What happened to love thy neighbor and all that?

Rick Ross and Tyreek Hill are not exactly besties right now after a raging house fire at the Miami Dolphins player’s house Jan. 3 at Landmark Ranch Estates near Davie.

As fire trucks raced to the scene of the emergency, Ross, who lives across the way from Hill, hopped on social media to give his followers all the tea.

Hill, whose $7 million, seven-bedroom mansion was partially destroyed in the inferno, later complained on “The Pivot” podcast that the Boss should have instead been blowing up his phone while he was at practice in Miami Gardens.

“First off, I just wanna say...I can’t vibe with you now, bro,” Hill griped. “I can’t f--- with you no more, bro. You had the audacity to talk to a fireman instead of come protect ...You’re supposed to be the neighbor, the neighborhood hero!”

Ross’s response?

“I wasn’t picking on you, homie,” the “Everyday I’m Hustlin’” singer said in an Instagram video, captured by TMZ and other outlets. “I didn’t premiere the fire to the world. It was five helicopters circling over your crib, and my crib. I didn’t post your girl outside, or your mom, none of that. S--t was everywhere.”

Though Ross originally opined that the fire was electrical, due to all the heavy smoke, he was mistaken. According to an incident report, two kids playing with a lighter accidentally set ablaze a cloth toy.

Two children, Hill’s wife and mother were inside the home; no one was injured.
