Juvenile attacked a man at a Waffle House in South Carolina Friday night after the customer saw the rapper walk in and said, "Juvenile here, here come all the hos now."

An eyewitness tells TMZ, Juvenile was with his wife and his posse when the guy made the comment, and clearly felt his wife had been insulted. Seconds later, Juvenile and some of his boys jumped the customer and beat him ... as the surveillance video shows.
