The American perspective on the world is so weird sometimes. There's nowhere on this earth where there isn't an underworld. Where there isn't groups running guns, drugs, women, fraud, gambling etc. All those groups are dangerous in the same way the guys who run those things where you live are.
Another basic thing is, a man is a man. Everyone in Canada has been reading the same comments as you. Saying Canada is pu**y/soft/punks/ whatever. It could only be someone who isn't really street and playing a character like Ross who wouldn't be on high alert when coming to enemy territory. I dont think Drake sent anyone after him, but anyone who could get near him whose a bit of a tough guy might have, and in this case did, punk him cause of course he's outnumbered and the whole internet has been telling the collective Canada that we're nothing to worry about. Someone was going to say "bet".
Punches and kicks all hurt the same no matter how much cooler you think you are than the person whose beating you.
