According to TMZ, the party was held at Young's pad in the Tarzana neighborhood of Los Angeles and he hosted a ton of his friends. When the fireworks portion of the party came up, the man known as Swaggy P decided it would be smart to hold the close-to-exploding mortar.

Luckily for Young, his hand, which we can only assume is used "strictly for buckets," wasn't damaged in the act.
