Rick Ross travelled to Paris for a luxury dining experience just days after his arrest on domestic violence-related charges in Miami.
The rapper, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II, shared an Instagram carousel documenting his visit to César Paris on Monday, 5 October.
Footage showed Ross arriving at the French restaurant as his music played through the speakers. A host promised to serve him “the best rigatoni in town”.

Ross responded with one request: “Heavy marinara.”
The comment referred to the unusual statement he gave reporters immediately after being released from custody.
Rick Ross followed through on pasta promise
Ross was arrested on 1 October and charged with felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery.
After posting bond, he told waiting reporters that he was innocent and planned to travel to Dubai and Paris before enjoying a particular pasta dish.
“I’ll be in Dubai tomorrow, Paris Saturday, and I plan on having a bowl of rigatoni with heavy marinara Sunday,” he said.
“I repeat: rigatoni, heavy marinara.”
His visit to César Paris showed the rapper following through on that promise, although his meal appeared to take place on Monday rather than Sunday.
Domestic violence allegations
The charges arise from an alleged incident at Ross’s Miami Beach home on 28 August.
According to a police affidavit, a woman claimed the rapper became angry after seeing an Instagram photograph in which she had been tagged.
She alleged that Ross repeatedly struck her, choked her until she could not breathe, grabbed her by her ponytail and slammed her against a wall.
Police said the woman provided investigators with a sworn statement and timestamped photographs of her alleged injuries.
The allegations have been publicly linked to Ross’s former girlfriend, Jazzma Kendrick, who previously posted photographs showing an injured lip and accused the rapper of physically assaulting her.
Ross denies allegations
Ross has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to both charges.
“I am totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me,” he told reporters after leaving jail.
His lawyers, Steve Sadow and Bradley Horenstein, said he was being “wrongfully accused” by a former girlfriend whose motivations were unclear.
They also highlighted that the alleged incident was not reported to police until approximately a month later.
A judge ordered Ross to stay away from his accuser while the case proceeds. He was released after posting bond and waived his appearance at a subsequent pre-trial hearing.
The allegations have not been proven in court, and Ross remains presumed innocent unless convicted.
Ross and Kendrick were publicly linked from August 2025. After reportedly separating, they appeared to reconcile and attended the BET Awards together in June 2026.
