Rick Ross is facing serious allegations from a former partner, and the rapper has not publicly responded. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, model and content creator Jazzma Kendrick accused Rick Ross of physical abuse in a series of posts to her Instagram Story, sharing photos she said documented injuries. The claims are unproven, and no charges have been reported.
Jazzma Kendrick, who has been in an on-and-off relationship with the rapper since early 2025, wrote that one image showed the day she says he "busted" her lip and the day she decided to leave. Responding to a follower who complimented her appearance, she wrote, "He saw a punching bag." These are her allegations, made on social media, and have not been independently established.
What Was Said
In her posts, Jazzma Kendrick included a message aimed at other women, warning that abuse can escalate. "I don't know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will," she wrote, urging others to leave after a first instance of violence. She did not specify a date or location for the alleged incidents.
As of the initial reports, Rick Ross, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II, had not issued any public statement addressing the accusations. No police report, charge, or court filing has been reported in connection with the claims, and the allegations remain one side's account.
50 Cent Weighs In
The accusations drew a quick response from 50 Cent, who has traded barbs with Rick Ross for years. This time he set the usual jokes aside on the core issue. "This punk put his hands on baby girl, he stressed that album didn't sell," he wrote, adding, "I'd laugh at him, but domestic violence is not a joke."
The comment folded a career jab into a condemnation, consistent with the long-running back-and-forth between the two. Even so, it kept the focus on the seriousness of the allegation rather than treating it as another round of their rivalry.
The exchange followed a recent stretch of online sparring between the two rappers, including 50 Cent needling Rick Ross over canceled tour dates and Ross questioning his rival's business dealings. That history is worth noting only because it explains why 50 Cent responded so quickly, not because it bears on whether the underlying claims are true, which remains unestablished.
Where Things Stand
The couple's history has been publicly on and off. Jazzma Kendrick announced a split in September 2025, but the two appeared to reconcile and were seen together as recently as July 2026. That timeline is part of why the posts drew immediate attention.
For now, the allegations sit unproven and unanswered. Rick Ross has not responded publicly, no legal action has been reported, and the claims are based entirely on Jazzma Kendrick's social media posts.
