Still living large! Rick Ross reveals his moobs as he takes to stage for his first time since being shot at

After a near death incident last month, Rick Ross is living large again.
Making his first public appearance since his Rolls-Royce was shot at in Ft. Lauderdale, the rapper took the stage at BET's Rip The Runway in New York City on Wednesday night at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
The 37-year-old showed off his tatted arms - and moobs - as he performed in a fitted vest and flashy red pants that hung below his bottom.

Showing his signature style, Rick accessorized with big gold bling, stunner shades, and fancy, red athletic kicks.
Though the bearded singer took a chance by joining the music roster, he's continuing to put his safety first.
Since almost being hit by a bullet last month, it's become known that the full-figured song artist is still being threatened, and he isn't ignoring the danger he's in.

'We've learned cops have been guarding Ross at The London Hotel for the last few days,' TMZ reported.
After allegedly being targeted by a dangerous gang following his birthday celebration in Florida, the 'Hold Me Back' singer is taking advantage of law enforcement services to protect himself.
So, the other performers needn't worry about being in the same company as Rick on Wednesday at the Manhattan soiree.

Included in that star-studded list was Kelly Rowland, who also co-hosted the event, Jaden Smith, and Willow Smith.
Well-known for his extensive acting career, this was Jaden's first time to actually debut his rapping skills.
And proud mum Jada Pinkett Smith was there to support her talented 14-year-old son on his big night.
