Rick Ross and Drake fans might think reconciliation is unlikely, but recent events suggest there may still be hope for the former. For those unfamiliar, Ross and Detroit rapper Trick Trick have had a longstanding feud dating back to 2014, when Ross allegedly faced a ban from performing at Summer Jamz in Detroit. According to HipHopDX, Ross feared for his safety due to a blockade organized by Trick Trick that included a no-fly zone, stemming from perceived disrespect towards the city. However, that chapter appears to be closed now, as the two have resolved their differences with the assistance of Death Row Records cofounder Michael “Harry O” Harris.
Harry O organized the Community First Action concert in Pontiac, Michigan, on September 17, where he brought Ross and Trick Trick together on stage. The two embraced before Ross performed his 2010 hit “I’m Not A Star.” While this reconciliation is promising, Ross still faces other ongoing conflicts, including accusations from his ex Tia Kemp, who claimed he ordered hits on individuals.
On Instagram, Ross expressed his appreciation for the reconciliation with Trick Trick, saying, “I want to take time out and salute the ones really making a difference in the community… I’m sure everybody knows me and Trick Trick had our differences for over a decade, and here we are just moving forward, doing big things in the community.”
In another context, Ross addressed a feud with OVO fans earlier this year, stating, “We got our paper, we got to the jet… We had a conversation. ‘Let’s get back to the money.’” He noted that his friends were more upset about the incident than he was, emphasizing the importance of moving forward.
