Rapper Rick Ross has been arrested in Fayette County, Georgia, and is currently being held on charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery.
A law enforcement source tells TMZ that Ross' arrest on Wednesday stems from a dispute with a man working on one of his homes around two weeks ago. The source alleges that the assault charge is for a pistol-whipping, and the kidnapping charge is for Ross' alleged refusal to let the man leave the house.
