Rick Ross Reportedly Armed With A Semi-Automatic Gun During January Shooting

    New information regarding the January drive-by shooting involving Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross is beginning to emerge and it looks like the rapper was armed during the shooting.

    A police report from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, which was obtained by The Smoking Gun states that Ross was armed with a black and chrome, Smith & Wesson semi-automatic gun.

    Located in Ross’ front waistband, the gun was fully loaded with one round in the gun’s chamber and 11 rounds in the magazine.

    Unfortunately for Ross, AllHipHop.com reports that his handgun license was expired at the time of the shooting and this could mean possible legal trouble for the rapper.

    The Miami artist quickly made headlines late January when the Rolls Royce he and a female passenger were traveling in was shot at multiple times in Fort Lauderdale. While attempting to flee the scene, Ross subsequently crashed his vehicle into an apartment building. No suspects were identified in the shooting.

    1. of course he had a gun! cops are issued firearms when they joint the force. not like he used it though. he crashed into a wall

    2. I don’t understand why people keep calling him a cop, but his job was a correctional officer. Two different things!. Who did he ever arrest?. Correctional officers help get drugs in the jail facility, a lot of them trying to make a fast dollar. Look it up and see for yourself

      1. they also make life hell for prisoners and steal from them. beat them. rape them. confiscate their drugs.

    3. lol. This is hilarious. I’m sure this is a story leaked by Ross’ PR team to make him look tough. Expired gun license, riding around with a loaded smith n wesson and the law just lets this offense sit for two months? Not buying this.

    4. Dont believe the hype! HIPHOPDX was paid to publish this story.

      So because Ross had a gun in his car he is gangster lol. My granny is 75 years and has a gun. So is she gangster?????

    5. Any nigga in America can buy a gun. He still didn’t use it though so he gets no street cred for this.

    6. people still is gonna hate on this dude for anything I see! a lot of people dislike him, but cant wait to comment on his posts. tip to you guys, you acting like some bitter females

    7. this is the biggest load of bull shit ive ever heard, no wait rozay is.. but seriously dx was probably paid to make this fraud article.

    8. chick in the car had the other gat she was drunk let of a few shots rick got scared and crashed the whip basically they was playing with guns there is no SHOOTER end of story

      1. I concur noway he was in a drive by and his car didn’t get hit the shooter was that close that he had to speed off? hell no

      1. hahaha yeah we already know. your strapped and dont let it off when you got ppl shootin at ya.. whos scared of yall..noone hahahahha anyone can get guns now adays

    9. Niggas be hatin on Rozay cuz he successful while they see they careers floppin faster than an Eddie Murphy movie. Niggas can keep hatin cuz Ross already releases 3 classics workin with legends and more relevant than 90 percent if rappers out there. Niggas gotta stay strap now cuz hood niggas envy cuz Ross got the south on lock.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    10. ROSS HAD THAT 30 on em he ain’t tryna fight these hoe niggas ross a real street nigga.. sold dope and co’d who else can do that??? Huh fuck boy??

    11. standard police issue firearm. nothing to see here folks. how else can you explain him not catching a charge when his license was expired?

    12. THIS IS FAKE TO.. COPS SAID THEY SEARCHED AND NOTHING ..NOW HE HAS A GUN?? SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID OFF…LOL.. SEE WHAT U ROSS FANS DID.. LOL

    13. Ross tried to reach for the biscuit and blast back but the chicken grease on his paws made the toast slip and land on the accelerator. Mystery solved.

      1. the girl in the passanger said fuck we gettin shot at shoot back..here the biscut..ross tried 2 bite it..it shot off and he went into a building

    14. if anything this makes ross look more like a bitch..he was strapped but didnt shoot at ppl threatenin him w guns HAHAHA. this just proves ross isnt about that shit. hes about as big a fraud as it gets in the hiphop community. exposed hard.. MMG just lost so hard this year and end of last its terrible..weak mills got bodied by cass. and ross got exposed in oh so many ways..damn bruh

    15. Reportedly? Why the fuck do you guys post stupid shit like this. You be believing these fake ass rappers and promoting their stupid ass lifestyle.

    16. “gunplay got his chain features in a 50 cent video”

      What kind of a grown man (50) tauts somebody with their own chain? Grow up and act your age.

