Across the industry, other artists have chosen sides, and now Rick Ross is the latest big name to get involved.

Rick Ross was attacked in Canada after playing a Kendrick Lamar song at his show.

After playing at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver on the evening of June 31, 2024, Rick Ross decided to end his performance by loudly belting out Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” a Drake diss track calling the Canadian rapper a pedophile. This enraged a group of about 15 Drake fans known as the “BC Demons,” who cornered Rick and his crew after the show.

What began as a verbal argument quickly escalated into a brawl, according to a video shared by TMZ. While there is currently no news on Rick’s health or if he was seriously injured during the fight, it definitely looks like he was punched directly in the face.
