Previously, it was reported that the alleged attack on August Alsina by Tory Lanez was being investigated by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office. The alleged attack stemmed from Alsina refusing to shake Lanez’s hand while walking past him backstage at a show. Now, the creator of the ‘Fall Back in Love Comedy & Music Jam’ tour—Rip Michaels, has noted Tory Lanez was kicked off the rest of the tour following the alleged incident. 

Michaels spoke to TMZ and said he saw Lanez punch the singer in the face while they were at a tour stop in Chicago. Michaels then confirmed Alsina’s initial claim of Lanez being upset because he didn’t dap him up. The comedian said August Alsina didn’t want to be friendly with Lanez because the rapper spoke about Alsina’s life via social media. 

Rip explained that Alsina tried to hash out the issue with Tory by talking, but Lanez ended up sucker punching the singer after he turned around. Michaels said his tour is about peace and good energy, and because of that, Lanez will no longer be participating. Watch above.

August Alsina recently took to social media to post a photo of him with a bloody mouth before claiming that Tory Lanez attacked him. 

The singer says he was allegedly approached by Lanez and a group of security guards, who circled him after leaving a show. Alsina then said Lanez asked why he didn’t dap him up, with Alsina saying the reason was due to comments Lanez made about his situation with Jada Pinkett Smith. From there, Lanez allegedly sucker punched the singer as he tried to walk away from him. Alsina says Lanez hyped himself up to hit him all off a hit of a cocaine-laced blunt. 

Lanez took to Instagram to respond to allegations, saying, “I don’t know what everybody talking about… but I’ve been in the studio.” Take a look above.
