Rick Ross’ second annual car and bike show has run into a roadblock with Fayette County reportedly denying him a permit to host the event at his Georgia mansion.
According to documents obtained by XXL, the permit was denied on Tuesday (May 16) by the county because it “is not in compliance with Fayette County Zoning Ordinance.”

Rozay is slated to host the car show at his Promise Land estate on June 3 with performances from himself and Gucci Mane.
“Any decision to allow the 2022 event to move forward as a conditional use in the A-R Zoning District was made outside of the scope of authority of the then acting Director of Planning & Zoning/ Zoning Administrator,” the doc reportedly reads.
After getting wind of the county’s ruling, Ross doubled down that his show will go on as planned with or without the county on board.

“Breaking news, the Rick Ross Car Show June 3 goes on. It must go on,” he claimed in a series of clips posted to his Instagram Story. “It’s a private event on private property with VIPs and you’re invited. Tickets still available online. It’s going to be a beautiful event. Shoutout to the beautiful city of Fayetteville.”
The Biggest Boss continued: “This when I become great during the challenges. That’s what I like. That’s why I was always one to initiate certain things because I love the challenge. I don’t have a problem going against the challenges because Ricky Rozay ready. Is it really a challenge?”

According to WSB-TV, the MMG mogul’s neighbors went to the Fayette County Board of Commissioners in April and complained that last year’s car show brought traffic in the area to a complete standstill.
Some neighbors signed petitions to kill the car show and others threatened to go on vacation just to avoid the excess of people.
“Imma tell you this — I wouldn’t even feel right if they weren’t boycottin’ Bawse,” Rick Ross responded on May 1 via Instagram. “Because I never got nothin’ easy. It was never handed to me. I would be confused if they just let me get the money, when everybody else just met big rich producers and got record deals, and got rich. So, I would be confused if they weren’t boycottin’ the Bawse. HUH? HUH!”
