Rick Ross recently found himself in a heated social media exchange involving his baby mama, Tia Kemp, and rap superstar Drake. The drama unfolded on Monday, July 1, when Rick Ross took to Instagram to respond to a flirtatious comment Drake made about Tia Kemp. The situation quickly escalated, leading to some harsh words from the Miami rapper.
The Instagram Incident
The feud began when Drake commented on one of Tia Kemp’s Instagram posts, calling her his “goat” and adding a cupid arrow emoji along with star eyes emoji. This seemingly innocuous compliment did not sit well with Rick Ross. When Akademiks reshared the post on his Instagram, Rick Ross couldn’t hold back his displeasure and commented, “Pedo vs. granny,” clearly taking a jab at both Drake and Kemp.
This Instagram spat is just the latest chapter in the ongoing tensions between Rick Ross and Tia Kemp. The two have had a contentious relationship, particularly concerning child support issues. In June, Rick Ross celebrated the end of his child support payments, a milestone that did not go unnoticed by Kemp. She responded with a scathing video:
“I heard you was over there talking about the best Father’s Day gift you coulda got was sending your last child support payment,” Kemp said. “You stupid, silly muthafka. I don’t give a fk about your child support payments, b**h. And if I want some more, I’ll take my as over to family court and get some while he is going to college.”
Kemp’s frustration didn’t stop there. In a separate video shared on her Instagram page, she burned a photo of Rick Ross in a metal container in her living room, symbolizing her anger and disdain.
Adding fuel to the fire, Rick Ross and his crew faced a hostile situation at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver, Canada, over the weekend. As they navigated through the crowd, Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” played in the background. This incident seemed to have caught Drake’s attention, as he liked a post about it on keep6ixsolid’s Instagram page.
Drake’s Role
Drake’s involvement in the feud appears to be more indirect, stemming from his compliment to Tia Kemp. However, his simple act of liking a post related to the Vancouver altercation suggests he is not entirely disengaged from the drama. Whether intentional or not, Drake’s actions have intensified the rivalry between Rick Ross and Kemp.
Social Media Reactions
The public has been quick to react to this unfolding drama. Fans and followers have flooded social media with their opinions, taking sides and adding their commentary to the mix. Some view Rick Ross’s response as overly harsh, while others see it as a justifiable reaction to what they perceive as Drake’s meddling.
One Instagram user commented, “Rick Ross needs to chill, but Drake should have known better than to stir the pot.” Another user added, “This is just messy. Drake probably didn’t mean any harm, but Rozay isn’t one to let things slide.”
The feud between Rick Ross, Tia Kemp, and Drake showcases the often tumultuous nature of relationships and rivalries in the entertainment industry. While the initial incident seemed minor, it quickly escalated into a public spectacle, drawing in fans and onlookers from all corners of social media. As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen whether the parties involved will find a way to de-escalate the situation or if this feud will continue to play out in the public eye.
