Disabled Man Sues Rapper Rick Ross Over Inaccessible Car Show

A disabled man has filed a lawsuit against rapper Rick Ross, alleging that his popular Car & Bike Show failed to accommodate attendees with disabilities.

The plaintiff, Darris Straughter, claims he was excited to attend the car show, which was marketed as a dream event for automobile enthusiasts. However, Straughter’s experience turned sour when the promised wheelchair-accessible shuttle bus never arrived, leaving him stranded in the parking lot for hours.

According to the lawsuit, Straughter went to significant lengths to attend the event, including selling his own car to cover the costs of travel, lodging, and a ticket. He also alleges that he contacted the event organizers two weeks in advance to request reasonable accommodations for his wheelchair, and was assured that a shuttle would be available. Despite these assurances, Straughter says the shuttle never materialized, forcing him to give away his ticket and return to his hotel in frustration.

Adding to his grievances, Straughter claims that event organizers had promised refunds to anyone who couldn’t get into the event, but he never received any follow-up or compensation.

Straughter, represented by attorney John Hoover Esq., is now suing Rick Ross for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The lawsuit seeks damages as well as a court order mandating that future car shows provide proper disabled access.
