Rick Ross is doing well after the rapper was allegedly attacked at a music festival in Canada over the weekend.
The assault reportedly took place after Ross, born William Leonard Roberts II, performed at the Ignite Music Festival in Vancouver on Sunday.
Footage of the attack shared on social media shows a man who appears to be Ross in a verbal dispute with a male festival attendee. The man later throws a punch in Ross' direction, prompting a brawl between the attendees gathered around the two men.
One video shows a man lying on the ground unresponsive following the assault, suggesting he was knocked out during the fight.

USA TODAY reached out to representatives for the Ignite Music Festival and the Vancouver Police Department for comment.
On Monday, Ross shared a photo of himself on his Instagram Story, in which he can be seen posing in front of a jet plane. The “Champagne Moments” emcee did not mention the attack in the post. “Vancouver it was fun, till next time,” he wrote.
Rick Ross calls Vancouver ‘a beautiful city’ after alleged music festival assault
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.
The conflict at the festival reportedly began after Ross closed his set by playing “Not Like Us,” a diss track by Kendrick Lamar aimed at Canadian rapper Drake, per TMZ. The song can be heard playing in the background in footage of the attack.

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.
