Rapper Rick Ross has been accused of physical abuse by his former girlfriend, model and digital content creator Jazzma Kendrick. Kendrick shared the allegations on social media and posted photographs that she said showed injuries she suffered during their relationship.
Kendrick, 39, spoke about the alleged incident through a series of Instagram Stories on September 26. She claimed that Ross, 50, injured her lip and said the incident was one of the reasons she decided to leave the relationship.
The model initially responded to a message from an Instagram user who complimented her appearance and referred to Ross's interest in her. Kendrick replied by describing a very different experience, alleging that she had been physically assaulted.
She later shared a photograph showing a swollen lip, captioning it as the day Ross allegedly injured her and the day she left the relationship. In another post, she displayed an injury inside her upper lip while discussing what she described as mistreatment.
Kendrick also warned others against remaining in relationships where physical violence occurs. She said that if a partner hits someone once, there is a risk of repeated violence and urged people facing abuse to prioritize their safety.
The allegations have not been independently established in the information provided, and Ross's response to Kendrick's claims was not included in the report.
50 Cent reacts to allegations
The allegations also drew a reaction from rapper 50 Cent. In a post on X on September 27, he criticized Ross and said that domestic violence should not be treated as a joke.
His comments came after Kendrick's social media posts detailing her allegations against Ross.
Ross and Kendrick's relationship
Ross and Kendrick have been publicly linked since at least August 2025, when they were seen together at an event in Florida connected to the launch of RR22, Ross's luxury accessories line.
Their relationship was reportedly on and off. Kendrick publicly announced a separation from Ross in September 2025, according to Complex.
The pair later resumed their relationship and appeared together publicly again. They made their first red-carpet appearance as a couple at the BET Awards in June 2026 and were subsequently seen together on several occasions.
Their most recent reported public appearance together was in August.
Kendrick's latest allegations have now brought renewed attention to their past relationship. She has publicly described the alleged assault and shared photographs that she says document her injuries, while no detailed response from Ross was included in the report.
As the claims circulate online, the allegations remain allegations unless established through further evidence or legal proceedings.
