Adin Ross has threatened a lawsuit over claims he’s been banned from LA due to repercussions from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.
Ross was reacting to a video from Kendrick Lamar affiliates on Thursday (September 26) when he practically dared his new opps to make good on their threats.
Ross can be seen listening to a clip that begins: “Adin Ross stood on business. He said he gonna have his security beat on us. He’s gonna come to LA, n-gga … Adin Ross, lemme give you a tip. Security get popped everyday, b.”
Ross then responds to the video. He said: “So come do it. Go to jail for the rest of your life. It’s so worth it, bro. Your shitty life. Come on, let’s try it. Let’s make some magic happen. Come on, try it. At least you’ll go to jail for what, a minimum five years in LA, what is it? I got the best lawyers of all time, baby. Let’s do it. And I’m gonna low key sue you for that. I can’t wait.”
He escalated the situation when he added, speaking to his own affiliate: “Lemme get that clip again. Put that in my phone right now send that right to my lawyer. I promise you I’m serving you ASAP. Don’t ever threaten my life again, you big bitch. Go start a family. This podcast shit is not for you. I’m not a gangster. I’m not about that life at all. That’s why I said security is gonna do what they’re gonna do. But now? I’m going straight to my lawyers.”

The drama began when Top5 issued a menacing threat to K. Dot and his crew, escalating tension between Kendrick Lamar and Drake‘s camps.
The recently freed Toronto rapper, who just earlier this week beat a murder case after evidence was dismissed by a judge, appeared on a stream with Adin Ross and Akademiks following his release.
During the broadcast, Top5 threatened both Kendrick and fellow Drake rival Metro Boomin by saying: “I’m looking for Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar. I’m doing my homework right now, I’m doing my task on them. Nothing incriminating, I’m just looking for them.
“I want Metro Boomin one on one. I don’t want no weapons, nothing. I’d knock him the fuck out. Kendrick Lamar, you passed the border. Chubbs called me.”
He added: “I will quit rapping if Kendrick Lamar goes to [the Toronto restaurant] New Ho King without 20 police officers […] You’re crazy for testing my gangsta. You see what happened to DJ Drama?”
Top5 soon got a response from Kendrick’s longtime friend and fellow rappper Hitta J3, who appears on the cover of To Pimp a Butterfly.
“Come find out then,” he hit back on X (formerly Twitter), before posting a video of the Canadian rapper getting punked in his hometown of Toronto.
Another Kendrick and TDE affiliate Smac also responded to Top5, saying on the FMW podcast: “Fuck you and Toronto, Top5. You ain’t gotta come find us, we’ll find you, bitch. I’m on that muthafucka. Come to L.A., we’re gonna shut you down, bitch.
“We’re gonna smack the fuck out this pussy bitch. We stand on business. N-gga gonna slap him. Fuck him, fuck Toronto. Fuck Top5. Fuck his sister, fuck his daughter. He threatening us, it’s all off the table now. You threaten us, fuck your whole family.”
Adin Ross then waded into the feud and responded: “I’m not banned from L.A., bro. I wish somebody would, I swear to God. I’m gonna go to L.A., nobody’s gonna do shit to me, I promise you, bro. You think I’m scared of L.A.? What? I’ve lived in L.A. for years and years.
“Fuck that old ass muthafucka on that podcast. I’ll smack the shit out of you — well, not me but I’ma have security smack the fuck outta you and beat your ass.”