      1. what kind of grown man pretends to be a cocaine pushing drug lord when he was never about that life?

      2. if you try to be gangsta on wax and video. and get dealt with (by 50) then go around crying about it..and have someone type mad defensive posts in a hhdx article which is meant for fans..then you already know your taking Ls and just cant do anything to stop it..so your tryna be grown about it now..but on wax or w.e next week youll be rappin about being gangsta again..L

    17. “how else can you explain him not catching a charge when his license was expired?”

      He’s a celebrity, dummy. All he had to do was probably offer to sign a few autographs, or take a few pics.

      1. why would the cops want his autograph? thats like asking your brother for his autograph. they probably eat donuts together all the time.

    18. “they probably eat donuts together all the time”

      So because he was a C/O for 1 year at 19 he’s supposed to hang with cops all the time? Maybe invite the SWAT team over for a pool party? Invite the captain over for a few drinks? Seriously, get a clue and fast.

    19. “what kind of grown man pretends to be a cocaine pushing drug lord when he was never about that life?”

      That’s called entertainment. What 50 is doing with Gunplay’s chain is silly kid antics.

      1. .
        But know body knows the announcer… Idiot.
        .
        And knowbody watches a basketball game to see the announcer… Retard.
        .

    20. “You gotta admit, that was pretty funny”

      When you have your goons beat down a drug addict then steal his chain it makes you look like a bully. Grown man Curtis Jackson, worth how many millions, should have better things to do like get an album out.

      1. gunplay was the one who went on video talkling tough about what he was gonna do to 50. 50 had no problems with gunplay beofe those threats. he aint do none of the shit he said. he got handled like a dope fiend.

      2. why i feel like this guy type about grow up, silly antics and bully is a rep for MMG if not of of them themselves all hurt bec MMG just takes L’s after L’s…welcome to hiphop where tough talking gets you dealt hahahha..

    21. “wale got sonned by a sports announcer”

      Millions of people know who Wale is, while maybe 100 people know this announcer.

      1. there is more people that watch toronto raptors games every week and hear this sports announcer than listen to wale or buy wale albums

      1. Prison guards can’t carry guns inside the prison. The inmates could get a hold of them and create chaos.

    22. Did they ever find out who the top rapper was that was actually an undercover cop…..sort of like in the movie In To Deep….I am not saying it’s Ross. I don’t know how true that info was but, the person is said to be still undercover.

    23. “there is more people that watch toronto raptors games every week and hear this sports announcer than listen to wale or buy wale albums”

      Ok, that’s in Toronto. Outside of there, nobody knows who the dude is. I bet you could poll the people who go to the games and they couldn’t tell you his first name. Yet Wale did a song with Lady Gaga which millions of people heard. Stop making yourself look stupid.

      1. millions of people heard that song and then never heard it again because it was trash. they didnt buy his album either.

      2. yeah wale is pathetic. he tried to go major and even got his label to hook him up with lady gaga for a track and he still flopped and was unheard of. no one even payed attention to him until he signed to rick ross and switched his whole style up.

    24. “gunplay was the one who went on video talkling tough about what he was gonna do to 50”

      He’s a dope fiend lol Dope fiends usually say dumb things because their brain is fried. Still doesn’t mean 50 has to get his thugs to do his dirty work for him.

      1. 50 was right there with them. he threw the first punch. he was gettin his kicks in too. gave him an old school junkie beatdown. he would have been in the ICU if the security didnt stop them

    25. “no that was also entertainment. you might even call it comedy”

      The lowest form of entertainment. Much like BET.

      1. Nah. The lowest form of entertainment is music from a former C.O. turned gangster rapper, a skateboarding gremlin, a Canadian R&B singer, a bipolar pop star whose last name is French for threesome, Sir Dual Necklaces, etc.

    26. “a sense of humor… get one”

      I don’t give pity LOL’s. Either have somebody else type your material or get gone.

      1. Quote-man’s all butthurt. This nigga reminds me of the “Leave Britney Alone” chick. Getting all defensive about a nigga who doesn’t even know he exists.

    27. Ross gonna beat this charge with his police connections just like how he got Gunplay’s case dismissed when we all saw that crackhead on camera robbing and assaulting someone with a gun.

      1. he was correctional officer! not a cop. different things. ,who did he ever arrest? niggas turn that into a lie. let it go.

