“I’ve heard this before. I don’t really think I’m funny. I don’t even seeing why people think I’m funny,” he said, explaining that people have mentioned to him before that he should try his hand at a comedy.
Host J-Que then brought up Z-Ro potentially playing a cop in a drama for a lucrative $5million payday, but don’t expect that to happen. “Nah, nah, not for no cop,” the former Rap-A-Lot rapper said.

Z-Ro has a checkered past with law enforcement which includes being arrested in July 2017 after he was accused of beating his ex-girlfriend three months prior. A grand jury dropped the felony charges later that same year.

Once Trae started making his way out and stopped to sign some autographs, the heckler started yelling at him and immediately got a reaction. “Fuck you, Trae Tha Truth! Z-Ro for life, baby!” he said. “You jumped Z-Ro, baby! Come on! Let’s get it!”
Footage of the 2022 incident showed several men kicking and punching Z-Ro, who was curled up in a ball on the ground.
Trae Tha Truth could be seen restraining the men attacking Z-Ro, before he and his entourage appeared to make verbal threats until police ultimately intervened.
Z-Ro spoke with TMZ about the incident and claimed Trae and his entourage ambushed him.

“[I was] minding my business and when I walked outside, I’m called over to the side of sprinter van and [Trae] was like, ‘Ay, when you get finished doin’ that, come take this walk with me right quick,” he said.
“I was like, ‘You talkin’ to me?’ I had to make sure he was talking to me ’cause I mean, I see you everywhere, you see me everywhere. So when I walked over there, the only thing I saw after that was this [gestures to being punched in the face].”
