Rick Ross just got some good news in his Miami domestic violence case. The most serious charge against him is gone.

Prosecutors decided not to move forward with the felony count that accused the rapper of battery by strangulation, according to reports. New court filings say they did not have enough evidence to back it up.

Two smaller charges remain

The case is not over for Ross. In place of the felony, prosecutors filed a pair of misdemeanors. One is for simple battery and the other is for battery tied to domestic violence.

Before this change, Ross had entered a not guilty plea to the felony along with a misdemeanor battery count.

How the case began

The trouble started a few weeks ago when a woman he used to date contacted police. She told officers Ross hit her and choked her during an argument. She also claimed he pulled her by the ponytail before pushing her hard into a wall.

Ross later surrendered to authorities. He was booked on the two battery counts at the time.

What comes next

With the felony off the table, the rapper now faces a much lighter set of accusations as the case moves ahead in Miami. Both misdemeanor counts are still pending.
