Rick Ross seems unbothered after he got into an altercation with Drake‘s OVO goons after playing Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at a show in Canada.
As previously reported, Rozay was performing at Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver on Sunday (June 30) when he played K.Dot’s chart-topping diss track, which contains accusations that Drizzy is a pedophile, among several other shots.

As he left the stage with the song still playing, the 48-year-old was confronted by a group of men who were seemingly angered by him playing the track on Drake’s home soil. The two parties then exchanged words before one of the men sucker punched the rapper in the face, leading to an all-out brawl that last for several minutes.
Team OVO appeared the clear winners in the fight, during which a number of people from Ross’ entourage were beaten up and knocked to the floor. One of the MMG mogul’s people was left lying unconscious on the grass and had to be carried away at the end of the melee, whereas the Florida native himself largely avoided the scuffle after being initially punched.

When videos of the incident began making the rounds online, he popped up in the comments section of an Instagram post about it and joked: “I thought they were bottle service boys. Ha!”
He even took to his on Story soon after the incident and shared a photograph of himself in front of his private jet — stamped over the image were the words “Vancouver it was fun, till next time.”

In the clip, Rick Ross seemingly managed to escape unscathed (minus the initial punch) and was seen fleeing the fight with help of the festival’s security.
Never one to pass up an opportunity to troll his longtime rival, 50 Cent reposted the footage on Instagram of Ross and wrote: “LMAO [crying face emoji] THE GREAT ESCAPE! MEEKA CALL THE CHASERS, THEY ARE CHASING ME. [grinning face emoji] LOL.”
He also shared a video of Rozay’s ex-girlfriend Tia Kemp mocking the rapper for “throwing no blows,” adding in the caption: “my guess is ya, won’t be going back to Canada acting like it ain’t what it is. LOL @tia_kemp2.”
In a follow-up video, Fif sarcastically expressed concern for Ross and his entourage while discussing the brawl.

“Hey guys. I just saw a very unfortunate situation that took place in Canada, and I want to say to everyone that I hope that that brother made it home safely,” he said. “I hope that he now has a different perspective and a better sense of what to do and what not to do while you’re out in the world.
“That part where that young guy went like [holds fists up to body] — he did this little move and shit and got knocked the fuck out — that does not reflect him; that reflects his camp. And he might need to go get the, uh, the Dream Chasers? Or [laughs] the 305 Killers?” he added before breaking character and chuckling.”
