On October 29, 2026, prosecutors in Miami Beach dismissed the felony battery‑by‑strangulation charge against rapper Rick Ross, leaving only a misdemeanor domestic‑violence battery charge pending.
The Miami‑Dade State Attorney’s Office indicated the felony count was removed because of insufficient evidence.
Ross had been arrested a month earlier after a woman he lived with alleged he hit her, and the state attorney subsequently filed paperwork to drop the felony charge.
