Troy Ave testified Monday in the Taxstone murder trial, alleging the two struggled over the gun that was used in the fatal shooting of the rapper’s bodyguard Ronald “Banga” McPhatter in 2016 at Irving Plaza, where T.I. was billed to perform. 

“If it’s fight or flight I’m always going to fight because at that point you could die,” Troy Ave said of the scuffle that resulted in him getting shot in both legs, according to the New York Post. The Brooklyn native compared their tussle to a high school wrestling match.
