Milwaukee, WI - On Sunday, Nelson Diaz, aka, Jazz The Playboy was taken into custody after he assaulted Mario Rolando Flores, DJWolf and the female manager of the SkyBar at the 700 block of W. Greenfield Ave. The altercation between Diaz, Flores and the bar manager happened around 9:24 p.m. and the incident was video recorded. Flores posted multiple videos on his Facebook account of the incident.
Diaz apparently went to the SkyBar to confront Flores, what seemed to be an ongoing dispute about Diaz posting a 19 minute video of himself disgruntled about his experience and losing in a karaoke competition where Carlos Montenegro, a Mexican national won the contest on Thursday night and was awarded $1,500. The karaoke contest was sponsored by Rivera's Western Wear at the VIP Lounge in the Southside of Milwaukee.
In the personal video, Diaz criticized Montenegro including his physical appearance of having a big gut, bad performance and for only singing Mexican regional songs. Diaz is Puerto Rican and he ranted that he should have won and that the judge panel robbed him from his victory and cash prize. Diaz also insulted Mexican nationals, their families and even brought up, if those persons posting comments in his FB comment thread had green cards or social security numbers and he even threatened to report them to immigration officials.
Diaz later posted another FB video saying that he didn't mean what he said and that he was just mad and venting because some people referred to him as being gay and that he couldn't take a defeat during a karaoke contest. Diaz told everyone on FB that he was sexier and was the best singer of all for singing various genre of music including a Mexican song. The karaoke judges didn't agree and selected Montenegro as the winner.
He eventually admitted to the defeat at the contest, but says that he was exercising his right to give his own opinion, which actually resulted in insulting members of the Mexican community in Milwaukee.
As a result, he landed in police custody for igniting an altercation at the SkyBar.
Alejandro Rivera, a radio program host in La GranD 104.7 FM and the sponsor of the Karaoke contest released the following statement to Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA), "The karaoke contest was organized to unite the community and to have a friendly competition to showcase the variety of talented Latino people in Milwaukee. We will not stop organizing another contest because one person can't handle the reality that he wasn't picked as the winner. We will continue to promote the art of singing, performance and handing out a cash prize. We welcome anyone to participate in our next contest." According to Rivera, the next karaoke amateur and semi-pro contest will start on January 24.

Update: According to Flores, Diaz went to the bar and began to insult Flores while he was seating down at the bar and doing a live Facebook (FB) feed as he does occasionally to invite patrons to SkyBar where he DJs. Flores says that he ignored Diaz, but Diaz then struck Flores while seating down at the bar and also struck the female bar manager. Flores reacts immediately and defended himself while the FB live feed continued. Police soon after arrived and placed Diaz on handcuffs and was briefly arrested. Diaz was taken outside and later released and was cited for the incident. Police later came into the bar and took Flores outside and a female police officer who spoke Spanish told Flores to erased the FB videos or he would be arrested while other officers stood by. Flores complied and erased the FB videos.
Police Officer A. Luebbe wrote a $195.00 citation to Flores claiming that "Subject made a treat on Facebook to do harm to victim (Diaz), which actually Flores was the actual victim in the incident instead of Diaz, who was the aggressor. Flores released the videos where Diaz attacked Flores inside the SkyBar and several videos where police had Diaz outside and where Flores is outside with at least four cops including the female Spanish speaking cop forcing Flores to erase the FB videos he has posted on Facebook. In other words, the cops force Flores to erase evidence where Diaz attacked him and other videos of the incident.
Diaz later posted on his FB account that he wanted to make it clear, that he was detained by police and had not been arrested.
