The New York City Diamond District jeweler seen getting pummeled in a viral video<\/a> blasted his rivals as jealous \u201cf\u2013king losers\u201d \u2014 and claimed the fight erupted after he confronted them for ripping off a customer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TraxNYC owner Maksud Agadjani, 39, said Friday\u2019s wild brawl between him, George Akay, 46, and Freddy Akay, 42, broke out after the brothers sold a $22,000 diamond bracelet to a customer \u2014 allegedly misleading the buyer that it was a TraxNYC piece, according to Agadjani.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Agadjani \u2014 whose clients include YouTube giant Mr. Beast and rappers Kodak Black and Busta Rhymes \u2014 said it\u2019s a recurring problem with the brothers, as he recalled the fight to The Post on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese were a family of f\u2013king losers that were jealous that I was a successful jeweler and would constantly try to steal my clients by saying they were me,\u201d he claimed in a phone interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter repeated warnings, they refused to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

The customer confronted Agadjani on New Year\u2019s Eve about the pricey bracelet, leading him to fork over a refund, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave the guy his money, and I went to war,\u201d Adadjani\u00a0said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he approached the brothers \u2014 whose booth is only\u00a0two to three feet away in the shared space on West 47th Street \u2014 they refused to cough up the dough, Agadjani alleged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to expose them for the frauds they are, and they wanted to kill me for it,\u201d he said, referring to the shocking videos he posted on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Footage shows the melee unfolding when Agadjani\u00a0stormed over to their booth, Akay Diamonds, and accused them of stealing from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s my f\u2014ing money, you motherf\u2014-er,\u201d\u00a0Agadjani\u00a0erupted while slamming the counter with the bracelet in front of shocked customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s my f\u2014ing money, bitch! I got this sh\u2014ty bracelet. Where\u2019s my money! What are you gonna do b\u2013ch?!\u201d he continued in the video, which he shared on Instagram to his 3.3 million followers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re using my name, you b\u2013ch. You f\u2014king thief,\u201d he shouted while holding up a receipt in front of one of the brothers\u00a0before security escorted\u00a0Agadjani\u00a0away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another video shows one of the Akay brothers spitting in Agadjani\u2019s face, leading to a massive brawl and Agadjani getting beaten.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFreddy was strangling me and George threw a whole scale at my head,\u201d he alleged, claiming the brothers\u2019 kin also were involved in the brawl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maksud Agadjani said the fight stemmed from the Akay brothers ripping off a customer traxnyc\/Instagram<\/p>\n

Adjani said his staff eventually came to his rescue and without them, he\u2019d be dead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they never came, I would have been strangled to death,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brothers were led out of the business in handcuffs, video shows, and later charged with assault. <\/p>\n

Maksud Agadjani ended up in the hospital after the wild fight. traxnyc\/Instagram<\/p>\n

Agadjani, meanwhile, was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he posted a video showing red marks on his neck underneath a massive chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He never wants to see the rivals again and plans to sue the pair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could have resolved it by just giving me back my f\u2014king money that I gave back to the customer,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [would] rather destroy their entire jewelry\u00a0business and career because they are f\u2013king greedy animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Akay brothers could not be immediately reached for comment Sunday night.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York City Diamond District jeweler seen getting pummeled in a viral video blasted his rivals as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[42297,68,7052,57,360,9,56,63,65,64,58,1688],"class_list":{"0":"post-89195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-city","8":"tag-diamond-district","9":"tag-exclusive","10":"tag-fights","11":"tag-metro","12":"tag-midtown","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-ny","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-nyc-headlines","17":"tag-nyc-news","18":"tag-us-news","19":"tag-viral-videos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
