Bam Margera Got Beaten Up by an Icelandic Rap Crew

This article was translated from Noisey Switzerland.

This weekend, Bam Margera got beaten up by the Glacier Mafia. That’s actually not a joke. The Glacier Mafia is a rap crew, formed by Gísli Pálmi, the millionaire son of one of the richest Icelanders. The former Jackass star and the rapper got in a fight at the Icelandic music festival, Secret Solstice Festival.

Every artist and crew member at the Secret Solstice I asked about the incident seemed to agree on one thing: Bam Margera was being a jackass. Speaker Ósk Gunnarsdóttir from the festival said that Bam was “in a strange condition“ and tried to enter a production area. Two female employees tried to stop him, it got an little bit rough, and rapper Pálmi and his crew intervened.

Margera spends a lot of time in Iceland, since his wedding took place in Reykjavik. He and his wife Nicole Boyd are well known for their rooftop after hours parties.

According to Margera, though, there’s a whole different story behind the incident. Watch the video of the fight and Margera’s statement below via Icelandic news site Visir.
