Police Shootout Follows Rick Ross “Mastermind” Release Party

    In honor of the upcoming release of Rick Ross‘ new album, Mastermind, the Miami rapper stopped by a handful of clubs including Chamblee, Georgia’s Velvet Room to celebrate, but according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Ross’ Velvet Room visit ultimately ended in gunfire.

    The newspaper reports that an unnamed DJ, who was allegedly working at the club during the night of the incident, was involved in a shootout between two off-duty police officers outside of the club around 4 A.M. this morning (March 3). Police were reportedly responding to shots fired behind the club when they were confronted by the DJ who then began to fire at them.

    Police then returned fire, subsequently wounding the DJ in the leg. The DJ involved in the shooting was then transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment.

    “For whatever unknown reasons, it appears that this DJ who was involved in the shooting with some others turned and shot at the officers, and that’s when they returned fire,” DeKalb Public Safety Director Cedric Alexander said. “They were doing what they were trained to do…they took all the necessary actions to protect themselves and each other.”

    It is currently unclear if Ross or any of the other celebrity attendees were present during the shooting, which took place after club hours. In addition to the Maybach Music Group founder, the Velvet Room event was also hosted by Diddy.

    Diddy’s appearance at Velvet Room comes only hours after a party the Bad Boy Records founder and Atlanta rapper Future hosted in Charlotte, North Carolina during the weekend of the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association) basketball tournament.

    According to AllHipHop.com, two people were shot in the leg while attending the party held at the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel early Sunday (March 2).

    Video footage from the shooting can be found below (via XXL magazine).

    1. Bitch Tits really this desperate for some publicity?

      He should know standing next to Diddy will get your murked. Especially when you pretending to be B.I.G.

      1. The probability that you are 40 years Rick Ross groupie and and take selfies in your hooptie is 100%!

      2. I don’t see criticism I just see homoeroticism by sexualizing a mans breasts: “Bitch Tits”, plus the weak attempt at humor leads me to believe that you are from a foreign culture and not from the culture that HipHop originated from.

      3. he literally has the breasts/tits of a bitch, thats not sexualizing, he’s the one who always got his shirt off on stage and in videos.

        he been milking that shooting from last year and he didn’t even get 1 bullet in his car all over this album and in the videos, it’s not that far fetched to think he would pull some shit like this the day before the album’s release!

      4. Its funny as hell how loner types get fascinated by people that that take pictures, I think they envy people who have an identity because society wont allow them to.

      5. Gay white teens have a fetish for 40 year olds that’s why they worship 50, he speaks to their pain.

      6. “Its funny as hell how loner types get fascinated by people that that take pictures, I think they envy people who have an identity because society wont allow them to.”

        The irony of this comment coming from an actual loner.

      7. Im looking for a new identity myself, thinking about co-opting the name and appearance of a drug lord to maybe get my rap career to take off. Any suggestions?

      8. Gay black men have a fetish for white teens that’s why they worship Ross, he speaks to their pain.

    2. Misleading title, the title should say: “random nigga got shot after rap concert”, shit happens once every 24 hours.

      1. “The torture from bullies made you what you are.”

        homie is seriously deranged. no need to get your panties in a bunch.

        nothing said above was a lie. ross hired off duty cops for security and they shot the dj who was shooting at someone else.

      2. Who’s “we?” You’re alone, buddy? YOU’RE the reject that bullies constantly tease in school.

      3. he musta got picked on hard and now he tries to bully others online who dont share his tastes in music by attacking their race, age, sexuality and anything else he can grasp at!

        like calling someone white is an insult!

      1. Ross tried to be like 50 and take his shirt off all the time but the ladies puked in their mouths.

    3. Ross and Diddy rolling with the po-po. I swear Ross and his fans used to hate on other rappers for doing the same.

    4. “Im looking for a new identity myself, thinking about co-opting the name and appearance of a drug lord to maybe get my rap career to take off. Any suggestions?”

      you should pretend to be a crippled hermit who is such a social reject and societal misfit who can only communicate with other people in comment sections on obscure websites because you have been forced to hide your identity due to constant scorn and ridicule from normal people.

      1. How is HHDX an “obscure website”?

        ” you have been forced to hide your identity due to constant scorn and ridicule from normal people.”

        how funny is it that an anonymous nigga keeps typing shit like this?

      2. He feels whole when people acknowledge his existence, he is a loner who seeks attention from strangers because no one else will pay him attention. He trolls as an “anonymous” to make fantasy friends and have someone to talk to.

    5. When you dont have any friends or a girlfriend you have to seek interaction from strangers online.

      1. ^^ damn homie, LOL i dunno if he was trying to talk shit about someone but that comment says a lot about the person who typed it

    6. Be sure to go buy your copies of Mastermind, it comes with free tickets to see RoboCop! Ross had to release it a day early to get extra sales and to compete with Pharrell.

      1. “Be sure to go buy your copies of Mastermind, it comes with free tickets to see RoboCop!”

        ………………………………(coughs). I cringed so bad reading that lame ass joke.

    7. It looks so easy to manipulate that middle aged ross stan. all it takes is one cop joke and hes calling you a homosexual white person who was bullied in school, all because someone doesn’t like Rick Ross AHAHAHA

    8. So is this supposed to sell this album? Didn’t he supposedly get shot at in his car the last time his album dropped?

      I ‘m not feeling dude…

      1. he didnt have an album coming out when they shot into the air and he got so scared he crashed into a building

    9. Fam Rozay lies are the dopest he said he was worth 92 million at the beginning of Mastermind and then by track 8 he down to 70 million

      1. why would they do that? Sounded like they were off duty and being paid to be security at the listening party.

