6:52 AM PT — Rick Ross‘ legal team responded to BlkCosmo with a statement denying the allegations. Attorneys Steve Sadow and Bradley Horenstein said their client, William Roberts II, is being “wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend whose true motivations are unclear.” They noted that the ex didn’t file a police report until a month after the claimed August 28 incident, and that Roberts has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The lawyers asked the public to reserve judgment and allow the judicial process to proceed.
6:49 AM PT — The rapper turned himself in to police Thursday morning and was arrested on two battery charges. An ex-girlfriend called authorities on Tuesday, claiming he had been violent with her, according to law enforcement sources.
According to the woman’s account to police, the alleged incident occurred on August 28. She claimed she was sleeping in their shared home when he woke her up in what she described as a jealous rage over a photo she was tagged in on social media. The situation escalated from there.
Police were told that he questioned her about lying and then slapped her across the face. She said he repeatedly accused her of being involved with someone else, and struck her each time she denied it.
The woman told authorities he struck her in the chest multiple times, choked her until she couldn’t breathe, grabbed her by her ponytail, and slammed her against a wall.

The woman provided police with photos of her alleged injuries. Ross voluntarily surrendered to authorities but declined to discuss her allegations during the process.
Court records show he has pleaded not guilty on both counts. He remains in custody, though his legal team is working to secure his release.
Rick Ross is in police custody in Miami-Dade County after being arrested on a pair of battery charges.
The rapper was arrested Thursday morning on charges of felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery.
He’s currently behind bars in Miami-Dade County jail. His booking photo shows him wearing a floral button-down shirt.
A full picture of what led to his arrest continues to develop.
Ross is being held on a $5,000 bond for the battery by strangulation charge and a $1,000 bond for the misdemeanor battery charge. Court records indicate both charges are related to domestic violence.
