Rick Ross Cancels Concert Amid Death Threats, Stays Proud by Leadn(m): 2:26am On Dec 12, 2012 |
Boss and popular rapper Rick Ross has cancelled his scheduled concerts in Charlotte and Greensboro amid death threats A Maybach Music Group concert tour headlining Rick Ross was scheduled to appear Friday in Greensboro and Saturday at the Bojangles Coliseum. Rappers Wale and Meek Mill were scheduled to appear as well. The theats stem from the Gangster Disciples, who have a beef with Ross. The North Carolina Chapter recently put out a YouTube video warning him to stay out of Charlotte. Tickets can be refunded starting Friday, the Live Nation Entertainment group said in a statement. No specific reason was given for the cancellations. “I think fans should be concerned. I think the parents should be concerned because you never know,” said Paul Scott, a minister from Durham who is also a Hip Hop journalist. Scott has been highly critical of the violence sparked by rap artists. “Hip Hop does not represent the real street, the commercial Hip Hop that Rick Ross promotes represents Wall Street and Wall Street cares nothing about the loss of human life if they can make a dollar.” Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police released a statement Wednesday before the cancellation, saying officers would remain vigilant to ensure safety.. Deon Cole is a friend of Ross and is the Assistant Programming Director for Power 98. He didn’t believe that fans have anything to worry about. In the rap video the Disciples are upset because Ross mentions the name of the founder of the street gang and uses the Star of David to promote himself. That symbol is used by the gang. Cole believes that one day Ross and the Disciples will work out their problems. Scott says he wouldn’t take the chance and if his kids asked to go he would say no. “No one took the Tupac Notorious BIG beef seriously until they were both dead.” Rick Ross however claims the cancellation isn’t ‘cos of death threats but poor business management by his promoter “I’m a certified man, I am a real boss and this is something that everybody need to understand, gangsters move in silence,” Ross said. “And in situations like that, I remember something an old-school Dade County gangster told me a long time ago, that any dude can stand in the crowd with 30, 40 dudes and everybody real, everybody trill, everybody about that life, everybody gangsta. But when the choppers come out everybody fold.” Ross also mentioned Larry Hoover (the mob boss the rapper name-checked in his hit “B.M.F.”) and addressed a scuffle with Young Jeezy at the BET Awards this fall before conclusing that he’s not concerned with personal vendettas. “I could put 1,000 gangsters in any hood, but that’s not what I’m here for: I’m here to make stars, I’m here to make icons, I’m here to be Grammy nominated–and that’s what I’m doing.” http://xtremegists.com/2012/12/maybach-music-group-mmg-rapper-rick-ross-cancels-concert/
