Rip Micheals says he personally saw Tory Lanez's assault of August Alsina, and has fired Lanez from the Fall Back In Love Comedy & Music Jam tour he presides over.
The comedy and music impresario, speaking Monday with TMZ, confirmed that he witnessed the incident in which Lanez hit Alsina in the face with a sucker punch, saying that the dispute was over Lanez's anger Alsina would not acknowledge him.
Micheals told the outlet that Alsina did not pretend all was good with Lanez, who has publicly criticized him in the past.

When Lanez brought his entourage to confront Alsina on the perceived slight, Alsina attempted to explain himself, at which point Lanez threw a sucker punch, Micheals said.
Micheals said that Lanez - who has issued a vague denial of any wrongdoing - initially apologized for the ambush. Micheals said that he let Lanez go from the ongoing tour to preserve backstage morale in the wake of the attack on Alsina, who is also on the tour.
Alsina missed a concert because he had to get stitched up at an urgent care facility, Micheals said.
Alsina took to Instagram Sunday accusing Lanez of striking him Saturday in Chicago in an ambush in which Lanez was flanked by 'eight oversized security' guards.
