Rick Ross gears up for most extravagant car show yet at Fayetteville estate

Ahead of the show, Ross welcomed the press and guests Wednesday night to a VIP media day held at the Luc Belaire Creative Space in Atlanta. The evening featured food, drinks, and networking opportunities. Kema Williams also presented Ross with a proclamation in recognition of his impact.

What they’re saying:

Ross told reporters that the event has grown steadily since it launched, both in scale and community impact.

“Every year we’ve got better and better. We’ve invested more and more—more detail, more, you know, just everything just to go smooth,” Ross said. “Just thinking about the people that’s coming in to enjoy the actual car show. So I’m excited for it. I look forward to it this Saturday, June 7th. Bring your family out. We’re going to have a great time.”

This year’s car show is expected to attract around 8,000 people and will showcase hundreds of rare and exotic vehicles alongside celebrity appearances.

“It’s really a great networking event,” Ross said. “It’s a lot of celebrities. It’s a lot of entertainers. It’s a lot of CEOs and it’s just really a lot of people who love to come out and have a good time. So it’s always great energy.”

Ross said he recently spoke with filmmaker Tyler Perry, who “got a surprise that’s going to be out there.” Past celebrity guests have included artists like Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, and Tyler, the Creator.

The event has become an economic driver for the area, Ross noted.

“We usually sell out every hotel within a 60-mile radius,” he said. “After last year, I gave a donation to help a lot of people out and I’m sure a lot of the city seen it.”

Ross encouraged fans and families to attend the show and support Fayetteville.

“This Saturday, it’s going to be an amazing event,” he said. “Come down and enjoy that—the amazing city of Fayetteville. Thank you, Atlanta, and everybody that’s coming up the big way. Too easy? Most definitely.”