      2. correctional officer is worse than a cop. he made niggas spread their ass cheeks and stuck his hand inside looking for the drugs he raps about selling

      3. how do drugs get in jails? he could have lied about that because he was doing some sandy shit in there! my neighbor used to be a correctional officer, he told me a lot of them selling weed and pills more than some of these guys who nickel and dime’n on the corner

      4. stop trying to justify that shit. he could have been on some shady shit but why did he lie about it and deny it?

        chances are he was just doing what the told him collecting a check. he wasnt moving drugs then and he’s not now.

      5. HAHAHAHAHA @ PLAYBOI PRYOR TRYNA SAY ROSS USED TO MULE DRUGS INTO JAILS LMAOOOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHA IF ROSS RAPS ABOUT THAT ID DIE

    28. this guy who keeps typing quotes..is mmg or mmg rep and feelin hurt bec the whole world knows theyre frauds HAHAHA..stop typin out 100 posts like you tryin to be a different person we know its the same person lame..mmg just mad they keep gettin stuffed in the lockers haha

      1. we call him quoteman. hes on old ass nicca who used to watch miami vice. makes references tom sizemore like anyone knows what the fucks hes talking about. listens to rick ross, birdman, pitbull and latino rappers. also admitted to watching the pauly d show.

      2. hahahaha. idk i feel like its MMG themselves just tight right now bec they keep takin Ls.. theyre defending mmg to much to be a stan

    29. ja rule already had a gun that’s why he’s in jail right now like a real nigga. He be cuttin’ niggaz with his shiv

    30. I had one of my buddies at the Police Department write that shit. No semi with me. I actually shit my pants and crashed my car.
      (They were just trying to scare me, no bullets hit my car)

    31. Those cowards missed there chance to hit William Robert. Now this man has bonded executive security and the ability to still make money touring overseas.

      1. Well, Bitch Bawse is so large that it’s impossible to not hit him. I’m not joking, it’s just the truth.

    32. The most reliable online j0b I ever found, and ever seen right-on-time weekly p@yments! This is awesome! I stumbled upon some random guys comment about this, tried it, and it literally changed my life! I am making $85p/h, just applying the steps from this s1te, Rich45.Com_

    33. HHAHAHAAA BAWWWSEEE!!!!…”I GOT A CHOPPER IN THE CAR”…SUCKA ASS NICCAS WANNA TEST THE BAWSE…HE ALREDY TOLD YALL FAGS HE IS THE “TEFLON DON”…

      CURTIS GOT CLAPPED AT 9TIMES, ALL I HEARD WAS GGGGGGGG—UUUUNIT…I DONT RESPECT THE ONE WHO GOT SHOT…I RESPECT THE SHOOTER…

    34. Rick Ross is da realest rapper eer, of all time bitchez. he haz street cred. Mafia Donz, blood niggaz and real gangstaz fuckz wit Ricky Rozay cuz da nigga wuz a real drug dealer and gangsta in da 90s… media liez bout correctional offer shit. hiz cousin wuz correctional officer not hhim!!! dey just fat boyz and lool alike… MMG iz untouchable bitchez. #GANGSTAMUZIK #STREETCRED #REALHIPHOP swag

    35. I bet nobody on here can shot and drive , save your life first dummies and get away. this anit no movie smh

      1. saving your life is crashing into a building right bumb fuck… this would be expected from a pig gone rapper.

    36. Dumbass niggas here how da fuck can you shoot back and drive at the same time. This shit ain’t no movie it’s real life. Rozay probably shooting back that’s the reason his ride went into the wall. Bitch ass pussy niggas behind they keyboards actin tough but would be bitchmade out in the streets. Rozay untouched makin boss moves while ur favorite rappers struggle to be relevant. Suck on that niggas.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. I love how delusional you are. Your favorite rapper is a phony. If he was a real G, he would’ve shot back. He just showed how pussy he was.

        “Rozay untouched makin boss moves”

        HAHAHAHAHAAA!!! He almost got touched. And what boss moves is he making?

      2. if he shot back it would have been in this article. cops said he had a full clip with one in the chamber. he didnt even reach for the gun. its just part of his hip-hop accessory kit.

      3. nigga couldnt even drive away without crashing he was so scared. shooting back is complete out of the question.

