Rick Ross has pledged to make his popular car show wheelchair accessible after he was sued by a disabled fan.
Rozay was hit with a lawsuit last year from Darris Straughter, a disabled man who bought tickets to the 2024 show but was unable to attend after the wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus failed to turn up. The event also refused to refund his ticket.
Responding to the suit, the MMG mogul has agreed to provide a round-trip wheelchair accessible shuttle bus service that will take ticketholders to designated disabled spaces, according to TMZ.
Straughter’s attorney John Hoover said of the outcome: “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.”
Straughter continues to pursue damages over the alleged incident.
Ross has yet to respond to the developments, but the next edition of his annual car and bike show will take place on June 7 at his sprawling “Promise Land” estate in Fayetteville, Georgia.
