She took to Instagram to levy the allegations and show alleged proof.
“[Rick Ross] saw a punching bag. The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left,” she wrote, adding more pictures to support her claims. “I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will. It’s always good until it isn’t. If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave.”
They dated for over a year, but recently split in June.
This morning, Ross was arrested for battery and strangulation.
According to TMZ, Ross surrendered to police, after a former girlfriend accused him of hitting her. The woman claims Ross took issue with a photo she was tagged in on social media. Ross allegedly struck the woman, choked her, and slammed her into a wall, continuing to do so every time she denied being in a secret relationship with another man.
The victim’s identity is unknown, but the account given is consistent with Kendrick’s allegations.

Rick Ross Lawsuit
Ross is also facing a lawsuit concerning no showing concerts planned in North Carolina.
A report from Courthouse News says Omega14 Incorporated filed a lawsuit against Rick Ross, Maybach Music Group, and his touring company for allegedly canceling the final stops of the Port of Miami 20th Anniversary Tour last second.
Rozay was booked for Greensboro and Charlotte, North Carolina, slotted for at least one hour of performance time.
Omega14 alleges Maybach Music Group manager Tawanda Roberts told them at 1 p.m. on the day of the Greensboro concert that he “refused to perform” that show and the one in Charlotte the following day. They also state that per the agreement, the only way Ross could legally call off the show was due to “serious injury or death.” Omega is seeking reimbursement for the expenses attached to the show.
