RICK Ross has gotten into a physical altercation with a group of men after his show in Canada for playing Kendrick Lamar’s diss track.
The rapper performed at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver on Sunday when the incident happened.
Fans approached Rick, 48, at 10:30 pm outside the venue and attacked him for allegedly using Kendrick’s diss track, Not Like Us, written for his nemesis, Drake, 37, to close out his set.
A group of 15 men were supposedly involved and wouldn’t let Rick pass them as they cornered him.
TMZ was the first to report the news, including a video of the brawl.
It showed Rick sharing a few choice words with one of the men before things escalated.
NASTY BRAWL
The man arguing with Rick then punched the rap star somewhere around his head, causing his drink to fly in the air.
It’s unclear exactly where Rick was hit.
Things got even more violent when several men were seen kicking a man on the ground and slugging him numerous times.
Sources told the outlet that the fight eventually broke up, and both parties left the scene.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Rick’s reps for a comment but has not heard back.
Rick Ross calls out ‘cupcake’ Drake and mocks his ‘big nose’ in brutal clap back as rappers trade blows in nasty feud
Kendrick’s song was part of the rapper’s public battle with Drake a few months back, which saw the stars trading insults and fans picking sides.
Rick has openly supported Kendrick, 37, in the feud; however, fans might have been more up in arms since Drake is from neighboring Toronto, Canada.
In April, Rick got involved in the pair’s beef when he released his own diss track, Champagne Moments, slamming the One Dance singer.
The song supposedly mimics Drake’s track Champagne Poetry.
DRAKE & KENDRICK FEUD TIMELINE
On October 6, 2023, Drake and J. Cole released First Person Shooter, in which J. Cole claimed that himself, Drake, and Kendrick are the “big three” of hip-hop.
On March 22, 2024, Kendrick responded to the claim of a “big three” in his verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s song Like That, where he instead stated, “It’s just big me,” and accused both rappers of sneak dissing.
On April 5, 2024, J. Cole dropped his Kendrick diss track, 7 Minute Drill, in which he fired “warning shots” at the rapper as he accused the good kid, m.A.A.d city artist of seeking “attention” and slammed his latest music releases as “tragic.”
But on April 7, 2024, two days after releasing the Kendrick diss, J. Cole retracted his statement and backed out of the feud, as he stated he felt pressured to respond because “the world wanna see blood.”
On April 13, 2024, Drake responded to Kendrick with Push Ups, which had lyrics ridiculing Kendrick’s height and his mainstream collaborations with Taylor Swift and Maroon 5.
The track also dissed rappers Future and Rick Ross and producer Metro Boomin.
On April 19, 2024, Drake dropped another diss track, Taylor Made Freestyle, that used AI-generated voices of Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur to pressure Kendrick to respond.
On April 30, 2024, Kendrick dropped Euphoria, a six-minute diss track, in which he criticized Drake’s biracial identity, questioned the rapper’s ability as a father, and claimed that Drake is a “scam artist.”
On May 1, 2024, Drake responded to Kendrick’s diss by posting a clip from the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You on his Instagram Story in which Julia Stiles’ character Kat lists the reasons she hates Heath Ledger’s character Patrick – mirroring a Euphoria bar where Lamar provides reasons he hates Drake.
On May 3, 2024, Kendrick dropped a second Drake diss track, 6:16 in LA in which Kendrick alleges Drake’s own team is working against him as he rapped, “Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it,” and stated Drake “can’t Toosie Slide up out of this one.”
After Drake responded with his diss track Family Matters, where he called accused Kendrick of infidelity, the Humble hitmaker would release Meet the Grahams, his fourth diss track against the Canadian rapper.
Rick made it clear the song was aimed at the former Degrassi star, as he featured a photo of a man who looked similar to Drake on the cover.
In the lyrics, the Everyday Hustle rapper claimed that Drake had a procedure on his nose to make him look different from his father.
“You ain’t never wanted to be a n***a anyway, n***a, that’s why you had an operation that make your nose looks smaller than your father nose,” Rick rapped.
Fans immediately caught on and praised the Mafia Music singer on social media for his clever comeback.
Drake later shared screenshots from a text conversation he had with his mom, who thought her son actually had a nose job due to Rick’s rumors.
As for Kendrick, he ripped Drake with a string of jabs in his multiple diss tracks, including accusing him of not raising his 6-year-old son, Adonis.
There have since been several incidents at Drake’s Toronto home from unruly Kendrick fans, with one involving a security guard working outside the gate getting shot.
