Rick Ross’ son was pistol-whipped in Florida just weeks after his rapper dad was arrested on domestic violence charges, according to police.
William Roberts III, a football player at Bethune-Cookman University, was talking to a woman on the street in Daytona Beach around 9:40 p.m. on Oct. 11 when someone pulled up in a car, got out with a gun and shouted at Roberts, referencing his famous dad.
“I don’t car who your daddy is, I’ll 𝘬iᩚll you right here,” the suspect yelled, according to an arrest report.

The rapper’s son later told police he believed that the suspect — identified by police as Don Roberts, 20 — had previously dated the woman he had been speaking to.
Roberts III reported the incident to police and pointed out the alleged assailant in a photo lineup, cops said.
