According to Ross, this confrontation caused the man to back down immediately.
Ross went on to describe how another person in the crowd claimed to know MMA, which was followed by Ross being hit with a drink. He firmly denied being punched, stating, “I’m still convinced ain’t no n#### punch me.” Ross emphasized that someone had thrown a drink at him, which he considered more disrespectful than a physical punch.
The rapper’s comments came after various reports and social media posts suggested he had been punched during the altercation.

In response, Ross posted a close-up video of his face on Instagram to dispel these rumors.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions from fans and fellow artists. Some have mocked Ross, while others have shown support. Notably, 50 Cent took to social media to poke fun at Ross, continuing their long-standing feud.
