Rick Ross Fight at Summer Jamz 17 [WATCH]: Rapper 'Punched In Face' by Trick Trick's Goon Sqwad After Extreme Weight Loss, 'Fears For His Life' in Detroit? : MStarsNews

Rapper Rick Ross recently lost a lot of weight - and what does he get for all of his hard work and dedication? Apparently a punch in the face, and now he "fears for his life" in Detroit!

Back in April, Ross explained to Washington DC's hit radio station 93.9 WKYS (via E! Online):

"It was just time for me to tighten up a little bit, you know what I'm saying. As far as, you know, me working out... I have no destination, no specific weight... And also, you know, I've been doing this CrossFit thing, you know, shout-out to Reebok, we had started doing that, you know, last year, sometime and you know, it's just catching up a little bit."

And the 38-year-old Maybach Music Group emcee's lookin' good!

But what's up with Ross' disappearance at Hot 107.5 FM's annual Summer Jamz concert in Detroit (Saturday, June 21)?

Well, according to the infamous gossip webloid MediaTakeOut.com, the Miami rapper got into a little "tiff" with some of the city's self-proclaimed "leaders" (including rapper Trick Trick and his Goon Sqwad). Allegedly, all performing artists were asked to make a "suggested cash donation" that would later be "distributed to the streets." Ross didn't want to pay, so he just beefed-up security once he got to Motor City. Well, that apparently didn't work...

Detroit's "Good Squad" wasn't pleased, so ambushed Ross and his crew while they were pulling in backstage [allegedly]. The Mastermind emcee even supposedly got punched in the face during the scuffle. He felt so unsafe, he refused to perform at the highly-anticipated Chene Park concert. According to MLive.com:

"Ross decided not to perform... because he was reportedly 'in fear of his life' after 100 individuals threatened him that night as his camp pulled into the venue."

The station's program director Jeremiah J. Hicks later explained things to fans in a video:

[WARNING, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]

The gist of Hick's message:

"It took me nine months to put this show together. I do this for y'all - I was at work negotiating contracts, putting sh*t together... I'm going to be real with y'all; I'm going to be real as f*ck. We had Rick Ross right outside here tonight at about eleven o'clock. As he was pulling in to come into Chene Park, he was met by 100 individuals outside. By 100 individuals outside! We will try to pull every resource together and ask him to come back (to the stage for the show Saturday night). He is in fear of his life. I'm just being real; real talk. This is some real sh*t. He was in fear of his life and he is not performing here tonight... And he may never come back to Detroit, and that's no sh*t."
