50 Cent found the one button guaranteed to set Rick Ross off. Police arrested the man accused of pistol-whipping Ross’ son, and 50 posted the suspect’s mugshot and said he is bonding him out.
“I got him he will be out tomorrow I’m sending @drewfindling. This is a big misunderstanding that can easily be resolved.”

William Roberts III, 21, is Ross’ son with Tia Kemp and a former Bethune-Cookman football player. He told Daytona Beach police he was standing with a woman near campus on October 11 when Don Roberts III, 20, no relation, walked up holding a gun, hit him in the head with it, and threatened to kill him. William picked Don out of a lineup. Don turned himself in on October 16, pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and police say the confrontation was over a woman Don used to date.
50 started with the old correctional officer jokes, asking why William called the police instead of his dad, then posted Don’s booking photo and the Findling promise. None of that is confirmed yet: Findling has not said he is on the case, the booking record listed no bond, and WKMG reported Tuesday that Don no longer appears on the Volusia County jail roster without establishing why he was removed.
“I don’t care who your daddy is, I’ll kill you right here.”

Tia Kemp fired back that 50 has no room to post about anybody’s child. He waved her off, told her she sounds tougher than her boy, and plugged his “Street Fighter” movie. Ross himself has not said a word publicly. A bond hearing is set for Wednesday, and whether Findling actually walks in will say more than any of these posts.
