Ross addressed the alleged altercation at Ignite Music Festival in a statement to TMZ published Monday.

The rapper said no one on his team “suffered any serious injuries” following the assault, according to the outlet. "Vancouver is a beautiful city, and (I) can't wait to go back," he added.

In an email to USA TODAY on Monday, a representative for Ross said the rapper and his team “are all well” after the fight.

Released in May, “Not Like Us” is one of several diss tracks from the rap feud between Lamar and Drake. In the track, Lamar seemingly skewers some of Drake's faux pas in the public eye, including the removal of his AI-assisted song "Taylor Made (Freestyle)" and allegations of grooming against the “Hotline Bling” emcee.

Lamar and Drake's feud goes back more than a decade to 2013, when Lamar rapped on the Big Sean song "Control" about how he wanted to "murder" Drake and other prominent rappers.

Ross and Drake have also traded musical barbs recently. Ross released the diss track “Champagne Moments” in April, which was followed by Drake’s “Push Ups” just days later.
