Rick Ross and bodyguards allegedly attacked after playing ‘Not Like Us’ at Canada event

At a Vancouver music festival, Rick Ross and his bodyguards were allegedly attacked after playing ‘Not Like Us’

Rapper Rick Ross reportedly faced an altercation after his performance at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia. The incident occurred after Ross concluded his set by playing Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which is directed at fellow rapper Drake. This act seemingly provoked some concertgoers, leading to a physical confrontation.

According to a video posted by DJ Akademiks on his Twitter/X account, individuals who appear to be Ross and his security team were attacked by several men. The video shows security personnel being punched repeatedly in the face and body, with some hitting the ground.

DJ Akademiks commented on the situation, saying, "I guess Canada not having any trolling wit no mans playing ‘Not Like Us’ in their country. Pray for peace y’all. Ross and Drake use to make slaps. Sad it got to this part." The video and comments highlight the tension surrounding the incident, although it has not been confirmed if Ross and his team were indeed the individuals involved or if anyone sustained injuries.

Ross's involvement in the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has been notable. In April, he released "Champagne Moments," a track targeting Drake, accusing him of various personal issues and challenging his authenticity. This song, along with "Not Like Us," has stirred significant controversy, especially within Drake's fan base.

The diss track "Not Like Us" has gained substantial popularity, reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Kendrick Lamar performed the song multiple times at his recent concert, "The Pop Out: Ken & Friends," and it was referenced during the 2024 BET Awards on June 30.

As tensions continue to rise in the rap community, the incident at the Ignite Music Festival underscores the potential real-world repercussions of musical feuds. There has been no official statement from Ross or his representatives regarding the incident at this time.
