Since last year, Rick Ross has been receiving death threats from a gang known as the Gangster Disciples. In November 2012, the rapper canceled a few tour dates in North Carolina and Chicago where the gang is believed to have a stronghold.

“I was just in Chicago a week a half ago,” Rick Ross said in an interview with 99 Jamz in December. “That’s the birthplace of the GD’s. If I go to Chicago to handle my business like I did, I have no problem going to North Carolina or South Carolina, where the ladies are brown skinned with brown eyes, and they got nice curls and they make the best apple pie.”
