Vic Mensa Says He Once Had to Pay the Italian Mob $10K After Club Fight

Over the weekend, Chicago rapper Vic Mensa posted a video on his social media accounts about the time he got into it with some Italian mobsters in a club and how he had to pay them to leave him alone.

Vic starts things off by painting a picture. He was on his tour bus already drunk, in an undisclosed city, when he decided to check out a club that a friend was DJ’ing at, and mentioned that he was supposed to make an appearance in that same club the very next day.

Once he gets to VIP, he was handed a blunt, a fifth of Dusse, and a bottle of Ace of Spades before he noticed a friend on the dance floor asking him for some backup. “So, I start going down there,” he recalled. “He like, ‘G, they just choked me and dragged me out the club! And they not even security!’ I’m like, ‘Who? Who did this to you?’”

After his friend pointed the culprit out, Mensa claims that he hit he hit him with the bottle of Ace of Spades. “I’m a nut so I already had bottle of Ace of Spades in my hand,” he said. “Boom! I crashed his ass. Immediately, this shit turned into a melee. I told you, I only got one friend in the building. Now this shit is not going well. I’m getting punched up and down like cartoon fists in a cloud.”

Adding that once he got away and made it to his hotel, a friend called him to inform him that the people he fought were made men. “My mans called me, who I didn’t even know was in that city at that time,” Vic began. “He was like, ‘Man, that was the Italian mob. They finna kill you!’

Vic then had to give one of his “big homies” in Chicago a call to help him out and said he had to pay $10,000 to make things right and made his scheduled club appearance with extra security. “Long story short, I get the bread, I pay the mob,” he continued. “Oh yeah, but that’s another one of the reasons why I don’t drink.”

Vic talked about his journey on the road to sobriety on Instagram in 2023, saying that he had to “learn the difference between fun and joy.”
