The well-known rapper and businessman Rick Ross was involved in an unplanned altercation on Sunday night after his performance at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver. According to reports, the altercation started as soon as Ross performed Kendrick Lamar’s contentious Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” during his performance.
The Mishap
The moment when a fight broke out into physical violence between Ross and his crew and a few others is captured on camera and has been circulated on social media. A man’s punch hit Ross in the face in the middle of the altercation. The ensuing altercation, which involved several people from both sides, lasted for several minutes.
Response and Reaction
Inquiries about the incident have not yet been answered by Rick Ross’s representatives. Ross seemed unfazed by the physical altercation and continued to post updates on social media following the incident. He appeared to be accepting of the situation as he laughed and savored champagne in one Instagram Story. In a different photo, he was seen standing erect in front of an aircraft and expressed gratitude to Vancouver for the opportunity.
Selection of Music as a Trigger
According to TMZ, the altercation started because of Ross’s choice to end his performance with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” a song that is well-known for its satirical barbs directed at Drake. Hip-hop fans have been interested in learning more about the ongoing rivalry between Lamar and Drake, as their diss tracks frequently spark rumors and debate.
Hip-Hop Scene Response
Although Rick Ross has not commented on the incident directly on social media, his attitude is different from Drake’s subdued acknowledgement, as the rapper is said to have liked an Instagram video of the fight. Other industry professionals have also responded to the incident by reposting footage of Ross leaving the altercation, including 50 Cent.
Context of History
Rap feuds are not new for Rick Ross; he has previously engaged in disputes with Drake. When Drake made a reference to Ross in his song “Push Ups,” Ross responded with “Champagne Moments,” in which he talked about a variety of subjects, including Drake’s purported cosmetic surgery.
The Vancouver altercation highlights how intense and occasionally explosive the tensions are within the hip-hop community. As the fallout from this incident continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the influence of music and rivalries in shaping public perception and interactions within the industry.
