Singer David Whatley Allegedly Slapped Fan in Georgia and Said 'Eff You B, This Is for the Real Men'

The singer allegedly struck a woman from the stage during a Georgia concert before continuing his performance.

Singer David 'Sky' Whatley Jr. has been charged with battery after allegedly slapping a woman in the crowd during a concert in Tucker, Georgia, on 6 September 2026.

The alleged incident happened during the Legendary Awards Show & Concert at the Londzell Performing Arts Theatre. Whatley was performing when he allegedly struck front-row audience member Shamika Boyd.

Boyd attended the event to support her daughter, who was also performing as a DJ that evening. She later told 11Alive that she was unhappy with how the investigation had been handled.

What Happened to Shamika Boyd at David 'Sky' Whatley's Concert?

The alleged confrontation happened while Whatley was performing and Boyd was in the front row.

The reason for the alleged slap remains unclear. Boyd said she could not understand why Whatley had hit her, adding that she had not threatened him or placed him in danger.

'When he hit me, I was devastated,' Boyd told 11Alive.

Boyd also said Whatley allegedly flipped her off after the incident and told her, 'Eff you B, this is for the real men.'

According to the report, Boyd ended up with two black eyes, while composite material from one of her teeth reportedly fell off after the alleged blow.

What Happened With the David 'Sky' Whatley Arrest Warrant?

The alleged incident took place on 6 September, but police did not issue an arrest warrant until 28 September.

As of 2 October, no arrest had been made. Boyd's attorney, Shannin Render, said she had been told Whatley would turn himself in.

Render criticised the handling of the case and questioned why an active warrant had not resulted in an immediate arrest.

She also said she had been told authorities were going to allow Whatley to turn himself in rather than immediately taking him into custody.

Boyd said she felt her case was not receiving the same level of importance as other cases.

Why David 'Sky' Whatley's Battery Charge Is Being Questioned

The battery charge has also been questioned by an attorney representing Boyd.

Attorney Atiya Vereen argued that the reported injuries could warrant an aggravated battery charge because they involved alleged bodily injury.

That, however, is an attorney's assessment rather than a court finding. The report does not state that prosecutors have upgraded the charge.

It was also unclear whether Whatley was aware of the arrest warrant when the report was published on 5 October. The publication reported that footage of the alleged incident had circulated online following the concert.

The allegations against David 'Sky' Whatley Jr. have not been established in court, and the case remains subject to legal proceedings.
