Residents of South Fulton, Georgia, were left in shock when a nearby plaza was trashed after rapper Rick Ross’ Car and Bike show. Although the event was held three miles away from the plaza, some believe that fans who couldn’t get into the show chose to party in the plaza instead. Shoppers and workers who witnessed the aftermath of the event attributed the mess to the rapper’s fans, despite a denial from his attorney.
Beer and soda bottles, cups, and broken glass were among the items left behind in the parking lot of a Kroger grocery store. While Ross’ attorney denied any link between the rapper and the trash, residents called on him to take responsibility for his guests.
Ross’ annual car and bike show draws thousands of people to his Fayette County mansion every year. However, last year’s event caused a traffic nightmare in the area. The recent incident in South Fulton has only added to the frustration of local residents who have had enough of the chaos caused by such events.
Although Ross may not be directly responsible for the actions of his fans, people say it’s important for him to take ownership of his events and ensure that they are organized in a way that does not cause disruption or damage to nearby areas. This incident serves as a reminder that while events like car shows may be enjoyable for some, they can have negative consequences for others if not properly managed.
The Rick Ross Car Show 2022 last year showcased some of the most exotic cars in his collection, including donk cars and vintage exotics to high-end luxury and sportscars. The event was a massive success, attracting thousands of visitors who were eager to see the rapper’s impressive car collection in person.

The event was attended by over 100 officers from multiple counties who helped move traffic along smoothly. Busses picked people up from lots and dropped them off at the car show, and no parking signs lined roads for miles in Fayette and Fulton counties. Businesses benefited from the event with the 50 Yard Line Breakfast and Sports Bar reporting booming business this year.
The six-hour event featured hundreds of cars, food, drink, and other vendors, with admission prices ranging from $325 to $2,500, excluding taxes and fees. Entry for cars and motorcycles was $750 including two general admission tickets. Gucci Mane performed at the event, and Ross himself joined by “special surprise guests.”
