Rappers Rick Ross and Young Jeezy have never bee the best of friends and you will rarely see them within 10 feet of each other, but Saturday evening during the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, someone dropped the ball and the two came face to face.
Rawse & Jeezy have been beefing for years and they reportedly exchanged a few words that escalated into a physical altercation backstage during the awards show.
I was among the first to spill the tea online via twitter…
No one knows (or is telling) what exactly started the scuffle but it only takes a mean mug from one or the other to get thangs poppin.
A bit of the scuffle was captured on video below…
According to TMZ, who obtained the above footage:
In the video, security can be seen stepping in between the various combatants almost immediately, separating everyone before the fight got out of hand. A shirtless Rick Ross can be seen yelling before being escorted away from the scene.
Whoever Ross was yelling at tried to follow after him, but security stepped in before he could get there. There was one casualty however — a random mirror.
I was sitting in my seat eating a pretzel when the drama popped off and was NOT backstage in the midst of it, but I received several texts and phone calls from a few industry insiders who were.
“They say” shots were fired but Atlanta Police, who were on hand throughout the evening, issued a statement saying that the gunshots rumor wasn’t true…
Shortly after 7:15 pm Saturday, a fight broke out in the parking lot at the Atlanta Civic Center (where the BET Awards were being taped) between two groups. Atlanta Police Department officers on scene responded to break up the fight and used OC spray in the process. Individuals fled the scene. There were no arrests or reports of serious injuries.
Reports of shots fired appear to be untrue
I didn’t hear any gunshots, but I dunno what all happened outside in that parking lot.
DJ Drama, who can be seen in the video above walking swiftly away from the scene, spoke about the incident on his radio show, stating:
Some words got exchanged. There were some ‘What’s ups’. Security got hostile. [There was] some interesting conflict between Ross and Jeezy and it just went bad backstage.
I’m assuming that there is no way BET thought that these guys were gonna run into each other. Definitely not. All parties walked away unscathed that’s for sure. One party went one way, one party went the other.
All this stuff about shots getting fired. I can’t confirm any of that. I left. (source)
Here’s the thing… Jeezy’s burning bridges that he may have to cross again soon. His best friend is suing him for half his earnings over the years, claming he was being shady with CTE company money AND he’s still gettin’ the side eye around town about Big Meech’s letter exonorating T.I. of being a “snitch” due to the fact that his BMF homey spoke out for the first time and didn’t even bother to mention his name (but that’s a story for another day).
All I know is… this is waaaayyyy ‘deeper than rap’!
Is this the beginning of a new phase of “beef” between these two? To be continued…

a pretzel? lollllll. you dont look like the pretzel eating type. more like bucket of chicken.. be real. but this is old & other sites have way more details. can you post on usher putting the house tameka lives in up for sale? thx
u are wrong for that one…
He needs to not taken his shirt off in public! Other sites have posted about the house situation with usher and t.
That was one of the most nasty pictures I have seen in a minute, just GROSS, put on a bra and a shirt.
LOL I was going to post the same thing…no need to now.
Especially the "bra" part.!
If I cant show my tits in public, than neither can Rick Ross!!
Only in New Orleans.
rotflmbo
I’m actually surprised he let her live there that long. She was supposed to vacate after the divorce in 2009 but she wouldn’t let the realtors in or have an open house. He better than me because I would have been booted her. How I look paying for a house I don’t live in when my divorce decree says I don’t have to, not I. She said she independent and makes her own money and is not a gold digger, than she should have no problem vacating the premises or buying it back from Usher.
She’s also the mother of his children. If you think all this is gonna sound good to these boys later on in life…Keep hoping and wishing.
"She’s also the mother of his children" This is why there are so many woman who think having a baby by a rich man keeps you set for life. She got what she got in alimony and the divorce settlement. His job is to provide for the children not pay for her residence, unless that is decided on in the paper work.
I dam near kicked the computer when I read this!!
lol I laughed at the pretzel part too…
Huh??…Ain’t this shyt called "StraightFromTheA"?? what type of shyt is that? What make you diss ATL artists and give props to the lamest, fakest niggahs of all time??
#SMH
#NoLoyalty

Rick Ross is from Miami Florida…a completely different state. Like i said tho, i was mislead by the logo on this site…but shyt…
#MyBad
#AndCarryOn
ATLien, anit nuthin wrong wit you liking who you like but get yo facts str8 before you spread rhetoric. Jezzy mushed ross in the face and ross pushed jezzy and jezzy swung on ross, hittin him once in the face before 12 broke it up. this slam you mentioning never happened. Lying ass hoe. @paulprosper
BOL…!! so glad for the clarification
Rick Ross is 40 years old and was a former corrections officer, why cant he be the cooler of the heads? Who controls this confusion?These people know what can happen when a few unhinged folks start flexing and popping off at the mouth-death and destruction awaits fools….Chappelle was joking when he said,"They should have never gave you N#$%^S money"…Heck, he wasn’t never lying because this is some mess, if I ever seen it.SMH
It look like their entourage and not them.
