After footage of Z-Ro being jumped by Trae the Truth and his goons went viral, Z-Ro claimed on social media that he was sucker punched.
“I was at 50 charity dinner on Saturday [Aug. 27] and some supporters asked for a pic… then I saw Trae approaching,” Z-Ro said in a statement to XXL. “He asked if he could Holla at me… I turned around to see who he was talking to and he asked if I could follow him to the side of a sprinter bus. I’m thinking we [about] to talk like 2 grown men, but I was sucker punched. When that happened… several other dudes (who I don’t have affiliation with) jumped in.”
The blood cousins have had beef for a while and had traded barbs in songs over the years.
Z-Ro says the video clip circulating did not tell the whole story.
“The video circulating is a portion of what took place,” Z-Ro wrote in his statement. “The beginning, where I was asked to come over, is not shown! At the end of the day, I came to the event One Deep and to meet my artist Lolita Monreaux so we could support 50. I didn’t anticipate any altercation to take place especially since I’ve been asking that man for a 1 on 1 for charity for at least [two] years.”
