Rick Ross is facing backlash over this year's car show.

Rick Ross is facing backlash on social media following his recent car show, which fans claim was unorganized and in turn, are requesting refunds. When he promoted the event on Instagram, on Saturday, users flooded the comments sections with complaints about their experience.

"Y’all need to refund me my money for running out of wristbands and shutting down the shuttles after waiting in line for 3+ hours… idk what kind of operation yall were running here but about 800 ppl got scammed just at orange parking lot," one top comment reads. Another user wrote: "He had kids running the shuttles at the orange location, there were almost 800 people that did not get in and lost their money. Grown men pushing women and children, it was a complete circus."
