Report: Rapper Rick Ross Cancels Tour Because of Gang Threats

December 10, 2012 by Jesus Dominguez

So there’s this gang out there called Gangster Disciples. I know, creative name. But it’s a real gang with real bad people in it. It’s been around since the 1960s. It was started by Larry Hover (who is still in prison on a few life sentences) and David Barksdale (who was shot and killed by a guy named “Suitcase”). That’s some real gangster s**t. Anyway… big gang that’s been around for a while. I really don’t know how to set up a gang network, but these guys do and they’ve got one. So they’re all over the US.

Rick Ross is a rapper. He’s a pretty scary looking dude. He’s got a lot of tattoos, raps about guns and cocaine and naked girls. He also raps about shoes, jewellery, cars, movies about gangsters, and purses and vacations in Europe. He gets the party started.

He was in the middle of his pretty big and successful “Maybach Music Group Tour” with fellow rappers Wale and Meek Mill. The tour was going pretty strong until it was cancelled. It started last Thursday when he cancelled two North Carolina shows set for the weekend. After that cancellation, the whole tour was killed.

Ross’ camp says it was due to an “apparent lack of organization and communication on the part of the tour promoter”. Pretty gangster.  BUT there might actually be a more gangster reason for cancelling. Maboot.com reports: ”Despite this official announcement, reports have been rife speculating that Ross in fact pulled the remainder of the tour after receiving death threats from a dangerous street gang known as the Gangster Disciples.”

Now, for sure if you p**s off Ross, his security will rough you up something fierce and we know he’s got fans all over the world. What he doesn’t have is a gang network. So, rather than put out their own diss track to promote an upcoming major label release, the Gangster Disciples got gangsta with it on YouTube. Maboot also reports: “In a recent YouTube video, several members of the gang, attacked Ross for name-dropping their imprisoned chairman Larry Hoover in the chorus of his 2010 hit single B.M.F (Blowing Money Fast), threatening him to stay away from Charlotte, North Carolina.”

Oh there were also death threats. Needless to say, Ross is going to lay low for a while.

Here’s one of Ross’ best known songs. Speedin’ featuring singer R. Kelly.