Y’all betta watch how you talk about my Big Daddy….Rozay
He’s 40? and so is Jay Z, Dumb Diddy, and the list goes on. So please. At the end of the day…can’t none of these people(under 40, over 40) see him. The End!
He can wear what he wanna wear or don’t wanna wear : ) casue his fans say so. So, Get Yo Life
???
I just watched the video?Ummm…. it was "fifty dudes" walking exteremely close like packs of wild dogs looking for a fight. Should I be concerned that my brothers don’t understand that their actions can be felt around the country-foolishness is transferrable.Bizarre.
Thank you D.J. Drama for having the sense to go home, when stupidity gets popped off.
Black rap dudes, You see TMZ was there filming this mess, so people can see you all and talk about yall like doggs.
These fools darn near 50 and still acting crazy?Shyne did 10 years in jail over some mess;go ahead and act a fool if you want to…SMH
Shit like this dont happen at the Country Music Awards.
Michelle, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I get a sense that you maybe to involved with these artist.I am only saying this because in dangerous situations like this, someone that may be on the fringes of the beef can turn it around on you. They may even try to harm you for some sick brownie points.This is something I have noticed and some of these srtist stans are certifibly crazy and mentally challanged.
Please be carefull and stay safe.They are throwed off out in this world.
It’s called being a groupie, but trying to act like you’re ‘in’.
Rick Ross better sit his fatass down before he have another seizure. All that stress ain’t worth your health.
TRUE!!
I can’t identify Jeezy in the video. But I think Officer William is starting to believe his own hype. His whole existence is stolen from the real Rick Ross. He’s a studio gangster that was a football player turned corrections officer.
And the person you tryin to side with…is a studio gangsta…slash self hating- no talent havin-has been…and thank goodness for that!…tryin to stay relevant by actin like he can stump with a King!
Chick please…get yo life. Real Gangsta are in the trenches. Ask somebody…not lyin in songs about doing stuff they never done
It don’t matter what job(s) Rozay has held in life…he know how go get. Get your mind right
Oh yea…why don’t u ask somebody who really knows RickRoss if he used to go get some shyt…or simply get put on like the rest of the crew Trick Daddy let eat in Miami??
#AskSomebodyWhoReallyKnowCuzObviouslyYOUDONT
My peeps will definitely go out in public places and act a fool. I think they love the publicity.
Isn’t it usually the crew and not the artist…I didn’t see Rozay slap a fool…lol
Every time I hear about rappers fighting I just think "They should have never given you Ni**as money!"
HA
Gunplay got into it with 50cents security. The interview is on Power 105.1 (The Breakfast Club NY)
That’s the 2nd fight… Jeezy and Ross was the first.
Was the word exchange between 50 and Puffy the 3rd? Puffy walked away saying "I got too much money for this". High five for Puffy.
who is gunplay? next
lol
I guess BET knows that this award show will not get good ratings …so they asked these people to act like they don’t have good sense….lol 50, Puffy…Jeezy…sound like a pack of lames…they ain’t about that life…The End lol so stop.. lame story.
You so far up Rick Ross ass you should know who his artist are. You can like his talent but he is a fraud. He is portraying a character of Rick Ross and selling it to the masses. He never "whipping work" or selling anything through a IPhone. He is an actor just like Brad Pitt, only difference is that no one is yelling "cut" and he has to uphold this persona 24/7.
Uhm…these trifiling CONS in studios all need to take a phucking breather! SHut the hell up and grow the hell up!
And can this clown keep his shirt on? That shyt is not cute…at all!
Looking like a 9 month pregnant woman is not the bizness!
Apparently not the only fight that popped off. Gunplay did a interview stating 50 and 8 security guards jumped him and took his chain. He admitted to getting his tale whooped, but did say one security guard caught fade. Then there are reports that Diddy exchanged words with someone. Dang ATL! Can anything nice come there without your folks acting up? There was a point in history when BET Awards would not come to Atlanta. If I was the CEO, I would re-think the decision because yall don’t know how to act.
anotherNote says: "Dang ATL! Can anything nice come there without your folks acting up?"
_____________________________
You can’t possibly be serious?!?
It should seem obvious that it’s hot the people who live here but the one’s who COME HERE who cause the problems.