      2. “About 4 a.m., two off-duty officers working at the nightclub heard gunshots in the back of the club, according to DeKalb Public Safety Director Cedric Alexander. When the officers responded to the rear of the club, “one subject turned toward them, firing shots,” Alexander said. ”

        Responding from inside the club though! Boo ya

      3. Original argument: I bet that Dj didnt do shit. Police seen him and just shot first and made up questions later.

        Answer: WRONG. They were responding to him (the dj) firing shots at somebody else, not because he was black. They were there as security.

    10. Now we can look forward to hearing Ross rap about being in a shootout with the police even though he wasn’t even there.

      1. “About 4 a.m., two off-duty officers working at the nightclub heard gunshots in the back of the club, according to DeKalb Public Safety Director Cedric Alexander. When the officers responded to the rear of the club, “one subject turned toward them, firing shots,” Alexander said. “

      1. I know but I used to go there when they would turn niggas away at the door for wearing polo, now I see the video above and it looks like a teen club now, and the hoes quality dropped significantly.

    11. Damn I guess the haters out in full force huh? Niggas be comin up and shooting at shit. This the problem with some niggas they keep on tryin to kill each other when they should be celebrating another black mans success.

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

    12. at least Mastermind will outsell all of 50 Cent’s albums lmao. Deeper Than Rap outsold Get Rich or Die Tryin’ lmao swag

      1. Miserable motherfuckers put other people down to feel good about themselves or their choices. You the only child conceived thru bukkake cuz your mom didn’t rinse off properly.

      2. Ladies and gentlemen, this is some retarded idiot above me. DTR did indeed go gold and it even says it in front of his face.

      3. If anyone’s the retarded idiot, it’s you. The video fucking lied. Deeper Than Rap did not go gold, stop believing everything Ross tells you.

      4. If I were to say that Before I self destruct went platinum, you would believe me. Rick ross went gold on every album except his first which went platinum. Mastermind will go gold.

      5. You are retarded. Only four Ross albums went gold, Deeper Than Rap didn’t go gold and Port Of Miami didn’t go platinum. Mastermind won’t go gold. Stop believing everything you hear and think with your brain.

      6. Yet you choose to believe what RIAA says. The irony is this situation. Ross says what certifications they received. Let me assure you 50’s new album won’t go 1/10th gold which is 50,000 units.

      7. I kno hes a troll so i shouldnt even b respondin but for da sake of arguement. deeper than rap 400,000 Get rich or die tryin over 8,000,000. u must b on dat ice boi

      8. Yet 50 cent had to sell out with eminem just to get to 8 million. Also helps that he’s pop and album sales were stronger.

      9. “Yet you choose to believe what RIAA says. The irony is this situation. Ross says what certifications they received. Let me assure you 50’s new album won’t go 1/10th gold which is 50,000 units.”

        RIAA are the ones who give out the plaques and have more credibility than Ross, who lies a lot. And 50’s new album will sell more than Ross’.

      10. “Yet 50 cent had to sell out with eminem just to get to 8 million. Also helps that he’s pop and album sales were stronger.”

        50 didn’t sell out at all and he’s not pop.

      11. Deeper than Rap and Port of Miami are very close to gold and platinum at least.

        Also, 50 cent had to rely on eminem for success.

        (BTW, why give ross flack for the rape line when eminem said far worse about killing his wife?)

      12. “Deeper than Rap and Port of Miami are very close to gold and platinum at least.”

        But they’re not gold/platinum.

        “Also, 50 cent had to rely on eminem for success.”

        50 Cent’s biggest hits didn’t have Eminem on them. He didn’t need to rely on him and he didn’t.

      13. They are close to going platinum and gold though. When’s BISD gonna go platinum?

        Also, Eminem promoted these singles on radio along with dr dre, even if they are not on them.

    13. Those were not police officers, those were other gangsters dressing up like police officers, like Ross. Ross took care of them.

    14. 50 Cent’s biggest hits didn’t have Eminem on them. He didn’t need to rely on him and he didn’t.

      Hey, 50 cent is far better than officer ricky. Don’t make fun of fiddy. Im getting angry.

    15. “Only four Ross albums went gold, Deeper Than Rap didn’t go gold and Port Of Miami didn’t go platinum. Mastermind won’t go gold”

      You sound mad lol It’s not that serious.

    16. “50 Cent’s biggest hits didn’t have Eminem on them”

      The point was he relied on Em far to much.

    17. “50 didn’t sell out at all and he’s not pop”

      He totally sold out, and re listen to BISD. That had several Ja Rulish type songs.

      1. i like the kanye song for 3.5 minutes until rozz comes in and i also don’t like that soul sample, it fucks up that knockin beat kanye always doing that shit

    18. “ross hired off duty cops for security and they shot the dj who was shooting at someone else”

      Suge Knight used to do that.

    19. LOL these clowns arguing over platinum and gold, if these millionaire rappers cared about that shit as much as you do they would take their money and buy those extra albums just to get a plaque but they dont care about that shit.

      1. Remember when that nigga Curtis wore bulletproof vests to every show cause he was afraid of getting shot again? lol

    20. “How do I sound mad? I just stated facts”

      Facts you re-state every day for months. It’s time to move on junior.

    21. “cause the people doing the shooting was his hired security!”

      Oh you mean the people actors, athletes, and business men hire to protect them, but in your twisted world that’s somehow different.
