A heated brawl broke out at a Rick Ross concert in Vancouver on Friday night, sparked by the performance of a diss track aimed at fellow rapper Drake.
The incident occurred during Ross’ performance of his song “Idols Become Rivals,” which includes lyrics criticizing Drake for his alleged use of ghostwriters. As Ross rapped the lyrics, a group of concertgoers began throwing punches and pushing each other in the crowd.
According to witnesses, the fight quickly escalated and security had to intervene to break it up. Several people were reportedly injured, including one person who was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The Vancouver Police Department confirmed that they were called to the scene and are currently investigating the incident. No arrests have been made at this time.
This is not the first time that tensions between Ross and Drake have spilled over into violence. In 2015, a similar brawl broke out at a concert in Detroit during Ross’ performance of the same diss track.
Fans of both rappers have taken to social media to express their disappointment and frustration with the violence at the concert. Many are calling for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing feud between Ross and Drake.
The Rick Ross concert was part of the rapper’s “Port of Miami 2” tour, which has been met with critical acclaim. It is unclear if the incident will have any impact on future tour dates.
In the wake of the brawl, concert organizers have released a statement condemning the violence and stating that they are working with authorities to ensure the safety of all concertgoers.
As the investigation continues, it is important to remember that violence has no place in the music industry or in our society. We hope that this incident will serve as a reminder to all to promote peace and unity, rather than division and aggression.
