On Monday morning, just hours after celebrating his birthday with friends at Club Liv in Miami, rapper Rick Ross was apparently shot at while driving in Fort Lauderdale with his girlfriend. Luckily neither of them were hurt, but Ross was forced to crash his car. The reported attack comes a month after a street gang known as the Gangster Disciples threatened to kill Ross via an online video. The shooting has not officially been linked to the gang.

Eerily, Ross recently released a new track -- a remix of LA rapper Kendrick Lamar's song "B**** Don't Kill My Vibe" -- with lyrics that appear to reference the incident. In one verse, he raps "Sometimes I look in the mirror, I can't believe I'm alive" and goes on to say he's "wishing death" on those who want to hurt him.

It's unknown whether the track was recorded before or after the incident, but this isn't the first time he's recorded after a scare; when he suffered two seizures in October 2011, he recovered quickly and released a mixtape and an album within six months of the incident. Do you think that Rick Ross should go into hiding?

I had no idea he was so unattractive up close. Good googamooga!

He probably had this staged to resemble Tupac & Biggie. He's not on their level.

I hope that he is alright, but don't get me wrong:
1- I do not consider Ross a rapper, and anyone who does should just GTFOH.
2- He has a girlfriend?! Have you seen tis guy without his shades? Blleuugh!
3- His rap culture glorifies killing and gun violence, so this is bad karma I guess. Sound harsh? Well, I am thinking about the needless deaths that have ensued because of this disgusting culture.

He preaches that "gangsta life" now hes caught in the middle of the same lifestyle he glorifies and teaches is ok. After the way you put it I revoke my sympathies for the man. I guess it was ok when he was teaching young kids to be violent now that its on his doorstep he is afraid smgdh

And so should all Rappers, maybe then we will have less of that Garbage some mistakenly call Music.
It should be sorted into the "Talk Show" criteria...

Most likely already dead? Who do you think Rick Ross is, some mafia don or something? He is a pussy former correctional officer who raps lies about a life he has never lived. He is the poster boy for fake wannabe gangsters. He stole is name from Freeway Ricky Ross and claims to have lived the drug dealing life of Freeway Ricky. Now real gangsters are going to teach him what it is really like to be a G. He chose his own road... and it may be a dead end.

No ... he should give the shooter another chance (as long as no innocent bystander is put at risk).
