Jazzma Kendrick has accused Rick Ross of physical abuse, sharing photos of her injuries on Instagram Stories over the weekend.
The 39-year-old content creator posted a screenshot of a direct message from a follower who wrote, “I’m seeing what Rick is seeing your [sic] so gorgeous,” to which Kendrick replied bluntly, “He saw a punching bag.”
Kendrick followed that exchange with a close-up photograph of her face, which she said was taken “the day Rick busted my lip and the day I left.” In a subsequent image, she lifted her upper lip to expose a bloody wound. She did not specify when or where the alleged assault took place.
The influencer, 39, expanded on her allegations in additional posts. “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,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. She continued, “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.”
Ross, 50, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts II, has not publicly responded to Kendrick’s claims. Instead, the “Aston Martin Music” rapper posted videos from a Miami Dolphins home game and footage of himself drinking poolside. On Monday, he shared clips of the dock, his pool and his living room at his 15,000-square-foot Star Island estate in Florida.
The couple first went public with their relationship in August 2025. Kendrick announced their breakup the following month via Instagram, but they had reconciled by June and made their red carpet debut at the 2026 BET Awards that month. The current status of their relationship and when they separated again remains unclear.
Ross, the “Hustlin'” emcee, is father to five children — daughters Toie and Berkeley and sons William, Billion and Bliss — with three different women.
Kendrick’s decision to share her story on Instagram Stories, where posts disappear after 24 hours, came without any indication of whether she has pursued legal action against the rapper.
Ross is scheduled to perform at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami.