      4. Nigga, I shot back at Iraqis while i was driving. This nigga is just straight pussy, didn’t he fucking crash into a building lol.

    37. it’s amazing ross didn’t get a DUI that night seeing as he was driving home from his birthday party at a club. are you tellin me he wasnt drinking or getting high at his own party???

      so his police friends likely felt bad he was scared and let him off a DUI and a gun charge to make him feel better

    38. “i beat every grand theft auto game”

      After you’re done playing in fantasy land come back to reality.

    39. “also admitted to watching the pauly d show”

      I never said I watched it, half a man. You on the other hand openly admitted to watching Jersey Shore. Your credibility ended after that confession.

    40. “this guy who keeps typing quotes”

      It’s actually called copy and paste, but since you work at Kmart I’ll let that one go.

    41. “The lowest form of entertainment is music from a former C.O. turned gangster rapper”

      If it’s so low then why does he keep going gold?

      1. quess whos back..quote mans. guess whos back, quote mans baaaaack quote mans back quote mans back quote mans back back back back haha chica chica chicaaa

      2. they’ve had to lower the standards because ross still couldnt make it happen with all that buzz and promo

    42. “If it’s so low then why does he keep going gold?”

      Because today’s generation are dumb shits. These the same motherfuckers that watch shitty reality shows like Baskeball Wives, Love & Hip-Hop, anything Kardashian, etc.

      1. I imagine it’s because the majority of this sites users don’t understand the point of using a quote or citation to explain the context of their own remarks.

        If we could engage our brains, we wouldn’t be listening to mainstream hip-hop after all.

      2. That’s why he was named Quote-man, to separate him from the others. All you have to do is read the thought to tell who’s who.

      HAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH WOWWWWW THIS HAD ME ROLLIN!!!

    47. Again, just another prop for ross to try and look thug. Truth is, he would aim and pull the trigger with the safety still on

      1. you can’t pull a trigger with the safety on lol
        shows how many time you played with guns..
        go back to the flea market and buy some more 10 year old coogi

    48. “Because people today are stupid”

      But if people like Nas or Kendrick they must be in tune, right? Seriously… Calling anyone stupid for liking a certain rapper is borderline retarded. And the funny thing is all of you on here have probably heard every Rick Ross and Lil Wayne album, yet you pretend you haven’t.

      1. heard them once and then never again. once you’ve heard one ross or wayne album you heard them all

      2. Can’t say that for wayne cause he was actually good until the drought is over part 3. Rick Ross tho had decent songs here and there tho.

    49. “once you’ve heard one ross or wayne album you heard them all”

      Once you’ve heard one 50 Cent album you’ve heard them all.

      1. You name this dude on a mock awards list, and he’s showing his ass in a JLo dress sashaying around on the red carpet like a bitch because he thinks this vindicates his contradictory commentary.

    50. I just bought a great Nissan GT-R: from earning $6178 this last 4 weeks, and would you believe $10k last month. Its by far the easiest-job I’ve ever had. I actually started 10-months ago and practically straight away got at least $81 p/h! Be paid weekly and earn like a boss. This is what I do – Epic2.com__

    51. Donnis, you should win an award for being most like Gunplay. A little ho with absolutely zero clout in the real world.

    52. Buahaha. This fake ass nigga armed with a handgun during his fake ass publicity stunt and aint even buck off one shot. AND they gonna lock him up!!! hahaha enjoy the bing for real this time willy

    53. Homie yous a lying obese, fraudulent mother fucker. We in March faggot, why didn’t say you was strapped when was interviewed. Catch a dick and choke on it CO, lying mother fucker. You want street cred? Go back to pen.

      1. ..it’s in the police report i.e. documented the day of the incident.. you’ve obviously never been in to any legal troubles, tough guy lol

    54. IN THE FULL REPORT IT SAYS WHEN THE POLICE ARRIVED AFTER WILLIAM CALLED THEM FROM THE HOTEL HE RUN INTO HE TOLD THEM AND HANDED IT OVER TO THEM STRAIGHT AWAY

    55. due to the fact that he is reportedly armed, what kind of gangsta puts that out on the PSA. Real gangstas dont say they’re gangsta, they dont say they’re armed, gangstas don’t dance, & they most definately don’t run. A real gangsta is a gangsta that’s hush…omerta and all that…capisce?
