American rapper, Rick Ross did not show up at St. Louis gig and those promoters want their money back. They are already out almost $75k because of Ross skipping the show. St. Louis concert promoters, Black Luxury Entertainment LLC and Rock house Entertainment, are taking Ross to court, suing him for $30k. that sum is the down payment for a $60k concert appearance fee.
Rick Ross didn’t show up and the promoter was left holding the bag, and it was a heavy one. He lost $74k on the gig in total. That includes the 30 grand that Ross took, $6000 for the venue, $3300 on travel and accommodations, $4100 on marketing, and $2500 on production costs.
A lawsuit was filed In St. Louis Circuit Court in May which said the parties contracted with the rapper and Ross Touring LLC. They didn’t hear anything back, and Ross ghosted them. He didn’t show up for the performance after collecting the $30k deposit.
Rick Ross has continually avoided this situation. Meeks and Watson’s attorney said they tried to contact him several times, attempting to reschedule the concert. Ross avoided their calls and left their messages unread. Will Ross show up when this law suit comes through? He was set to get the rest of his $60k appearance fee when he arrived in St. Louis, but that didn’t happen.
