Days after his arrest in Miami Beach, Rick Ross appeared in Paris, documenting a meal of rigatoni as his legal team contests domestic violence allegations.
The cameras were rolling, but the focus wasn’t on the legal storm waiting back in Miami. On Sunday, October 4, Rick Ross shared a video on Instagram capturing the arrival of a bowl of rigatoni. He captioned the post. “Bon appétit. ” tagging Bumbu and Belaire as the pasta was served alongside a spread of other dishes. For the artist born William Roberts II, it was the fulfillment of a specific craving voiced just days earlier.
Following his release from custody after a Thursday. October 1. arrest in Miami Beach. Florida. Ross had taken to Instagram Stories to publicly deny domestic violence accusations brought by his ex-girlfriend. Jazzma Kendrick. He had been defiant about his immediate plans. telling his followers. “I plan on having a bowl of rigatoni with heavy marinara Sunday. I repeat. Rigatoni. Heavy marinara.” By Saturday. October 3. he had already surfaced in Paris. France. sharing a photograph from the city to mark his arrival.
The public display of his dinner comes as the legal situation remains contentious. Kendrick has accused Ross of assault. claiming that over a month ago. he grabbed her by the ponytail. slammed her into a wall. hit her in the chest. and choked her during a jealous rage. She alleged that he had treated her like a “punching bag” during the encounter.
Ross and his legal team have maintained a firm stance against the allegations. Attorney Steve Sadow released a statement declaring his client innocent and confirming a plea of not guilty to the charges. The defense emphasized the timing of the accusations. noting that Kendrick did not file a police report until a month after the incident allegedly took place. Sadow requested that the public and fans allow the judicial process to run its course rather than prejudging the situation.
As the footage of his Parisian meal circulated, social media users offered a wide spectrum of reactions. While some fans engaged with the lighthearted nature of the food video—commenting on his excitement at the table or joking about the heavy marinara—others immediately connected the moment back to the serious allegations made by Kendrick. with some questioning the tone of his public activity during an active legal case.
