"I put the $600 dollars on the table, everybody got naked," Sapp said in the video recorded by law enforcement. "We do what we do. When the other girl was up on top of me, she kept talking, kept talking. I'm like, 'Yo, why don't you use your mouth on me, instead of using it? ... I'm like, just don't worry about it. Just go. Just move. Your girl's doing a good job. I'll be done with her in a minute.''

Sapp begins to break down in the video when he realizes he is going to jail. He said the dispute started when one of the women requested a tip. He told the women to leave, before one of them took his phone and called security. According to Sapp, the situation escalated hwen one of the women spit on him. He then chased them down the hallway, naked, to recover his phone. He would end up being charged with two counts of assault and a count of soliciting prostitution.
