Keoki assaulted by ICE
Sept 4 - NEWS RELEASE - ICE NIGHTCLUB ASSAULT + BATTERS KEOKI
Imagine the beating of Rodney King, and try to put Superstar DJ Keoki in the shoes of Rodney... it almost doesn't compute. ICE nightclub maliciously beat Superstar DJ Keoki to the ground Rodney King style atapx. 4am on the morning of September 4, 2006, ICE was a nightclub Keoki was used to being treated as royalty. Keoki has played for this nightclub at least 5 times in the past and has been flown out to Vegas and put up in a hotel by the nightclub numerous times. ICE also had their tour-bus advertising Keoki with his name and image all over the outside of the bus as marketing.
Keoki was simply dancing and signing autographs for his fans, when out of nowhere he was grabbed with extreme force and thrown out of the club. With over a dozen witnesses, they strapped on handcuffs very aggressively and threw Keoki to the ground. The purpose of the encounter was because Keoki wasn't wearing a shirt, Keoki hardly ever wears a shirt and shows off his tatoos when at ICE and has never had an issue with it in the past. His face was kicked multiple times as well as his stomach by more than five different club bouncers at once. Immediately, the police were called and dispatched Clark County Fire Department and Paramedics. Keoki had bruises all over from the extreme force, his arms were inflamed from the roughness of the handcuffs, and he was bleeding from his forehead,back, and arms.
Keoki is scheduled to play at ICE on 9-22 at the Vegas Music Conference official event. After these circumstances, there is speculation he will never support ICE nightclub nor be apart of any contributions/events/marketing with the club.
Keoki was completely sober and did not warrant this type of extreme force used against him. He speculates it may have been the nightclub bouncers not knowing who he was, and the intimidation of his tattoos all over his body. In any case, ICE is sure to pay for this incident both in legal costs as well as tearing along relationship with the Superstar DJ. "No one should be treated like that, I lost my watch, and Christian dior shades, this shouldn't happen to anyone, and yet it happened to me" -Keoki.
Later that morning he recieved a voicemail from ICE management informing him three of the bouncers were fired that evening. He woke up with a damaged rib cage, lacerations to the face, arm, stomach and back; as well as multiple bumps on his head from it being kicked in. A Nuerologist is scheduled to do an evaluation shortly. In the meantime, ICE is not a place Keoki will ever call home or be apart of in anyway and Keoki requests his fans to remain loyal to him and as far away from the ice nightclub as possible.

WTF! All because he wasn't wearing a shirt?! FUCK THAT! That shit makes me mad.
What the fuck is that all about? Total B.S. I am sure Keoki is going to shove an attorney so far up their ass that even their kids will be paying the settlement.
another reason vegas is a big cesspool of shiteating scum.
yeah the story sounds kinda sketchy though, he gets his face and ribs kicked in by 5 bouncers for dancing sober without a shirt on? then he's cuffed? what's really going on??? you'd think the bouncers would recognize his tats since he plays there shirtless regularly. keoki was definitely brutalized here, but something's missing...
there's gotta be more to it than what was said above... i couldn't see the reasoning behind wailing someone for taking their shirt off
damn, i guess i just left when that happen. Left around 4 and saw cops and fire truck roll up to ice.
I have partied at ICE many times, and have had my shirt off on occasions. There is something more to this story for sure.
Yeah, there is no way that is the real deal.. I have been to ICE many times and seen them kick out many poeple and they are never rough, unless the person they are romving gives them a hardtime. Ain't nobody gonna beat the crap out of someone for the hell of it, there is ALWAYS a reason. Especially in this type of public display.
The funny thing for me, is that the bouncers at ICE are probably the nicest I have ever delt with. WTF!
I saw it happen!!!! I left dish at jet to head over to Ice at around 345 in the morning, as I entered I watched some dude get taken' out of the side of the club and they threw him on the ground. I didn't know what the hell was going on *don't know why teehee* so i just went in. I found out later that evening that it was Keoki!! crazyness!!

holy sh*t! must remember to wear a shirt! 
After a bit of investigation, this is how it went down.
Security guard #1: Sir can you please put your shirt back on.
Keoki: Yeah yeah whatever
5 minutes later
Security guard #2: Sir in this club you have to have your shirt on
Keoki: Yeah yeah whatever
5 minutes later
Security guard #3: Sir can you please put your shirt back on.
Keoki: Yeah yeah whatever
5 minutes later
Security guard #4: Sir can you please put your shirt back on.
Keoki: F you don't you know I am Keoki God the DJ
Security guard #4: STFU SLAP
i'm thinking maybe a noob bouncer approached him about his dress, keoki responds with some sort of 'do you know who i am?', bouncer says something like 'i don't care who you are', both guys think they are in the right and proceed confidently, things escalate, maybe get lightweight physical and more bouncers are radio'ed in to respond. when the other bouncers approach they have no idea who he is, only that someone on their crew is getting roughed around by an angry shirtless clubber. just a theory though

| just talked to 2 people who saw everything.... There was an incident.. Keoki took off his shirt and ICE asked him to put it back on. Keoki made an issue of it and was asked to leave... On his way out Keoki friend called the cops and gave the cops a story, and when they arrived they arrested Keoki for false accusation. Keoki made alot of it up. |

nice promo shot!
yea something seemed wrong about it all. They have some new people working security, but I doubt it went down as he tells it. You can always tell someone is lying when they say, 'i was just minding my own business when...'.
its not gonna hurt ice tho, they get a lot better talent than him. He is more of a circus show than anything.
lol

last time i saw keoki he was wearing nothing but assless chaps
oh and party monster FTW
I always seem to hear interesting stories about this guy 
.
I once met up with a couple from the south at Virgin records. We got into a conversation and Keoki was mentioned. Not sure how truthfull this is but allegedy Keoki was spinning somewhere in Louisianna and about 30 minutes into his set he starts fucking up really badly and next thing you know he passes out right on the turn tables and then had to be dragged out of the event by an ambulance because he nearly overdosed on some shit.
