I don't feel that rock and roll [at the moment]. It's a bit boring. Maybe I'll just slap someone else. I won't by the way, that was a joke."

Good, we’re glad you’re not going to slap someone else Prof, otherwise that could’ve been our headline. “Professor Green seeks next slap victim as his slapping rampage begins again”.

The student in question (slapee?) is reportedly alive, so that’s good. A spokesperson for the venue told the Mail Online: “Green reacted when the student verbally abused him repeatedly and then went to strike him. The student was subsequently escorted out from the venue for being too drunk.”
