And then that was the offset strike and I told the nigga, 'Don't exercise that. If you're gonna run on my set, come on 'Chill Nib' at the end.' So he was like, 'Aight, cool' and it was directly." Rock said strike two was at the San Diego prove. According to him, Ski Mask's lateness forced set up times to exist pushed back, with Ski Mask being told he's continue at nine p.chiliad.

And that's how it goes. And I left his ass out in the street with his ass out and his underwear. And that's exactly what happened, from beginning to end."

Ski Mask saw things differently, saying that AEG (who was putting on the Outlet Bout) was trying to become Rob Rock off of the bout. "Statistically, I shouldn't fifty-fifty perform before him. Looking at numbers, I shouldn't accept to perform before him considering it doesn't brand sense. My numbers are manner higher than his in full general. And so performance wise, this nigga is ass. He doesn't exercise practiced in general in functioning. So they were trying to throw him off [the tour] and he was aroused as fuck." Ski Mask also stated that the San Diego engagement was supposed to exist his last engagement on the bout, but he says he might not have been getting paid.

Now, fifty-fifty though he says he wasn't going to perform if he wasn't going to become paid, he did indicate that he would exist telling his fans "'on the mic that I'grand not performing.' Because they're gonna think I didn't even pull upward and they're gonna be mad."

Sadly, this doesn't seem like it's going to be over any time soon. Maybe Rolling Loud had the correct idea; the oestrus between these factions is besides neat to have them most each other. If someone doesn't footstep up to mediate the situation, this could go from bad to worse very speedily.
