Jazzma Kendrick Accuses Rick Ross of Physical Abuse on Instagram

Jazzma Kendrick placed her relationship with rapper Rick Ross into the public spotlight with a series of candid posts on her Instagram Stories. The 39-year-old content creator detailed the alleged abuse after a follower commented on her selfie, writing I’m seeing what Rick is seeing your so gorgeous, according to reporting from Complex. Kendrick answered the user bluntly by writing that the rapper saw a punching bag.

Following the initial exchange, Kendrick posted a photograph showing her swollen lip with the caption The day Rick busted my lip and the day I left. She followed up with another close-up image showing her lifting her upper lip to reveal a prominent wound. Across the images, Kendrick addressed her followers directly about domestic abuse.

I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know that a man that puts his hands on me, is a man that never loved me and never will.

Kendrick also offered a warning to others about relationships that appear stable on the surface. It’s always good until it isn’t. If a man hits you one time, he will do it again. Don’t give him the opportunity. Value your life and leave, she wrote, as noted by Pagesix. She later stated on her Instagram Stories that the alleged incident occurred about a month prior and that she had begun the healing process.

Rick Ross Remains Silent While Sharing Miami Life on Social Media

While the allegations drew widespread attention online, Rick Ross has not issued a public statement addressing the claims. Representatives for the rapper have also remained silent, and no formal legal action or police charges have been reported in connection with the statements made by Kendrick, as Aceshowbiz detailed.

Instead of addressing the controversy, the 50-year-old artist posted videos of himself enjoying a Miami Dolphins home game, having a drink poolside, and showing the dock and living room of his 15,000-square-foot Florida home on Star Island, according to Pagesix. The couple first went public with their romance in August 2025, experienced an initial breakup in September 2025, and later reconciled, eventually making their red carpet debut at the BET Awards in June 2026.

50 Cent and Other Public Figures React to the Allegations

The allegations quickly drew reactions across the entertainment industry, including a notable response from Rick Ross’ longtime rival, 50 Cent. Setting aside his usual online trolling, the rapper addressed the situation directly on social media, according to Bossip.

This punk put his hands on baby girl, he stressed that album didn’t sell. I’d laugh at him, but domestic violence is not a joke.
