Roddy Ricch had an interesting reaction when a fan tried to touch him while taking a photo. Moreover, a video of the incident shows a fan looking to the front-facing camera to get a picture with him. It seems like the 24-year-old recently took some pictures with other fans. "Am I allowed to get one too?" the fan asked. "Just one? Can I get one with you?" When he tried to put his arm around him, Roddy pushed him off with a light, one-armed shove, and presumably his security guard did the same.

Even though the fan looked slightly taken aback, he didn't make a fuss or try to get any closer. Furthermore, this isn't the first time that Ricch had an almost confrontational public run-in recently. In fact, he made headlines around New Year's Eve in 2022 for popping off at a paparazzi. While the Compton rapper loaded a backseat in his car trunk, the photographer approached him with questions. Then, Roddy's security guard told him to back up, but he continued to film him from across the street. After flashing the finger his way, the "Cooped Up" MC decided to walk up to the paparazzi.

“Turn that off, ’cause I wanna talk to you like a man,” he told the photographer. “You was the first dude that walked up on me. You walked up on me, bro. Don’t walk up on me. This is real life, don’t walk up on me. I’m handling my personal business, you walking up on me. This ain’t that bro, I’m living real life. Leave me the f**k alone," he concluded before leaving. After that experience, it's understandable that the Feed Tha Streets III artist told us to excuse him for being antisocial. After all, it can be a lot to have lenses breathing down your neck in your everyday life.

Meanwhile, Roddy also got hit with a copyright lawsuit last year over his hit song "The Box." Moreover, Greg Perry believes it sounds similar to his 1975 track “Come On Down (Get Your Head Out Of The Clouds)." Even though the rapper recently took a bit of a media break, it's unfortunate that some fans maybe don't get the message. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Roddy Ricch.
