A video of Chicago rappers Rico Recklezz and Lil Mister trying to square up went viral on New Year's day.

In the clip, Rico and Mister struggle to connect with any of their punches. 

Despite their embarrassing results, Mister posted video of the fight on IG.

Now Rico has weighed in.  He tweeted that the fight was "on ice", which is why they were having so much trouble landing.

We don't think the fight inside of a corner store was literally "on ice," even though we know how cold it's been in Chicago.

But it does look like there is some potentially slippery water on the floor.  Does that excuse such a poor display of physical combat?
