Rick Ross

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Police in South Florida say rapper Rick Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into a building after hearing shots fired nearby.

Fort Lauderdale police say Ross and his companion, fashion designer Shateria L. Moragne-el, reported hearing multiple shots fired in their direction at around 5:00 a.m. Monday. Police say Ross lost control of the silver Rolls and crashed into an apartment building.

Neither Ross nor his passenger was injured and police say it did not appear that any bullets struck the Rolls.

The police report uses Ross's real name, William L. Roberts. Ross turned 37 years old Monday.

Authorities say unknown suspects fled before police arrived. TV news footage showed a bullet hole in the window of a nearby restaurant.

A Ross spokesman didn't respond to email seeking comment.

      When shots are fired, being a G has nothing to do with being stupid. RR did what anybody being shot at would do...haul ass...

For the racist comments, all u can do is talk or text it, cuz face to face u'd lose.

    Did I miss the memo or are rappers lyrics supposed to be an autobiography? Who is going to be shot at and just act like nothing is happening? A stone fool. I would rather be called a live chicken than a dead fish.

    Real talk...most rappers are ENTERTAINERS and doing just that...entertaining! If you like their music don't be simple minded & believe it! The money they bragging about is the money you give them when you buy their music. Only a handful of rappers really tote guns!!! & I've been around a few...when I've pulled mine maybe their people pulled one but they themselves were naked!!! I tote 24/7 and I'm a nobody in comparison. I'm living the life they talking bout!!! That's real talk & I'm not broadcasting on record...real niggas do real things & KEEP QUIET if you wanna stay alive & paid!!!
