Atlanta rap trio Migos might win Best Club Banger at the BET Hip-Hop Awards this weekend for their song “Fight Night,” but NFL teams might want to refrain from playing it for a while.
The song, which contains the non-PG-13 chorus, “Hit it with the left, hit with the right. I'm a knock the p---- out like fight night,” was played Sunday afternoon at the Tennessee Titans’ LP Field in Nashville during game warm-ups.
The timing was particularly egregious considering that only days earlier, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was indefinitely suspended by the NFL after the instantly infamous video of his knockout punch to his now-wife was viewed several million times, and the Carolina Panthers benched defensive end Greg Hardy, who was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend this summer.
The Titans’ vice president of administration and facilities told ESPN that only radio versions of songs are played in the stadium, but the Migos song somehow landed on the playlist.
“Fight Night” is on the group’s “No Label 2” mixtape and has been present on the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks. It’s the biggest hit of Migos’ three-year career.
