In two separate conversations withXXL, both Rob and Ski Mask laid out their sides of what happened in Los Angeles. Stone likened Ski Mask'south set up in L.A. to being the "third strike" of boldness. Strike one was said to have been an incident where Ski Mask ran out during Rob's set in Seattle to interact with fans mid-song. Stone says, "The nigga was ruining my spot. So that was the first strike and I told the nigga, 'Don't do that. If you're gonna run on my set, come on 'Chill Beak' at the end.' And so he was like, 'Aight, cool' and it was straight." Stone said strike ii was at the San Diego show. According to him, Ski Mask's lateness forced set times to exist pushed dorsum, with Ski Mask being told he's go on at 9 p.m. Effectually 9:25, Stone says Ski Mask finally showed upwardly, and took to the stage as Rob Rock was about to go on. When Stone'due south DJ wouldn't hand Ski Mask the mic, he got aggy and stood his ground.

Stone said that after the back-and-forth with XXXTentacion and Ski Mask on Twitter, as well every bit seeing 30 on Instagram Live "talking most Ski Mask gonna slap the shit outta me," Stone decided he'd approach Ski Mask at the L.A. show, but Ski Mask showed upwardly and hopped right on stage. "I wasn't fifty-fifty trying to run onstage and practise bro like that. I was supposed to get at bro backside the scenes, but he wanna run onstage and not holla at me similar a real nigga, so I run onstage and take the mic from blood and then we beat his ass from the stage to the street. And that's how it goes. And I left his ass out in the street with his donkey out and his underwear. And that'due south exactly what happened, from showtime to finish."

Ski Mask saw things differently, proverb that AEG (who was putting on the Outlet Tour) was trying to get Rob Stone off of the bout. "Statistically, I shouldn't even perform before him. Looking at numbers, I shouldn't take to perform before him considering it doesn't make sense. My numbers are way higher than his in general. Then operation wise, this nigga is ass. He doesn't exercise skilful in general in performance. So they were trying to throw him off [the tour] and he was angry equally fuck." Ski Mask also stated that the San Diego date was supposed to be his last date on the tour, but he says he might non have been getting paid.

Now, fifty-fifty though he says he wasn't going to perform if he wasn't going to go paid, he did point that he would exist telling his fans "'on the mic that I'm non performing.' Considering they're gonna retrieve I didn't fifty-fifty pull up and they're gonna exist mad." According to Ski Mask, that's when the footage starts, where he's on the stage not existence given a mic, just not wanting to go off the stage.

In the example of the Los Angeles tour date, Ski Mask said he only went there considering he "didn't want to seem pussy," indicating that he "didn't think, even if he was gonna jump me, he was gonna do information technology like that, by jumping me on the stage and not even give me the heads up that he's about to bound me or wait until I'thousand washed performing." Equally yous can see in the above video, that wasn't the case. Ski Mask also alleges that effectually viii people attacked him, and at some point, knives were drawn and his friend was stabbed.

They both indicated toXXL that they were no longer a part of Desiigner'due south Outlet Tour.

Sadly, this doesn't seem like information technology'southward going to be over any time soon. Maybe Rolling Loud had the correct idea; the heat betwixt these factions is too cracking to have them nigh each other. If someone doesn't step up to mediate the situation, this could go from bad to worse very chop-chop.
