Rick Ross Improves Car Show Access for Wheelchair Users After Fan Lawsuit Sparks Major Changes

Rick Ross has promised big changes for his popular car show. This came after a disabled fan, Darris Straughter, filed a lawsuit. He claimed he couldn’t attend the 2024 event because there was no working shuttle bus for wheelchairs. On top of that, he didn’t get a refund for his ticket.

Now, the hip-hop mogul is stepping up. According to TMZ, Rick Ross has agreed to provide round-trip, wheelchair-accessible shuttle buses. These buses will bring fans to and from special areas made just for disabled guests. It’s a big win for fans with mobility needs.

Straughter’s lawyer, John Hoover, said, “Thanks to Darris and others, the next Rick Ross Car & Bike Show will be very accessible. Even golf carts will be provided for wheelchair users.”

He added: “The people being sued still say they did nothing wrong. But if everything was working fine, there would be nothing to fix.”

While the lawsuit continues, the next Rick Ross Car & Bike Show is set to happen on June 7 at his huge Promise Land estate in Fayetteville, Georgia. This will be the fourth year for the event. Fans can expect custom cars, live music, and a stronger focus on accessibility.

This move shows how public events need to consider all types of attendees. According to the ADA National Network, every public event in the U.S. must follow Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) rules. That includes having ramps, signs, restrooms, and parking that work for everyone.

While working on his car show, Rick Ross is also growing in other areas. Recently, he teamed up with celebrity dentist Dr. Mario Montoya to launch a dental office called Smiles by Mario Montoya in Sandy Springs, Atlanta.

Ross shared on Instagram, “We talked about this in Cali, Colombia three years ago. Now, we’ve opened our first U.S. office! Come get your billion-dollar smile.”

Dr. Montoya, known for working with artists like French Montana, T-Pain, and Rich the Kid, praised the journey from doctor-patient to business partners.

Veneers at the office start at $1,250, showing this is a premium smile makeover service. Fans interested in following Ross’ footsteps can learn more from the official website of Dr. Mario Montoya.

From legal issues to luxury smiles, Rick Ross continues to expand his empire while listening to fans’ concerns. For artists, creators, and brands, this is a lesson in turning feedback into growth.
