A video has surfaced online showing Trae Tha Truth kicking and punching Z-Ro most likely outside 50 Cent’s celebrity basketball game.
Here is everything you need to know.
Trae Tha Truth jumped at Z-Ro during 50 Cent’s Tycoon weekend
TMZ Hip Hop obtained the new clip on 2nd September Thursday. In the video, we can see Trae Tha Truth attacking Z-Ro along with his four crew members.
As the footage proceeds, we see one of Trae’s friends snatching the gold chain on Z-Ro’s neck.
Moreover, the clip contradicts Trae Tha Truth’s version of events when he denied that Z-Ro was outnumbered during the fight.
The 42-year-old rapper took to Instagram on 30th August Tuesday to explain the incident.
He claimed, ‘It wasn’t no 7-on-1 situation.’
The Texas native further added, ‘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.’
Moreover, he continued, ‘It ain’t no hate for that man. I’m never going to let nobody hurt or harm him.’
However, the new fight footage disputes every claim made by Trae Tha Truth.

Z-Ro offers his side of the story
Z-Ro sat down with TMZ shortly after the news broke that Trae Tha Truth and his friends attacked him outside 50 Cent’s home in Houston over the weekend.
He shared, ‘[I was] minding my business and when I walked outside. I’m called over to the side of the sprinter van and [Trae] was like, “Ay, when you get finished doing that. Come take this walk with me right quick.”‘
The 45-year-old added, ‘I was like, “You talking to me?” I had to make sure he was talking to me because 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].’
Z-Ro whose real name is Joseph Wayne McVey IV is Trae Tha Truth’s cousin and a former ABN (Assholes By Nature) partner. The reason behind their fallout remains uncertain as of now.
Nevertheless, the Missouri native shared, ‘I thought it was going to be a change. I thought it was a conversation that needed to be had. I guess for the last decade… It would have been something that I would have appreciated, the conversation.’
