Rick Ross is flirting with the idea of running for mayor of Fayetteville, Georgia, where the city council denied his permit to hold his annual car show.
On Tuesday, the Maybach Music Group boss took to his Instagram Story to announce his car show will run as planned despite getting denied on his permit application to host it. According to Ross, in order for this not to happen again, he’ll be running for the mayoral office in Fayetteville next year.
“I love Fayetteville so much. Next year I’m running for mayor,” he said. “That’s right. 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.”
Ross is still planning to host his car show on his massive Promise Land estate on June 3. According to WSB-TV, neighbors of the rapper went to the Fayette County Board of Commissioners in April and complained that last year’s car show brought too much traffic to the area.
Some signed petitions to axe the car show altogether, and others threatened to go on vacation to avoid the mass of people coming to the neighborhood. When he first heard the city’s ruling on his permit, Rozay shared a video on his Instagram Story claiming he wasn’t stressed by anything that could prevent the show from going down.
“Breaking news, the Rick Ross Car Show June 3 goes on. It must go on,” he declared in a series of clips posted to his Instagram Story. “It’s a private event on private property with VIPs and you’re invited. Tickets still available online. It’s going to be a beautiful event. Shoutout to the beautiful city of Fayetteville.”
He continued: “This when I become great during the challenges. That’s what I like. That’s why I was always one to initiate certain things because I love the challenge. I don’t have a problem going against the challenges because Ricky Rozay ready. Is it really a challenge?”
