Ross paid his bond, pulling $1 million equity from boxer Evander Holyfield’s former estate he bought last year that’s valued at more than $5 million. He got the remainder from a $500,000 corporate surety bond from a bond bailsman and threw in $500,000 cash. 

Ross’ attorney said he would forfeit the entire Holyfield mansion, if the rapper does anything to obstruct justice or intimidate any witness. 

Ross is accused of kidnapping and pistol whipping a grounds keeper at his property. He was arrested on June 24 and taken to the Fayette County Jail, where was held until Thursday’s release.

Ross also agreed to 24-hour electronic monitoring, GPS location monitoring that would keep track of him at all times.
