Rick Ross has canceled two shows in North Carolina this weekend . . . after getting online death .

Rick has had an ongoing beef with a group called the Gangster Disciples.  They’re upset because he “dishonored” their leader in a rap lyric . . . and they believe he’s been using their gang symbols, including the Star of David, in a disrespectful way.

Back in October, the “Georgia chapter” of the group sent out a video directed at Rick’s label, trying to scare some money out of them.

They said, quote, “We pressing up on you . . . we ain’t going to release this pressure on you until you release this check . . . nothing personal, but tell your boss man he got to get that check ’cause y’all in trouble.”

Rick hasn’t commented.
