Rick Ross says he's not hiding from gang members who made death threats against him, despite a video that went viral a few weeks ago and put him on notice.

Self-proclaimed members of Chicago-based Gangster Disciples demanded, on YouTube, that Rick Ross cut a check for GD founder Larry Hoover ... or else.

Rick Ross then canceled the remaining dates on his tour.

The Chicago Police Department took the video seriously enough to launch an investigation into the matter, but no arrests have been made as of this post.

Police are looking to speak with rapper Rick Ross after a man was shot to death in front of his Miami Gardens home this morning, according to TMZ.

Ross was not present at the time of the shooting.

At this point in the investigation, he's not considered a suspect. Police found the victim, a 40-year-old man, laying inside a gate at the home.

Investigators don't know if the victim has any connection to Ross, but since he is listed as the property owner, cops obviously want to ask him a few questions.

So far, no comment from Rick's camp about the situation.

Ross experienced major health problems last year, experiencing two seizures in a matter of months. Here's hoping he's totally uninvolved with this tragedy.

Doggone it, Rick Ross is in trouble with the law.

A lawsuit has been filed against the rapper following the death of a three-year old Yorkshire Terrier named Banks. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the canine suffered "3 large bite wounds on his back," along with a "very large bite wound" around his neck, all at the paws of Ross' pitbulls, which escaped from his home in April.

The owner of Banks was forced to euthanize the pet as a result of the attack.

Investigators cited Ross for the incident, but the lack of an apology from the artist has irked the owner to the point where she's demanding he pay over $15,000 in damages and court costs.

Let's hope the court also makes him put a shirt on. Yeeesh!
