Footage seemingly showing a confrontation involving Rick Ross breaking out after Kendrick Lamar’s Drake-dissing hit "Not Like Us" was played at an event in Canada is making the rounds on social media.

"You got a problem?" an unknown individual is heard saying in subsequently shared footage showing Ross near, but not on, the stage. Meanwhile, as the crowd compresses, Kendrick’s "Not Like Us" is heard playing loudly in the background.

A demand for the song to be turned off is also heard, as are shouts of this being "our city." To be clear, who, exactly, was shouting at (and ultimately confronting) Ross was not confirmed as of this writing.

At one point, Ross appears to take a hit to the face from an unknown person; from there, multiple people get involved before the crowd starts to scatter. Things temporarily stall out as the scattering continues, though a few moments later, the incident is set back in motion with more punches. Ross’ DJ, Sam Sneak, also appears to have gotten caught up in the incident.

As footage started flooding social media, Drake himself liked at least one ensuing post about the incident, as seen below.

Complex has reached out to Rick Ross' reps for comment. This story may be updated. While Ross had not directly commented on the incident as of this writing, he did share an Instagram Stories update Monday morning that mentioned his "fun" Vancouver visit.

The track saw Rozay calling Drake "white boy" and claiming that he got a nose job.
