Overview

  • The 30-second video, first posted to Reddit, shows a masked passenger taunting Adams on a Dallas–Fort Worth jet bridge as he replies, “Go f— yourself” and warns, “You’re gonna see the Brooklyn in me.”
  • The footage begins mid-argument and does not show what led up to the exchange, and no law-enforcement action or full, independent footage has been released.
  • The witness who filmed the clip claims the dispute started after the woman booed Adams and that he threatened to punch her before recording began, a claim not corroborated by other evidence.
  • Adams’ spokesperson says he was harassed and that the clip misrepresents the encounter, while Adams reposted coverage on X with the one-word response, “Exactly.”
  • The incident follows Adams’ rollout of the NYC Token cryptocurrency, which briefly surged before falling and drew investor criticism, with project backers attributing the swings to liquidity rebalancing.
