Nipsey Hussle's former bodyguard reportedly went after Blueface's manager, Wack 100, on Sunday (December 15) over his previous disrespectful comments about the late rapper.
According to TMZ, J Roc, who in addition to being Nipsey's bodyguard was also his close friend, attacked Wack backstage at the Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles while The Game— another client of Wack — was performing.
Sources told the outlet J Roc punched Wack "several times in the face, then took off." Witnesses shared video of the aftermath on social media, showing an angry Wack having to be restrained by security.
In the hours since the alleged attack, Wack has since taken to Instagram to share his side of the story and show closeups of his face, which did not have any visible injuries. "Wack still on top. I don't know who talking bout somebody whoop Wack a**. Listen, try again," he said in the clip. "Next time you send a motherf***er, don't send one who knows how to run, send one who knows how to fight."
As fans know, there's been bad blood between Nipsey's camp and Wack's since Wack and Blueface made a joint appearance on a podcast and spoke about Nipsey's death.
During the interview, Wack not only appeared to rationalize with Nipsey's alleged killer, but he also said Nipsey wasn't a "legend," and he called the support of the Cali rapper following his death "fake love."
"All these radio stations, all these people is all fake," he said. "I can speak on it because I was part of the Nipsey Hussle movement getting him his first multi-million dollar deal... 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 god*amn 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?... I feel like Nipsey should have been a bigger artist personally. But where the hell was all you diehard fans when Nipsey needed you to support his product?"
Wack additionally explained why Blueface, who like Nipsey was a Crip, didn't immediately say "rest in peace" following Nipsey's death. "He don't know him. Never talked, never had a conversation," Wack shared. "And the fact of the matter is their two neighborhoods—for 25 years—have been on and off enemies. So him not saying nothing is really him showing respect."
In the weeks since the interview, Wack has doubled down on his "disrespectful" comments, repeatedly saying that he does not believe Nipsey was or is a legend.
