After canceling two shows in North Carolina last week, RICK ROSS went ahead and scrapped the rest of his tour. In all, that's seven shows, which were supposed to run up through this Sunday.

Rick's camp says the remaining dates were canceled due to, quote, "An apparent lack of organization and communication on the part of the tour promoter."

But there's still a lot of talk about how he may be laying low after getting online DEATH THREATS from a group called the Gangster Disciples. Rick has been active on Twitter, but hasn't commented on those rumors.
