Z-Ro and Trae used to be friends and collaborators.
Z explained what went down in a statement to XXL.
"I was at 50 charity dinner on Saturday [Aug. 27] and some supporters asked for a pic... then I saw Trae approaching. He asked if he could Holla at me... I turned around to see who he was talking to and he asked if I could follow him to the side of a sprinter bus. I'm thinking we [about] to talk like 2 grown men, but I was sucker punched. When that happened... several other dudes (who I don't have affiliation with) jumped in," Z said.

In an interview with TMZ, Z said he's not even that mad about the beating.
"I thought it was going to be words exchanged," Z said about the incident. "I thought it was going to be the conversation we needed to have for the last decade ... People just grow apart. It was about 2012 it just stopped. I never said anything to him. It wasn't no beef. It's just people grow apart. It wasn't no argument ... There's a lot people upset about this. But strangely I'm not upset. I think people on the streets are taking this harder than I am," Z said. "
