DETROIT, MI -- Detroit-based rapper Trick Trick led a human blockade of over 100 people that stopped Rick Ross from performing Saturday night at a local concert venue because of a "No Fly Zone" he claims is in effect.
Arthur Alston, Trick Trick's manager, confirmed his client's involvement in the Chene Park incident in an e-mail sent to MLive.com and shared the following statement from the Goon Squad member:
"To all those who want to know what the 'No Fly Zone' is please go to 1:17 on this video and quote me there."
The video Trick Trick - whose real name is Christian Mathis - is referring to can be viewed in the YouTube player at the end of this post: it is for his new song "No Fly Zone" with another rapper named Royce da 5'9."
Trick Trick's lyrics for "No Fly Zone" that start at the 1:17 mark:
I’m just a phone call away
Come here without permission I won’t hear (expletive) you gotta stay (expletive)
I created these laws so I enforce 'em
All we're coming for is our portion
They don’t wanna do what we tell 'em so we force 'em
With the face full of Timbs and Air Forces
Get dead worse than a (expletive) in a foursome
I treat you like the Catholic church treating abortions
We call it respect, you call it extortion
The big dogs out, put the little ones on the porches
This ain’t my city, (expletive) this my fortress
And the kingpins corners in the 'Vettes and 4-door Porsches
We don't bust guns, we blow torches
Fire from the tip of these (expletives) for you informants
Cause it's important willing to risk seeing the warden
Or leaving your kids to be orphans
Trick Trick had had no additional comments, but appeared to joke on Twitter (handle: @TrickTrickGS) that he needs a publicist because "you (expletives) are crazy."
Alston confirmed details from a Chene Park park release that mentioned Ross' performance Saturday at the 107.5 FM Hot Jamz 17 was cancelled because a "human blockade" of up to 150 people threatened his life outside the venue and wouldn't let him in.
Chene Park claims in the press release the blockade prevented the Miami-based Ross from stepping foot on the venue's grounds and was formed by "a band of individuals led by a local rapper."
The venue, however, doesn't mention Trick Trick by name.'
"It was Trick Trick," Alston wrote in an e-mail. "They (Chene Park) may not want to say his name or don't know."
Ross has appeared to take all this alleged death threat drama in stride on his Twitter page, and insists he still has plenty of respect for the Motor City.
"Luv #Detroit," Ross wrote. "I wuz ready to killm 2nite."
Ross jokes that he thought the human blockade of up to 150 people "wuz a peace protest wit picket signs and locked gates."
Despite the humor, Ross doesn't mention on Twitter if he'll return to the city anytime soon.
Despite claims of threats, Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens told MLive.com the department didn't receive any 911 calls Saturday night in the Chene Park area pertaining to any incidents related to the concert.
"We were not notified," Stephens said. "There were no calls pertaining to that."
The only officers at the venue were those who were normally assigned to provide security before, during and after the show, Stephens said.
