When videos of the incident began making rounds online, the rapper popped up in the comments section of an Instagram post about it. He joked “I thought they were bottle service boys. Ha!”

50 Cent Chimes In
Leave it to 50 Cent to step in and troll the situation. He reposted the footage on Instagram of Ross. The rapper wrote the caption read, “LMAO [crying face emoji] THE GREAT ESCAPE! MEEKA CALL THE CHASERS, THEY ARE CHASING ME. [grinning face emoji] LOL.”

In a follow-up video, 50 Cent sarcastically expressed concern for Ross and his entourage while discussing the brawl.
“Hey guys. I just saw a very unfortunate situation that took place in Canada, and I want to say to everyone that I hope that that brother made it home safely,” he said. “I hope that he now has a different perspective and a better sense of what to do and what not to do while you’re out in the world.”
“That part where that young guy went like [holds fists up to body] he did this little move and s— and got knocked the f— out that does not reflect him; that reflects his camp. And he might need to go get the, uh, the Dream Chasers? Or [laughs] the 305 Killers?” he added before breaking character and chuckling.
Rick Ross has yet to respond to the fight footage or 50 Cent’s taunts.
