URL staff member Norbes (AKA the self-proclaimed "most hated man in battle rap") was attacked at an AHAT battle rap event in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday night (Aug. 15), apparently by battler D Gunna. Footage of the incident appeared online Sunday morning and was quick to spread.
D Gunna's name won't be familiar to many fans, though they may remember his 2013 Proving Grounds performance against Illanoiz where he choked and gave up.
The same day that footage dropped, Gunna called in to an episode of BattleRap Arena to confront Norbes and vent his frustration.
Norbes is known for getting into arguments online and over the radio, and as the gatekeeper of the Proving Grounds, often controls the fate of which up-and-comers get a shot on URL. He addressed the incident on Instagram, taking it lightly and promising a blog detailing everything.

He will also be on Sunday's episode of The War Report.

At the same time, memes started popping up in FB groups and on social media.
But trollmaster Daylyt was the first to release a full song (with visuals).
Which was quickly remixed on Instagram.
