Rick Ross Gang Death Threats: Gangster Disciples' 'Cut a Check' Video Goes Viral, Rapper Cancels Tour, Chicago Police Investigate [WATCH]

Following a recent video posted by Chicago's Gangster Disciples - where members of the infamous street gang warn musician Rick Ross to cut a check for GD found Larry Hoover pronto, or else - the "God Forgives I Don't" rapper ended up canceling the remaining dates on a U.S. tour with his Maybach Music Group. Although reps for Ross insist the upcoming concerts were cancelled due to "apparent lack of organization and communication on the part of the tour promoter," many reports allege that the popular MC was forced to terminate the tour because of the recent gang death threats. Reports also confirm that Chicago police are currently heading an investigation which will look into the shady YouTube video post.

Check out the video posted by members of GD based in Chicago, where they demand Ross to "cut a check" (FYI, this isn't the first Gangster Disciples group to threaten Ross... videos have also been posted by gang associates in Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and other states as well):

While Ross insists he's not afraid of the Gangster Disciples, the police are taking the viral video pretty seriously - an investigation is currently underway to determine if the "threats" made in the short video are indeed legitimate. But Ross still swears that the remaining dates on the final leg of his U.S. tour were not cancelled because of the GD video - the rapper recently told the Miami radio station WEDR, "Ricky Ross is a boss. You can't cancel a Ricky Ross show without Ricky Ross's permission."

The canceled tour kicked off with two cancellations in North Carolina, followed by the final shows cancelled for Sunday (Dec. 9) in Nashville, Wednesday (Dec. 12) in Memphis, Thursday (Dec. 13) in Houston, Saturday (Dec. 15) in Detroit, and finally Sunday (Dec. 16) in New York.

Live Nation has yet to comment about the "lack of organization on the part of the tour promoter" allegation.

Ross recently told AllHipHop.com:

"I want to apologize to all of my fans who I missed performing for due to the cancellations and want to let them know that I will get back to their cities. I enjoyed my experience with my little bros Wale and Meek Mill, and I'm ready to get back in the studio to make good music."
