Rick Ross is running into major trouble.
The rapper announced his second annual car show is taking place at his massive Fayetteville mansion on June 3. However, the Fayette County Department of Planning and Zoning said that “the proposed use of Ross’ residence is not in compliance with the county zoning ordinance.”
Although Ross was given permission to hold the same event last year, the county claims the scope of the event differs this time around which caused them to issue a denial.
According to the letter, the permit Ross was given in 2022 was under the guise that he would be throwing a “horse show/rodeo/carnival and/or community fair.” However, the office believes the event this year does not fit that particular categorization.
Ross took to social media to express his frustration and insists his car show will still be happening.
“Despite what you hear, it’s going down the biggest car/bike show of the year right here in the beautiful city of Fayetteville,” he said on Instagram. Ross also announced that he plans on running for Mayor next year.
“The boss Rick Ross running for mayor of Fayetteville. I wanna know how many votes did it actually take to vote in the mayor of Fayetteville. I need to know that ‘cause we gon’ become that. We gon’ make that happen, and we gonna have a good time. We gon’ give some people opportunities, we gon’ give some people raises and, of course, we gon’ have to clean some people out.”
