Rapper Rick Ross was arrested in Miami Beach on charges related to domestic violence. He faces felony charges for battery by strangulation and a misdemeanor battery charge, as reported by authorities. His lawyer claims Ross, 50, is being wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend and emphasizes that there was a delay in filing the police report.
Ross is currently held on $5,000 bail, with an arraignment set for October 22. This is not his first legal issue; in 2017, he pleaded no contest to charges including kidnapping and assault. Ross, whose real name is William Roberts II, is well-known for his debut single “Hustlin.”
