New footage shows Trae Tha Truth and four others kicking and punching his former collaborator Z-Ro.
On Friday, TMZ Hip Hop shared a new video of the scuffle, from a different angle, that took place at 50 Cent’s Tycoon weekend in Houston.
Initally, Trae denied that his former ABN partner was outnumbered and jumped. In an Instagram video, the Houston rapper said, “It wasn’t no 7-on-1 situation.”
“It wasn’t no blindside ambush. That’s not what this is. This is family business, internal stuff that’s been going on for 10, 15 years that’s probably been building up and just spilled over into sh*t. It ain’t no hate for that man. I’m never going to let nobody hurt or harm him.”
The latest video shows Trae and his posse all throwing blows and kicking Z-Ro as he curls up to protect himself from the hits. At one point, a member of Trae’s crew appears to snatch Z-Ro’s gold chain.
Shortly after the incident, Z-Ro spoke with TMZ and confirmed that he was indeed ambushed and jumped.
“[I was] minding my business and when I walked outside. I’m called over to the side of sprinter van, and [Trae] was like, ‘Ay, when you get finished doin’ that. Come take this walk with me right quick,” he said. “I was like, ‘You talkin’ to me?’ I had to make sure he was talking to me ’cause I mean, I see you everywhere, you see me everywhere. So when I walked over there, the only thing I saw after that was this [gestures to being punched in the face].”
