Rick Ross And Trick Trick Squash Their Decade-Long “No Fly Zone” Beef
In a powerful display of unity, Rick Ross and Trick Trick put their long-standing feud behind them during Michael “Harry O” Harris’ Our Community First Action concert in Pontiac on Tuesday (Sept. 17).
The moment marked a significant turning point in their relationship, as the two artists embraced onstage, showcasing solidarity in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
Following he and Trick Trick’s truce, which was brokered by the Death Row Records co-founder and financier, Ross took to the mic to perform his classic 2010 track, “I’m Not A Star.”
Afterward, he expressed his admiration for the efforts being made in the community. “I want to take time out and salute the ones really making a difference in the community,” Rozay said, acknowledging Harry O’s initiatives with Community First.
“You flying me out last night, you having Trick Trick bring me out on stage. 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.”
The reconciliation comes after years of tension, particularly stemming from an incident in 2014 when Trick Trick allegedly prevented Ross from performing at the city’s Summer Jamz concert. The conflict arose after Ross faced criticism for not “checking in” with influential figures in Detroit.
However, Trick Trick seemingly distanced himself from allegations of attempted extortion against Ross in the wake of Rozay’s absence from the Summer Jamz concert, minimizing the discord as a personal issue between two artists. “That man’s a musician. I’m a musician,” Trick Trick said at the time.
“We musicians. Our business don’t belong on the internet. And it ain’t none of your motherf**king business what me and that man [got] going on. Or what the f**k happened out there that day.”
He added, “What the f**k I look like telling a man he gotta pay me to come to my damn city? I don’t mean no-motherf**king-body no harm. If I had an incident with an individual and some hands got put on that motherf**ker. Aye, god damnit that’s what the f**k happened.”
