A few days ago, Rick Ross failed to perform at HOT 107.5 FM’s Summer Jamz 17 concert. According to the promoter and the program director of the station, Ross didn’t perform because he was in fear for his life after he was met with 100-150 goons outside the venue — Chene Park Amphitheater.

According to rumors, local rapper Trick Trick was behind the so called “goons” who put Ross in the “no fly zone” because he hasn’t paid homage to local people.

But in an interview with 99 Jamz, Ross denies that he was in fear for his life and says that he didn’t even reach the venue. Shutting down the rumors partially in a very hyper mode, Ross says some of his entourage reached the venue only to find the gates locked so they decided to return, resulting in a no show at the concert.

For the first time since the widely talked about incident that took place at this year’s Summer Jam Festival, Slowbucks sits down for an interview with none other than The Breakfast Club.

Slow talks to Envy, Charlamagne and Angela about the chain snatching incident and everything surrounding it. Defending himself in a strong way, Slow claims he’s still the same guy and that he’s not a snitch for launching an investigation against 50′s camp. And he also said that the picture Slow posted with 50′s son wasn’t the root of their issues — in fact, he doesn’t really know where it stemmed from.

Slow says, “If somebody can show me papers that I snitched on him. Or you having to go pay lawyers or you having to go to jail -I’ll sign my company over to you. I give you all my jewelry.” Interesting.

Whatever you believe, it’s important to hear both sides of the story, so hit the jump and listen to Slow’s first interview since the incident and give us your thoughts.