The hip-hop awards seems to be fading fast anyway. Most artists don’t even bother to show up anymore…
So ask yourself, what is it about ATL that makes people think that they can come on your turf and act a fool, making you all look bad. Could it be because they think the ratchet behavior is the norm there? SO yes the ATL is HOT but for all the wrong reasons and continue to attrack as such. I mean I don’t see those guys in NY, Las Vegas, or LA acting a fool. So yep I am serious. They need to enforce a dress code, rules and regulations,etc.
…..A fight breaking out at the BET Hip Hop Awards of all places…who woulda thought that when a bunch of thugs and studio thugs get 2gether something like this would happen??….hmmm
Exactly….LMAO Sounds like a set up…I’m just sayin lol
Mmmh…not commenting on that fight at all, plus there wasn’t much to see in that vid. All I wanna say is, if you gonna post pics of Ricky Rawse without his shirt on, you gonna need to put up a NSFW disclaimer, cuz there is something really not good about seeing his man-titties just all OUT like that.
Y’all better stay off My Rozay…You don’t want it..: )
Jeezy who? NEXT!!!!
Oh ok…you just stupid *whew*
#ChileIThoughtYouWasSeriousForAMoment
#CarryOn…
Both are idiots!
Well I clearly hear the comedian Shorty in this video. Anyone reachex out to him on whats his take of the situation?
These niggas are too damn old for this shit. Rick please stop taking your damn shirt off, the shit is terrible!!!
Are you serious? They both need to GROW THE HELL UP!!! What kind of example are they setting for young black kids (boys)? This is so sad! Don’t they understand that it takes a REAL man to rise above the bullshit and keep moving??!!! So what somebody said something that you don’t like…or maybe did something that you don’t like!! WHO THE HELL CARES! You’re not children arguing/fighting in the kindergarten yard…you are GROWN AZZ MEN!! Act like it!!!
AMEN TO THAT!!
Both rappers are famous for rapping about selling drugs. One named him self after a major drug dealer and the other nickname is the Snow Man. I dont think being an example for the youth was ever their priority.
Sad but it’s true!!
I am a chubby chaser and love me some chubby men but Rick Ross needs to put that Bear in a cage. He looks like a chocolate globe with all those tattoos on his stomach, lol.
LMFAO…I NO RIGHT….IT WOULD SOMETHING ELSE IF HE HAD SOME D CUPS…..
Hey yo….why is legal for a HOT MESS like ross to show his man boobs in public….but a fine azz b**** will get her azz lock the f*** up? Where’s all my Pro Choice people at?
Personally, I like the music of both artists, but GOT DAMN!!! They’re both rich and they both accomplished getting out of "the hood", why bother with the bullshit? And not to mention, it’s probably some lame ass gang undertones with it as well. This shit ain’t beef, it’s pink slime. Also, I don’t think it’s wise to have a homeboy named Gunplay. Beside the fact that the name is just plain stupid, that nigga was seen on video snortin’ cocaine. COCAINE nigga!!!! He looks like Chris Brown 10 years from now if the nigga just said "Fuck Life" and decided not to wash and cut his hair. I can’t. I won’t.
Damn shame and a disgrace.
You have grown a@@ men fighting acting a damn fool and people on blogs arguing about who side to be on smh WTF am i missing something here?? This is what they have to come expect from us as a people and i’d be damned we never disappoint. *_*
The 1st time I was introduced to Rick Ross, I was talking on the phone with my friend, and we were both watching some BET show. I looked at the screen and said, "WHO THE F*CK IS THAT?!?" She laughed and explained who he was. I was disgusted. I’m still waiting for a letter of apology from BET for seeing this man with his big ass jungle titties all over the screen, not to mention that 22 mos. pregnancy belly. Eye rape.
I agree that he’s a fraud. Not because he was once a CO, because there’s nothing wrong with employment. My problem is that his Maybach music is based on a fancy car, and his name is based on an already established gangster; no originality.
I know Jeezy from being on other people’s songs, but if you offered me $1mil to name one of his songs, I’d go home broke. I DO know both of these fools got too much money for such mayhem and foolishness.
What’s their issue with each other?
Lmaooooooo
He would be your big poppa. An ignoramous for an ignoramous.
Who’s big poppa, dear?
40 DD
Omgee I went blind and could not read the story. This is why we simply
Cannot have anything. Dumb dummies.
Um you WERE tweeting like u were backstage though.
How so?? I just tweeted what I knew to be true. No where did I say I was in the middle of the melee…
Right you didn’t say u were in the middle but from reading your tweet u made it SEEM like u were. Then tweet "I heard" not clean it up later in the article that you had no first hand knowledge
