Rick Ross Blocked From Festival By Mob Scene

06/23/2014
. (Radio.com) Rick Ross did not make his scheduled performance at Detroit's HOT 107.5 Summer Jamz 17 concert at the city's Chene Park Amphitheater on Saturday night (June 21). The no-show came amidst rumors that he was blocked from entering the venue by a large mob of people at the behest of local rapper, Trick Trick.

Ross was supposed to headline the multi-artist bill that also included B.o.B., A$AP Ferg and Scarface, among others. According to concert promoter The Right Productions, Ross was confronted by "100 individuals" that would not allow the rapper and his entourage to enter the venue.

"This issue didn't happen within Chene Park; it happened outside," said David Rudolph, a spokesperson for The Right Productions (via MLive). "And it's unfortunate that this was a tactic to prevent another artist performing."

Radio station program director Jay Hicks addressed the crowd of approximately 3000 people from the stage moments after the confrontation to announce that the show was over.

"I'm going to be real with y'all; I'm going to be real as f-," Hicks explained over a chorus of boos from the audience. "We had Rick Ross right outside here tonight at about eleven o'clock. As he was pulling up to come into Chene Park, he was met by 100 individuals outside� we will try to pull every resource together and ask (Ross) to come back. He is in fear of his life. I'm just being real; real talk. This is some real s-. He was in fear of his life and (he) is not performing here tonight." more on this story
