There was never a report that they fought, only that Nas gripped him up for the dirt getting on Kelis. A tussle is not a fight in the hood.
Nore confirmed that they fought
He said that he and Nas hadn’t spoken in about 2-3 years and the day before the incident Nas saw him at a party and came up to him and gave him a big hug and basically said “Lets squash it. Your my brother I love you”. And Nore agreed to squash the beef and that Nas agreed to do Body In The Trunk Part 2 with him. Next day at the party Nore got drunk off dark liquor and said all he could think about was Nas dissing him on Power 105 and he was getting angrier and angrier just looking at Nas. Thats when he hauled off and threw the flower pot and some of the dirt hit Kelis and Nas lumped him up for it.
After that they didn’t speak for almost ten years. Nore apologized publicly a few times and eventually they patched things up I believe in 2015-16.
The reason Nore was so mad was because he claims that while Nas was going off on everybody on Power 105, Nore and Foxy were arguing with the show execs at Summer Jam on Nas behalf so that he could put on the show he wanted. Nas has alluded to the reason he went off on Nore specifically was deeper than just music. On Drink Champs he said “You KNOW why I was mad at you, it was family business” and Nore quickly changed the subject. Whatever the real reason was Nore does NOT want to get into specifics. Its all under the bridge now though
