According to The Fader, Joey Bada$$ has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (via Billboard), the 19-year-old rapper punched a 20-year-old security guard after the guard stopped and checked his credentials before he went on stage on Friday (Jan. 2).
