Rapper Talib Kweli was thrown out of an after-party for his own record-listening event after he got into a fight with his wife, DJ Eque. Spies tell us Eque “flew into a rage and launched herself at Kweli” after she spotted him flirting with other women at the bash at West 14th Street bar Snap. Brooklyn-based Kweli has collaborated with stars including Kanye West and Mos Def. (NY Post)

A source from the event had also provided a blow-by-blow recap of what allegedly went down.

Our source said, “Kweli made a joke thanking the sponsor, Hennessey, for paying for his wedding in 2009, saying otherwise he wouldn’t have got married. The party later carried on in a private room. When his wife saw him chatting and being friendly with other women, she flew off the handle. She went at him and they were almost wrestling before they fell back on a table, smashing some glasses. Security then asked them to leave, and they carried on the argument outside as they got into their car.” Kweli and Eque couldn’t be reached. (NY Post)
