Amid troubles with his annual car show, Rick Ross says he's going to run for Mayor of Fayetteville.

Rick Ross has revealed that he intends to run for Mayor of Fayetteville after feuding with the city council over his car show. Despite his application for a permit to host the car show being denied, Ross still insists that the show will go on as planned.

“I love Fayetteville so much. Next year I’m running for mayor,” Ross said on his Instagram Story, Tuesday. “That’s right. The boss Rick Ross running for mayor of Fayetteville. I wanna know how many votes did it actually take to vote in the mayor of Fayetteville. I need to know that ‘cause we gon’ become that. We gon’ make that happen, and we gonna have a good time. We gon’ give some people opportunities, we gon’ give some people raises and, of course, we gon’ have to clean some people out.”
