Rick Ross has addressed the incident involving Drake’s passionate fans, who confronted him after he made comments about the Toronto rapper during a performance at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver, Canada.
The Miami rapper, also known as “Da Boss,” performed at the festival on Sunday, delivering a set to his Canadian fans. However, the atmosphere soured when Rick Ross ended his performance with Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” a song that has become a controversial party anthem. The choice of song angered many in the audience, who felt he was disrespecting Drake, a beloved Canadian artist.
Following the performance, Rick Ross took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the event, seemingly unfazed by the confrontation. Posing in front of a black private jet adorned with his name in gold paint, he captioned the photo, “Vancouver it was fun, till next time.”
Despite the confrontation, Rick Ross appears eager to return to Canada for future performances. The altercation, which was caught on video and circulated on social media, shows a tense exchange between Rick Ross and a male festival attendee. The situation escalated when the man threw a punch at Rick Ross, leading to a brawl.
Drake has not publicly commented on the incident, but he did like a social media post featuring the video of the scuffle, suggesting his awareness and tacit approval of his fans’ actions. The ongoing feud between the two artists, which began in April, shows no signs of abating.
The tension between Rick Ross and Drake escalated earlier this year when Rick Ross accused Drake of undergoing cosmetic surgery to enhance his abs, mockingly dubbing him “BBL Drizzy.” Additionally, in his diss track “Champagne Moments,” Rick Ross attacked Drake’s biracial identity, calling him a “white boy” and rapping, “That’s why you had an operation to make your nose smaller than your father’s.”
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how this feud will unfold, but one thing is clear: the rivalry between Rick Ross and Drake continues to captivate fans and stir controversy in the music world.
