Rick Ross Threatened? Please, Rapper Says >>Hollywood

If Rick Ross is feeling threatened by a Chicago gang, he's putting on a good front.

Following Gangster Disciples' apparent Rick Ross death threat on YouTube, he nixed the remaining dates on a U.S. tour with his Maybach Music Group.

Gang members instructed Ross to "cut a check" to GD kingpin Larry Hoover, like now, or else, but Ross said in an interview that this didn't faze him one bit.

"Ricky Ross is a boss. You can't cancel a Ricky Ross show without Ricky Ross' permission," he said, referring to himself in the third-person for some reason.

"I canceled the rest of the tour due to the promoter, he wasn't really handlin' his business. Once they began to unravel, I shut it down. Never was it due to any threats."

"Any dude can stand in a crowd with 30 or 40 dudes and everybody real, everybody 'bout that life, everybody gangsta. But when the choppers come out, everybody fold."
