Wannabe gangsta rapper Rick Ross, real name William Leonard Roberts II, nearly escaped with his life after he wrecked his prized Rolls Royce while trying to evade a drive-by shooting in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Police say Ross, 37, was the intended target as a gunman (or gunmen) riddled his luxury Rolls with bullets fired from another vehicle around 5 a.m. this morning.
When the gunfire erupted, Ross lost control of the Rolls Royce and slammed into a residential building. Witnesses say the car’s other occupant was a woman, most likely his girlfriend Shateria who partied with Ross at Liv Nightclub Sunday night. A nearby diner was reportedly hit with gunfire. Police counted 15 spent bullet shells at the scene.
Ross owns homes in South Florida and Atlanta.
The photo of the smashed up Rolls was taken by Betty Yu, of South Florida’s NBC6.

BAWSE!
When will this madness end? *Folds my hands Mahalia Jackson style and prays*
It’s not like they didn’t warn him in a video that was posted on Worldstarhiphop…
This is crazy
They gone learn it’s real out here in these streets. So many rappers talk all that chit on a track and never stepped foot in Bankhead or Liberty City.
Don’t fake the funk and end up making a fool of yourself. You ain’t hard, don’t front.
BawSe BaWse Boss boss
Morning Donna and Jenie!
Diva Ro….hey suga mama! Whatchu know good?
Were they blind gunmen? I think I MIGHT see 2 holes
they need to leave Officer Ross alone…it’s not that serious…so killing him is gonna do what exactly?
Unshakable
Dam it’s real in these streets
i wonder why rap music isnt looked at, as entertainment like movies and tv shows. to me its entertainment.. never understood the ignorance of people feeling like rappers have to be real thugs cause they rap about it.
Nobody deserves to have their life taken I
for Ross. Having money ain’t everything 
Sandra Mae, “nearly” & “narrowly” are two different things – ESPECIALLY in this case. I think if Rick Rosd NEARLY escaped with his life, means he’s probably at the pearly gates begging St. Peter for a hook up!
PS: How you gone be a gangster named LEONARD??

See some people get caught up
And some charges brought up
With some people they shoot up
Hey.. there it goes again………..
Morning
@MsB,
IMO, I think some of these rappers just talk about that life and actually front on the video or on their tracks. They may just be in it for the $$. But they’re are those who can’t/won’t differentiate between fantasy/reality and….well…you get a First 48 moment….up close and personal.
For detectives, the clock starts ticking the moment they are called.
Eight o’clock a call comes in to Dallas PD….a man is found on the street corner……dead.

I think his beef with Jeezy started over BMF

I think he pissed some folks off claiming shyt that he wasn’t affliated with (BMF, HOOVER, etc). So it got real in the streets

@Trend from downstairs..When they lived here in AL before moving to IL, we used to all be cool. She doesn’t work and didn’t have a fone @ the time so I used to have to call her on his cell and one day I called for her and he answered and he’s been talking to me ever since.
I’ve been battling tell her what he’s told me but they are married so I dont say nuthin’ and mind my bidness. I want to tell her tho but she doesn’t have anywhere to go so I aint tryna make her homeless, you know?
Strictly platonic though.

Not judging, but if I READ CORRECTLY you is all kinds of wrong. JMO

I get your point but, names can be deceiving.
@PM…They weren’t even supposed to be living there. I asked her to quiet them down one day because I was trying to get a nap in, I was in teh last few months of my pregnancy and they sounded like they were just jumping all day or throwing themselves on the floor as hard as they could. She had the nerve to tell me she can’t do because they’re really small and she didn’t have the time to take them outside.
She got their asses right after I called my landlord though. 
Ty
THANK YOU! That’s part the chit I was thinking about plus too many of these punks wanna claim chit they ain’t apart of or ain’t affiliated with.
@ Caramel, hun, NOT cool. I would say shut down all communications with the cat. What’s gonna happen if one day your friend finds out (about the cheating) and know that you KNEW the whole time? It’s gon be trouble, trouble
Just LO_OkiNG :wave: You Good maaM?
I’on feel sorry for him. May God have mercy on his soul, if he aint sold it to Lucifer
@ GA…Anydamnedbody, Anydamnednumber. Just craay.

Yeah I knew a guy named Leonoard who was bat shyt crazy too. He ended up dead in motel room…that nigga would walk around with combat boots on talking to himself..GOD REST HIS SOUL

Just Looking you shortened your name
what is glazing donuts?
======================
I thought it was dude releasing all over your ass…but ion know much about sex
@Unshakable I agree with you that there are those who can’t differentiate real-life from fantasy and everyone is rapping about being about “that life” but for the everyday folks you would think they would be able to distinguish the two…
I guess those “gangstas” aren’t everyday folks they are also caught up in a fantasy and “street cred”

CARRINGTON sounds more like a “white-collar crime” name like espionage, ponzi scheme type ish LOL… BUT for real though it is REALLY REAL in those streets…. hell he CLAIMS he is a boss and a gangsta wasn’t he popping off about the gangs on the radio … he better calm his azz down and go eat some diced pinapples before there is some slow singing and slower bringing

That would be hard for me…I ride hard for my true friends, and to know her husband is cheating on her and I know about it would eat me up…
Would you want your friend to tell you if she knew your husband was cheating on you?
Rappers who are “ABOUT THAT LIFE” end up in jail (insert Boosie, TI, Pimp C, etc) and when they go to jail we call them idiots.
But when a rapper ” AINT BOUT THAT LIFE” he is a fraud and a clown and its acceptable for him to be shot at for it?
:wave: @ Diva!

And you don’t mind listening! My girlfriend husband has tried that bullshiat. I tell him you married her, Don’t be putting me in the middle of your mess.
How bad a shot are u if u miss when shooting at such an enormous target?
I’M SO SICK OF NICCAS WHO HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO BRING MEANING TO THEIR LIFE OTHER THAN TRYING TO EARN A NAME FOR THEMSELVES BY TRYING TO KILL A WELL KNOWN STUDIO RAP ARTIST OVER SOME ALLEGED VIOLATION OF THE STREET CODE
THESE MOFOS JUST WANT TO KILL, THEY DON’T NEED A REASON-SNATCHING LIFE MAKES THEM FEEL IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL-THE ENVY THEY HAVE FOR THIS MAN AND HIS SUCCESS AS AN ARTIST AND FINANCIALLY DRIVE THEM MAD LIKE RABIED DOGS AND UNFORTUNATELY THEY WON’T STOP UNTIL HE’S DEAD
THEY WANT TO SEND THIS MAN INTO HIDING AND ISOLATION FOR FEAR OF HIS LIFE, MENACE TO SOCIETY ARSES-THIS SHIAT FUNNY TO SOME BUT TO ME IT’S AN EXAMPLE FO THE UNLAWFULL AND UNCIVILIZED THAT’S WREAKING HAVOC ON OUR SOCIETY-AND WE’RE ALL JUST GROWING ACCUSTOMED TO IT
