DETROIT, MI -- Miami-based rapper Rick Ross says he's "War Ready" in a song with Young Jeezy, but reportedly wasn't prepared for what he faced Saturday night outside Detroit's Chene Park.
Ross decided not to perform at Detroit radio station Hot 107.5 FM's Summer Jamz 17 concert at the venue because he was reportedly "in fear of his life" after 100 individuals threatened him that night as his camp pulled into the venue.
Jeremiah J. Hicks, Hot 107.5 FM's program director, confirmed the news to the crowd inside Chene Park during a concert that was scheduled to include B.o.B., A$AP Ferg, Rico Love, Sevyn Streeter, Scarface and more.
Then Hicks told fans the show was over.
An excerpt from Hicks' announcement that starts at the video's 3-minute mark:
"It took me nine months to put this show together," Hicks told the crowd. "I do this for y'all; I was at work negotiating contracts, putting (expletive) together.
"I'm going to be real with y'all; I'm going to be real as (expletive). We had Rick Ross right outside here tonight at about eleven o'clock. As he was pulling in to come into Chene Park, he was met by 100 individuals outside. By 100 individuals outside!
"We will try to pull every resource together and ask him to come back (to the stage for the show Saturday night). He is in fear of his life. I'm just being real; real talk. This is some real (expletive). He was in fear of his life and he is not performing here tonight.
"And he may never come back to Detroit, and that's no (expletive)."
