A Rolls-Royce driven by South Florida rapper Rick Ross crashed into a building on Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale early Monday after being shot at more than 10 times from what neighbors said was a high-powered rifle.

With bullets whizzing by, Ross, whose real name is William L. Roberts II, tried to drive away and lost control of the car, according to Fort Lauderdale police. Riding along with him: his passenger, Shateria L. Moragne-el, 28, of Davie.

Ross, who also lives in Davie, had been celebrating his 37th birthday at the nearby Floridian diner on Las Olas. One of the bullets meant for the car pierced the front window of the iconic restaurant and reportedly landed in a cooler.
