The bouncer, identified as Christian Cajigas, 42, told police that he advised the rapper that the club was filled to maximum capacity and that he would have to go to the front entrance, where they keep a count, so he could get in.
According to the report, Dequantes balled his hands and said, "I'm Rich Homie Quan and I'm a rich millionaire (expletive). I'm coming through these doors. I'm with Flo Rida."
Cajigas told officers that he told Dequantes, "There's no need for that here. Don't ball your fists. All you have to do is go through the front."
Cajigas said Dequantes then motioned for someone in his entourage to come forward. Dequantes then punched him in the face, breaking his nose and giving him a bloody lip, police said.
Cajigas said he was also punched in the back of the head.
According to police, Dequantes fled toward the dock, where he boarded a 30-38-foot boat.
Indian Creek Marine Patrol was called to check the waterway, but authorities have not located Dequantes at this time.
