The following information is being published in the Las Vegas weekly and is now public information. ICE is facing SERIOUS repercussions based on the beating and extreme assault and battery towards Superstar DJ Keoki which occured in front of a dozen witnesses on 9-4-06.



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 at
apx. 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. ICE also had their tour-bus
advertising Keoki with his name and image all over the outside of the
bus as marketing. Keoki was minding his own business the morning of
Sept. 4 at ICE, with his brother Koa who came to Vegas to welcome him
in his new residence. 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. 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 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 a
long relationship with the Superstar DJ. "This shouldn't happen to anyone, no one should be treated like that, and yet it happened to me.I lost my watch, and Christian dior shades to top it off" 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.--
