Over the weekend at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, Wack 100 was reportedly knocked out by someone that appears to be Nipsey Hussle’s former bodyguard, J-Roc. While no details have been confirmed by either party, a video following Roc’s alleged attack on the music executive circulated Twitter on Monday morning (Dec. 16), which many are saying was instigated by Wack’s previous Nipsey Hussle comments.
Several clips show what appears to be the aftermath of the fight, where Wack can be seen trying to push through event security to get to J-Roc while yelling, “He knocked me out!” Blueface, who Wack manages, is seen smiling in the background.
Several Twitter users believe the alleged knockout occurred over Wack’s comments about Nipsey, since he declared that the late rapper was not a legend.
“He wasn’t,” he told TMZ last month. “What’s a legend? Define a legend. Let’s keep it real. If Dr. Dre died right now, we’d say we lost a legend, right? Based upon what? Numbers, right? Body of work, right? How many albums did Nipsey drop? One album, right? This not no personal sh*t. This is real sh*t.”
“The man died with a million followers. No radio hits. No platinum hits. No world tours,” he continued. “After he died, he went platinum, sold a bunch of records, followers went up nine, 10 million. First of all, we gotta define what a f**king legend is and what it f**king ain’t. Was he on his way? I think within time, yes, he would have been. At the time of his demise… let’s keep it real. The truth can’t be defined as disrespect. If it is, that means you lying to your muthaf**king self.”
In another instance, an audio clip surfaced where Wack could be heard seemingly defending Eric Holder, Nipsey’s alleged murderer’s, actions.
“The alleged gunman, when it comes to the rules of engagement of gang banging, he did what he was supposed to do when another gang banger calls you a fa*got, a pedophile or a snitch,” he said. “You supposed to handle your business. And can’t nobody say that’s wrong.”
Wack later apologized for the audio snippet on social media, at the urging of Nipsey’s former manager, Eugene “Big U” Henley. However, he defended his ‘legend’ argument on the “No Jumper” podcast.
“All these radio stations, all these people is all fake. I can speak on it because I was part of the Nipsey Hussle movement getting him his first multi-million dollar deal,” he said. “You got a man who died with a million followers and no radio hit and no f**king platinum plaques. But because everyone start talking like it’s a goddamn Popeyes chicken sandwich… So where was all these fans?… He didn’t die an A-list artist. Y’all talking about he’s a legend. If he’s a legend why didn’t y’all treat him like that when he was here?”
The Game, who Wack also manages, Meek Mill, T.I. and others have argued against Wack’s comments on social media.
