While he didn't address negative backlash to his buffaloes roaming in a neighbor's yard, he thanked all those who brought the situation to light, as he didn't know they escaped.

Having a stray cat show up at your front porch is one thing, but a 2,000 pound buffalo? That's just an animal control frenzy waiting to happen. Rick Ross recently addressed reports that his pet buffaloes were intruding on a neighbor's yard, who did not take kindly to them. Moreover, she lives behind Ross' "Promise Land" property in Fayetteville, Georgia, and said that the animals roughed up her yard and pose a threat to her kids, who typically play outside. On his Instagram Story, the rapper thanked neighbors who alerted him of their escape. Also, he clarified that they don't harm humans, which is as directly as he addressed the specific neighbor that complained.

"Everybody that wanted a statement and a response for my bulls, my cows [and] a couple of buffaloes that got away in the community, this is my response," he expressed. "I always return stray animals. Make sure to always keep a collar on your animal. And mine don't have a collar 'cause you know it's mines. So when you see my buffalo, give it a carrot. Give it an apple. They're so kind and so peaceful. Thank everybody for watching. Thank everybody for making sure all my animals got back into the Promise Land...all my neighbors, Fayetteville, y'all the best, boss."

In another clip, he actually thanked TMZ for breaking the story and further showed appreciation to his neighbors. In addition, he clarified once again that his pets are just grazers, and not meat-eaters. Of course, he wouldn't be Rick Ross if he didn't promote one of his many business ventures. As such, the clips tag his Deacon whiskey and, in the exclusive clip where he thanks TMZ, he invites viewers to "have a drink on me."

Meanwhile, the Carol City MC recently linked up with Meek Mill, and they're apparently dropping new music soon. The two are frankly iconic collaborators at this point, if only for their classic "Ima Boss." However, there's always room for improvement, so hopefully they drop another bonafide banger sooner rather than later. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Rick Ross and his massive pets.
