NBA Ben10 & OG 3Three Defense Points To Rick Ross To Keep Rap Lyrics Out Of Houston Federal Case
A motion in limine was filed Oct. 15 in the Houston federal robbery case against NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three. My Mixtapez reports the defense wants rap lyrics kept out and uses Rick Ross's past as a correctional officer as its example that rap personas aren't real life. All charges ALLEGED.
NBA YoungBoy's crew is taking on the feds over rap lyrics, and Rick Ross got pulled into it.
On Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, a motion in limine was filed in the federal robbery case against NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three in Houston, according to the federal court docket (U.S. v. Jean-Pierre, Southern District of Texas, 4:26-cr-00584, Judge Drew B. Tipton). A motion in limine asks the judge to keep certain evidence away from the jury before trial.
My Mixtapez reports the defense wants the rappers' lyrics kept out, and that the filing uses Rick Ross as its example of a rapper whose street image doesn't match his real life. According to the report, a 102-page exhibit describes Ross as someone who "used to work as a prison guard, contradicting the persona Rick Ross constructed." Ross worked as a Florida correctional officer in the mid-1990s before his rap career, something he has acknowledged publicly. The argument: rappers create characters and tell stories, so their bars should not be treated as confessions.
Rick Ross is not part of this case and has not commented. TrapHop has not reviewed the filing itself; the details about the exhibit come from My Mixtapez.
The case comes out of the April 8 shooting at Confessions, a restaurant on Kirby Drive in Houston. Prosecutors accuse NBA Ben10 (Benjamin Fields), OG 3Three (Roderick Jean-Pierre) and others of taking part in a robbery attempt on Detroit rapper AllStar JR, who is accused of opening fire and leaving Ben10 paralyzed. All charges are ALLEGED. Nobody has been convicted.
Ben10 is still locked up after a judge denied his bid for release earlier this month. OG 3Three is out on a $200,000 bond after the feds failed to revoke it. The docket also shows a motion to continue filed Thursday and an order on that motion entered Friday, Oct. 16. The new trial date, if any, has not been made public. Trial had been set for November.
