Rick Ross doesn’t disappoint when it comes to putting on a show, and his 2nd annual car extravaganza was proof of that. Despite Fayette County’s initial reservations, the event turned out to be an epic triumph, leaving both the thousands in attendance and county officials impressed. And it all went down at Rozay’s Fayetteville Promise Land estate.
Sources within Fayette County told TMZ that the car and bike show’s event planners went above and beyond in their communication with officials. Working hand in hand, they ensured that all the necessary permits and regulations were met, resulting in a well-coordinated spectacle that left no room for complaint.

Of course, no event of this magnitude is without its challenges. It’s reported there were approximately 19 medical emergencies during the show. However, thanks to the presence of efficient EMS personnel on-site, swift assistance was provided. Out of those cases, only four required transportation to a hospital, and fortunately, only one turned out to be of a serious nature.
To ensure the safety of attendees, the Fire Marshal meticulously inspected the premises, making sure that Rick and his team complied with all the necessary codes and regulations. Additionally, the Health Department paid close attention to the food vendors, ensuring that everything was up to standard. With all boxes checked, the event proceeded flawlessly.
Security was also a top priority. Sheriff deputies were present throughout the event, ensuring the safety of both guests and the property. Their presence added an extra layer of protection, keeping any potential issues at bay.
Let’s not forget the traffic situation, which had been a nightmare during the previous year’s show. However, this time around, attendees experienced a significant improvement. The organizers took note of the previous challenges and made the necessary adjustments to ensure smoother traffic flow, resulting in a more enjoyable experience for all.

It’s important to remember that Fayette County’s initial rejection of the MMG rapper’s permit was rooted in concerns regarding compliance with zoning ordinances. County officials were determined not to repeat the unauthorized success of last year’s event. Nevertheless, Rick managed to secure a permit with strict guidelines, and he undoubtedly delivered an unforgettable experience on his expansive Promised Land estate in Fayetteville that sits on 300 acres of land.
The show boasted an impressive lineup of celebrities and car enthusiasts alike. Not only that, guests were treated to a concert where Rick Ross brought out rappers Meek Mill and Gucci Mane to perform. Peep the clips below:
Rapper Tyler the Creator was also spotted at the event:

While the event went down without a hitch on Rick Ross’ estate, some of the rapper’s fans allegedly trashed a plaza parking lot near the show. However, Rick Ross’ lawyer says the car and bike show had NOTHING to do with it.
Shoppers and employees in a bustling plaza were left dumbfounded by the sheer amount of trash scattered across the area following Saturday night’s events. Speculations are running wild, with many pointing fingers at fans who were unable to attend the rapper’s highly-anticipated car and bike show located approximately three miles away.
WSB-TV reports:
People who arrived and saw all the debris said it looked and smelled like a landfill.
“It smells. It stinks. Look at all this trash. It’s so just ugh,” Shanette Parks said.
Parks had to hold her nose when she saw all the trash in the Kroger parking lot on Old National Highway and Flat Shoals in the City of South Fulton Sunday morning.
People who work in the plaza say it was packed with people partying well into the night Saturday. Some believe fans who couldn’t get into rapper Rick Ross’ Car and Bike show about three miles down the road chose to party here.
“I know Rick Ross didn’t do this. I know he didn’t do this,” Angelisha Tillman said.
“His guests did it,” Parks said.
“He needs to get on his guests,” Tillman responded.
We saw beer bottles, broken bottles, soda bottles, cups and other trash.
“Just nasty,” Parks said with her nose turned up at the odor.
Channel 2′s Tom Jones spoke with the rapper’s attorney for WSB Tonight and he denied trashed parking lot had anything to do with Ross’ event. Ross’ attorney says there’s no need for his client to get on anyone. Leron Rogers says there were plenty of cruisers in the area. But the Car and Bike show had nothing to do with the trash left in the parking lot.
Lord.
On the stage in New York…

Cardi B took center stage at the highly anticipated HOT 97 Summer Jam on Sunday (June 4). The music festival made its grand return to New York after nearly a decade, and Cardi made sure it was a night to celebrate female rappers.
The “Bodak Yellow” superstar delivered an electrifying performance, treating fans to an array of hits from her chart-topping debut album, Invasion of Privacy, as well as her latest releases. The crowd went wild as Cardi flawlessly belted out one crowd-favorite after another, leaving no doubt that she knows how to bring the heat.
But she didn’t stop there.
Bardi knows how to surprise and delight her fans, and she did just that by bringing out some special guests to join her on stage. The audience erupted with excitement as Latto and GloRilla, two talented artists with whom Cardi recently collaborated, joined her for unforgettable performances.
In a move that showcases her support for fellow female rappers, Cardi B and GloRilla unleashed their lyrical prowess with their hit collaboration, “Tomorrow 2,” and Bardi dropped her bars on Latto’s newly released remix, “Put In On Da Floor Again.”
