Rick Ross’ second annual car show — which will include performances from himself and Gucci Mane and being held at his Promise Land estate — was initially denied a permit by Fayette County earlier this month.
However, the Biggest Bawse remained resolute and insisted that the show will go on as planned, as he’s been complying with county regulations.
“Breaking news, the Rick Ross Car Show June 3 goes on. It must go on,” he claimed in a series of clips posted to Instagram following the news. “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.”
Ross has also taken the time to assure his neighbors that the car show will be good for the community, noting how they could make some extra money by charging attendees for parking.
