Sources close The New York Daily News referenced that there have been ongoing rap rivalries between Troy Ave and Maino:
‘There is clear video, very graphic video. He walks right out, women all around, and starts shooting his gun…It’s an ongoing rap group rivalry, him and Maino.’
However, Maino has been quick to speak out about this, posting about the incident on Instagram.
‘What transpired was absolutely NOT the result of MYSELF or ANYBODY IN MY CAMP , ENTOURAGE, TRAVELING PARTY or ORGANIZATION IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. We entered the venue respectfully as always and exited in shocked like all other concertgoers. For the last 5 years Troy Ave, his team and I have had a great working relationship.’
The mother of McPhatter also spoke out about the shooting. Rose McPhatter told The New York Daily News her anger at the fact that Troy Ave had not called her.
‘If he cared about my son as much as he alleged he does, I would’ve received a call from him. He didn’t call me. He didn’t call any of my other sons.’
