Correction:The original version of this story contained an error. We originally wrote that "this is the first time RZA admitted to the spitting." This was an error on our part. In an interview with TMZ last year, on October 20th, 2016, RZA said "Russell does spit at her...the spit didn't hit her. If anything the spit would have gotten on me because I was in between them."

The original story has been amended.
