AUSSIE rap star Chillinit was arrested outside a club moments before he was due to perform.
Blake Turnell, 31, was reportedly behaving drunkenly outside the New South Wales venue before cops were called to escort him off the premises.
The rapper has been charged with being an excluded person failing to leave premises when required and hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of duty.
Club staff reportedly contacted the police after Tufnell allegedly caused a scene while intoxicated.
Dramatic footage shows the moment cops cuffed the star and wrestled him into the back of a police vehicle.
Chillinit is heard arguing “nah, nah, I have a show to do,” as officers struggle to detain him.

One cop shouts “stop resisting” as he bundles the rapper’s legs into the paddy wagon.
The arrest happened just 35 minutes before he was due to take the stage as part of his All Aussie Adventures tour.
NSW police said they were called “due to the behaviour of patrons.”
The statement continues: “Officers attached to Richmond Police District arrived and trespassed a 31-year-old man due to his behaviour.
“When the 31-year-old allegedly failed to leave the premises, officers arrested him before taking the man to Ballina Police Station.
“He was charged with excluded person fail to leave premises when required and hinder or resist police officer in the execution of duty.”
Tufnell later shared a heartfelt Instagram apology to fans who were disappointed that the show had been cancelled at the last minute.
He wrote: “The grown man I’ve become though knows my mistake was drinking, after doing so well fighting that demon some tough times led me back to the bottle and led me to (where) I was last night.
“I don’t remember about 6 hours. HOWEVER, the police followed me to the venue to stop the show from going on, I hadn’t committed a crime at the venue.
“Unless there’s a charge you’re laying on me you can’t just come kick me out of my own show.”
He added that fans would receive a full refund.
Club Evans said they were “extremely disappointed that the show was cancelled in a separate statement.
The venue wrote: “Please know this situation was entirely outside of the Club’s control, and we truly share in the disappointment felt by everyone who was looking forward to the show.”
The rapper was granted conditional bail to appear before Ballina Local Court on February 12.
The incident is far from the first time Chillinit has been embroiled in controversy.
Last year, the Australian rapper’s wife shoved a female fan off the stage after she tried to dance with him.
Shocking footage shows the woman being thrown off the platform as she fell back into the crowd and injured her head.
In the middle of his performance, one female fan – said to be in her 20s – tried to climb up the stage to join the singer and dance with him.
However, she was tackled by Turnell’s wife Natasha Rayner, who blocked the woman from getting up on stage before shoving her off into the ground.
The fan was soon rushed to Cairns Hospital where an official confirmed the woman was in stable condition.
She was reportedly discharged shortly.
Turner revealed his wife “acted out of instinct” and was “distraught” about the incident.
The rapper told Cairns Post: “No one should rush a stage and the young girl, everyone felt for, but my wife reacted out of instinct.
“I shut the show down to get her medical attention and physically put her in an ambulance. I then also attended to my distraught wife.”
He added: “No one wants that at shows. No one should be hurt at a show, or rush the stage, period.
“And a man stands by his woman even after a mistake.”
