Looks like someone is trying to turn Live Fast Die Young into more than just a song for RICK ROSS!

Ricky Rozay crashed his Rolls into a building, in Ft. Lauderdale, attempting to dodge BULLETS!!!

After celebrating his birthday, at Liv, Rick and his girl left the club.  As they were driving down East Las Olas Boulevard, another car pulled up along side The Boss and started SHOOTING!

According to witnesses, the RAPID FIRE they heard — nine or ten shots at least — couldn’t have come from a hand gun.  Some described the sound as that of a MACHINE GUN, others speculate it was a rifle that discharged the rounds.

No one seems to think that Rick was a random target.

People who saw the crash say that both Rick, and his girl, seemed dazed after the crash and left on foot.  Some people say he was being chased.

Two businesses had their windows shot out but there were no bullet holes in the Rolls Royce.  This has led some, like 50 CENT, to believe that the entire incident was STAGED.

Just last month, Rick cancelled two shows in North Carolina reportedly after receiving GANG threats.  Rick denies that’s the reason he bailed on the shows.

So, did someone try to take out Mr. Maybach or…does The Black Bar Mitzvah need a little extra press?
