N.O.R.E. Confronts Food Reviewer Sober Facts in NYC Over His N-Word Use
After months of back-and-forth online, the Drink Champs host ran into the Queens creator mid-review and told him on camera to drop the word.
The online beef between N.O.R.E. and food reviewer Sober Facts finally came face to face.
In a clip that took off on X Saturday, the Queens rapper and Drink Champs co-host is seen walking up on Sober Facts in New York while the creator was filming one of his street food reviews. The two have reportedly been going back and forth on social media for months, and the root of it, according to N.O.R.E. himself in the video, is one word.
"All I said was stop saying" the N-word, N.O.R.E. tells him in the footage, adding that nobody should be using it, naming Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Ecuadorians and Nicaraguans before saying not even Black people should say it. He also made a point of telling the camera he "could have did him filthy" but chose to "keep it positive," before closing with a warning for Sober Facts to stop before somebody stops him.
No punches were thrown, and the clip ends without anything physical happening.
Sober Facts, a Latino creator from Queens whose food reviews have been picking up steam, appeared to tell a different story afterward. In a follow-up clip shared by fan pages, he reportedly called N.O.R.E. out for approaching him with a group while he worked, and argued that people in New York are not going to stop using the word. Rich Motion could not independently confirm the full context of that response, and neither side has issued a formal statement beyond the videos.
The run-in has split the timeline, with some praising N.O.R.E. for standing on his message and others questioning why he showed up with a crew to make it.
