There was a wild brawl on a Saturday in Montgomery, Alabama. You won’t believe it, but it all went down when a cruise ship worker was trying to park the ship. Like, really? The video of the whole crazy scene went viral, and guess who noticed? Gmac Cash, the cool Detroit rapper! You might remember him from his hit songs about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and that famous Belle Isle slide. Now he’s back with a new rap called “The Montgomery Brawl.” Yep, you read that right!

Here’s the scoop: a video started floating around on Sunday showing a Black dock worker arguing with a white dude. Why? Well, the police later said it was about a private pontoon boat hogging the space needed to park a riverboat. Things got spicy when another white guy jumped in and decided to throw a punch at the worker. Talk about getting things all mixed up! Then, like a domino effect, more white guys joined the fight. It was like a chaotic dance party, but with punches.
Gmac Cash, the man of the hour, thought this was a big deal for the Black community. He was like, “Wow, look at us all coming together.” He even made a shout-out in his rap to the swimming hero, the teen who swam to the brawl. Yeah, that’s right, a brawl with a side of swimming. And he didn’t forget about the old saying, “We can’t swim.” Gmac Cash added a twist by saying, “Hey, look at this dude swim!” Who knew a brawl could make you want to learn to swim?

Now, remember those guys I mentioned earlier? The ones throwing punches? Yeah, the police chief, Darryl Albert, called them out by name: Richard Roberts, 48; Allen Todd, 23; and Zachary Shipman, 25. Apparently, these guys aren’t even from Montgomery. One’s in custody, and the others are getting ready to face the music. Oops, I mean the police.
But wait, there’s more drama! There’s a Black guy named Reggie Gray, and he’s seen in the video wielding a chair like he’s about to go all Hulk-smash. The police are practically begging Reggie to give them a ring. I mean, chairs and fights, who can resist?
Gmac Cash’s rap has got it all covered. He’s rapping about the hat-tossing showdown at the start of the brawl, a wrestling move that came out of nowhere, and even the “unc with the chair.” Yep, that’s a Black guy holding a white folding chair. Who knew chairs could be such a big deal?
This brawl didn’t just stay in Montgomery; it took over the internet! Memes, funny videos, and people passionately talking about it everywhere. The chair even became famous enough to be on t-shirts sold on websites. And guess what? An old quote by Shirley Chisholm got a makeover because of this: “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” Talk about folding in style!
Even in Detroit Rapper, the brawl made waves. Facebook was full of posts about it. Brittni Brown, a PR expert, shared a meme that had ancestors shaking their heads. She’s like, “This is how they’d feel if they saw this mess.” If only our ancestors could text their reactions!

Nationally, people couldn’t get enough. Instagram’s The Shade Room posted a pic of folks holding what they thought was the “infamous chair.” And the date of the brawl? It’s got a new name now: “August 5th is National (Explicit) Around and Find Out Day.” Yep, someone made a holiday for the brawl. Who needs Thanksgiving when you have a brawl-day?
Montgomery’s mayor, Steven Reed, had to chime in too. He tweeted, “We’re not having any of this nonsense. Justice will be served.” Reed, the city’s first Black mayor, knows a thing or two about history. Montgomery’s got a past of not-so-nice racial stuff, but Reed’s on a mission to change that.
