BHR Hollywood Reports..........Hip-hop fans were left disappointed over the weekend after rapper Rick Ross cancelled his performance at the Summer Jamz concert in Detroit after being left "in fear of his life".
The performance which was due to take place at Chene Park on Saturday was called off after a blockade of 100 people stopped the rapper, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, from entering the building.
The crowd were less than impressed when the news of the cancellation was broken by organiser of the event, 107.5's radio programme director, Jay Hicks. According to The Huffington Post, he said "We had Rick Ross right outside here tonight at about 11 o'clock. When he was pulling up to come into Chene Park, he was met by 100 individuals outside. We have tried to pull every resource together and ask him to come back."Ross fear for his safety his."
"And that n***** is not performing here tonight, and he may never come back to Detroit. So I'm sorry to say that the concert is over. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. We tried our best," he added. The protest of 100 attendees was allegedly started by local rapper Trick Trick, who in his latest song, No Fly Zone, suggests that other rappers need to ask his permission to visit the city.

In a statement released by the venue manager, The Right Productions, Shahida Mausi said: “We want to extent our deepest regrets to our patrons who attended Summer Jamz17 who should have been treated to an outstanding performance from Rick Ross."
"We have the upmost respect for our guests at Chene Park and they deserve better. ... Acts of intimidation, bullying, threats or violence of any kind that compromises the security and enjoyment of our shows will not be tolerated at Chene Park," Mausi said.
