Rick Ross’ annual car show down in Fayetteville, Georgia is getting a much-needed change after the rapper faced legal action over the show being wheelchair inaccessible.

According to Hot New Hip-Hop, Ross will now provide a round-trip shuttle service that is wheelchair-accessible for the big event. This comes amid a legal battle he’s been engaged in against a man named Darris Straughter.

In a statement, Straughter’s attorney, John Hoover, addressed the change, telling TMZ: “Thanks to Darris Straughter and the other wheelchair users who came forward, the upcoming Rick Ross Car & Bike Show will be so wheelchair accessible that even golf carts will be provided to wheelchair users.”

He added: “This is a milestone in the ongoing litigation. Defendants continue to deny wrongdoing, but if it wasn’t broken, they wouldn’t have to fix it.”

Darris Straughter Filed a Lawsuit against Rick Ross in 2024

Following Ross’s 2024 show, Straughter filed a lawsuit over being stuck without wheelchair-accessible transportation while he was attending the event. “Multiple shuttle-bus drivers acknowledged Mr. Straughter’s presence and disability but indicated those buses were not equipped to accommodate him,” the lawsuit read.
