Rick Ross has canceled concerts in North Carolina after receiving gang death threats.

The rapper was slated to perform in Charlotte and Greensboro over the weekend on a bill including Meek Mill, Wale and Machine Gun Kelly, but scrapped the shows in the wake of YouTube video threats from the Gangster Disciples group.

According to reports, the gang’s local chapter warned Ross about visiting the area because the music star allegedly disrespected the gang’s imprisoned leader Larry Hoover in the song “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” while also appropriating the group’s symbol for his “Black Bar Mitzvah” mixtape.

In response, masked Gangster Disciples members posted a number of threatening videos concerning the rapper.

On Friday, Ross tweeted, “North Carolina I wuz so excited to perform tomorrow wit [Maybach Music Group]Promoters cancelled show but I’ll be Back ASAP. #luv.”

Live Nation has given no official reason for the cancellations.

A concert in Nashville on Sunday is currently still on as scheduled.

  • reneeislookin

    This is exactly what Jeezy was talking about when people were saying he was hating. Ross spewed all of that garbage out of his mouth about things he didn’t know about and now, he is dodging…. hilarious………………………… Step up Boss…I thought you knew Big Meesh…I thought you knew Larry Hoover……..

  • pfft

    Not wanting to get shot is not “dodging”. It’s stupid to act like he has a responsibility to take on these immature little bangers. I’m sure his insurance people prefer he keep breathing, rather than get shot over some loser gangbanger in prison.

    No “gangster” wants to get shot!

    “This black kids?” No it’s “these” if you want to talk shit then learn proper English and learn to make some fucking sense. Clearly the fucker is you hence why you didn’t even spell that word right. Jokes on you dumbass.

    this is the problem… “Rick Ross” steals Freeway’s looks and life – makes millions. “Rick Ross” claims he’s a gangster – all proof points otherwise…. He will always make money because people believe the hype over TRUTH… “Rick Ross” should’ve gotten dealt with when he said “I never heard of Rick Ross (Freeway)”…. Now he’s acting like he’s scared… Instead of admitting he’s a poser, he claimed what he wasn’t…. Stupid ass!!!
