Rick Ross was arrested over the summer for allegedly pistol whipping his groundskeeper. He’s currently being sued for the incident but it appears he’s not taking those allegations laying down.
According to a statement via Ross’ attorneys, the MMG rapper has filed a countersuit against his groundskeeper, Jonathan Zamudio, calling for the kidnapping and assault civil suit to be dropped.
“At its core, these trumped up allegations lack credible evidence and are an attempt at extorting money from Mr. Roberts—from the 911 call that doesn’t mention an assault or injuries, to the notion that Mr. Roberts kidnapped his accusers, when they were in fact trespassing on his property without permission,” says Ross’ lawyer. They also bring up a Zamudio taking photos with 50 Cent for Instagram, with 50 instigating about Ross needing to pay up. “The mere association between Mr. Roberts’ accusers and Mr. Curtis Jackson, speaks volumes to their lack of credibility and the likelihood of collusion,” he says.
The countersuit was filed on Wednesday, September 23rd with the State Court of Fayette County, State of Georgia. He is asking for all charges to be dismissed, and claims that his landscapers Jonathan Zamudio, Leonardo Caceres not only trespassed on his property by staying in his guest house without permission, but also left drug paraphernalia behind.
Ross’ legal team also provided audio of Zamudio’s 911 call three hours after the alleged incident, where he appeared to be calm and made no mention of a injuries or physical assault.
