Chicago Police Investigate Threats on Rick Ross

Rick Ross says he’s not hiding from gang members who made death threats against him — but the Chicago Police Department took the videotaped message seriously enough to launch an investigation.

You’ll recall … self-proclaimed members of the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples posted a video in which they demand Rick Ross cut a check for GD founder Larry Hoover.

The video went viral a few weeks ago, and Ross then cancelled the remaining dates on his tour.
