Rozay Hires 24-Hour Armed Security For Protection After Drive-By Shooting.

Rick Ross is fighting fire with firepower … ’cause the rap mogul just hired 24-hour ARMED personal security to watch his back in the wake of Monday’s drive-by shooting. Ross aka Ricky Rozay was

already using armed bodyguards for protection at major events like concerts and public appearances but now he’s decided he wants a full-time security detail.

Ross was targeted in a drive-by shooting in Florida early Monday morning (on his bday) when a car pulled up next to his Rolls-Royce and opened fire. Ross lost control of the vehicle during the incident and crashed into an apartment building.

Sources close to Ross report that the rapper had been getting threats for a while but he wasn’t too concerned. But we’re told Ross considers the shooting to be an “eye-opener” and will do whatever it takes to keep himself safe.
