Rick Ross arrested on domestic battery and strangulation charges
The rapper was arrested in Miami Beach on Thursday, days after an ex-girlfriend accused him of physical abuseRick Ross has been arrested on domestic violence charges in Miami Beach, according to local police.
The rapper was booked at Turner Guilford Knight correctional center at 6.10am local time on Thursday and faces one felony count of battery by strangulation as well as a misdemeanor count of battery.
Bond has been listed at $6,000, according to Miami-Dade jail and court records.
Local authorities have not specified the circumstances that led to Ross’s arrest or details of the alleged incident. They also do not identify the alleged victim of the charges.
The Guardian has reached out to the musician’s representative for comment.
The arrest comes days after Rick Ross’s ex-girlfriend Jazzma Kendrick alleged that the rapper was physically abusive to her, People magazine reported.
“He saw a punching bag,” she wrote on an Instagram story after sharing images of a swollen lip that she said was caused by Ross. Alongside the picture she wrote: “The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left.”
“I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will,” Kendrick posted over another image.
“It’s always good until it isn’t,” she said. “If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave.”
Rick Ross, born William Leonard Roberts, is a longtime Miami resident with five No 1 albums and hit collaborations with Drake, DJ Khaled and Nicki Minaj, among many others. In July he released his 12th studio album, Set In Stone, which featured Gucci Mane, The-Dream and Yung Miami.
Local court records say that Ross has retained attorney Bradley Horenstein. His arraignment is set for 22 October.
That face you make when you go back to your old job but it don't hit the same because you're a customer now
50 bout to have a field day
That nigga... man something wrong with him. He gon play with the wrong one on the right day and get seen about.
50's baby mother was whored out by Diddy, no coming back from that.
Played the game too often and too long. Dealing with prostitutes is supposed to be transactional; this lame tries to keep em all. Put em on retainers like lawyers. Of course one of is gonna get you to slip! One good “Fat, ugly, little dick ..” comment and her forehead is open. You can’t treat hoes like ladies. Truest of the simps.
He’ll have a new one next week.

Wasn't wife. Just a pretty ho that got pregnant.
I never been concerned wit who a bitch fuck after I'm done wit it.
Played with his ego probably.
Probably called him a knock knee'ed duck or some shit and he lost it.
"YOU KNOW I'M THE BOSS!!! IS RICK ROSS GON' HAVE TO CHOKE A BITCH?!!"
So he should pursue old wenches?
Man she was constantly embarrassing him on live and in public
Why he kept her around after not wanting to show any pda is wild to me.....
I'm nowhere near his tax bracket, and I've never had a chick duck my hugs and kisses in public.....
I just wouldn't let that slide.... so for this to happen, wouldn't even remotely be a possibility. There'd be someone more affectionate in her place to avoid these issues.
This what I was about to say, ain’t shit 5o can say to clown another ninja
Yep, she was basically a prostitute and 50 wifed and raw dogged her before realizing the error of his ways.
Rawse 6 feet, buddy look short. I don't believe the bitch though
It's a bunch of white people I wouldn't know if they were right in front of my face
It's not like Ross is Snoop or 50
Judge is racist, she want us to believe she has never seen any type of Miami pop culture or entertainment news?It's a bunch of white people I wouldn't know if they were right in front of my face
It's not like Ross is Snoop or 50
Rick Ross is barely a gold selling rapper who performs in clubs, not stadiums or arenas.
You're overstating his popularity
He performs at the BET awards not the Grammy's
Look at the billboard top 20, how many of them would you recognize?
