Rick Ross shows off money he’s stashed in his mansion
Rick Ross built his career from boasting about money. As a result, Ross has made a lot of money. After all, people will create whatever they talk about. However, Rick Ross’ constant money talk hasn’t impressed everyone. In fact, Gillie Da Kid called him out over his constant wealth boasting. He told Ross money can’t make a lame un-lame. Conversely, none of this stopped Rick Ross from continuing to show his money off. Recently, he shared a video where he had money stacked up on his bookshelves.
Rick Ross is one of the most-innovative rappers in history. He purchased Evander Holyfield’s Georgia estate, back in 2014. Ever since, he’s found creative ways to turn a profit from the 400+ acre estate. As a result, his longtime rival, 50 Cent, has said he can’t afford it. Things such as the car show are things Ross says he does to pay his electrical and utilities bill for the mansion and the property. Recently, Ross offered an olive branch to 50 to get involved in his film projects. As a result, 50 came with more jokes.
How Rick Ross Got Rich
Rick Ross overcame incredible odds in order to become a star, in the first place. Originally, he rose to fame as a member of Slip-N-Slide Records. Automatically, this placed him behind Trick Daddy and Trina, the stars of the label. However, unlike his label-mates, Ross’ deal was via Def Jam. Meanwhile, the other SNS artists were signed via Atlantic. As a result, Rick Ross had close relationships with Jay-Z, among other execs. This opened the door for him to establish his own Maybach Music label.
Rick Ross eventually left Slip-N-Slide Records. During that time, he took 50 Cent on. In an unexpected turn of events, Ross came out the winner of that beef. While that’s debatable, Ross’ popularity grew, as 50’s declined. However, with 50 Cent reinventing himself in the world of television and film, a greater debate has formed. Like 50, Rick Ross no longer drops chart-topping songs and albums. However, he also boasts of having very successful investments. Wingstop is among them.
Rick Ross’ Lavish Lifestyle and Rap Persona
Rick Ross often talks about money, as it’s a part of the lifestyle he created. In the early 2010s, Ross was credited for bringing popularity back to Mafioso rap. Prior to the 2010s, this wave had significantly lost popularity in the mid-1990s in hip hop. However, Rick Ross brought it back, and this gave birth to a new generation of Mafioso raps. Additionally, Ross lives like the personas he takes on in his music. Obviously, this is without him actually being involved in such activities.
Rick Ross recently reignited the 50 Cent beef. He offered an olive branch and publicly called 50 Cent out for speaking with some of his people. Ross claims 50 reached out to some of his more high powered friends about getting involved in his film studio. As a result, Rick Ross said he’d give 50 the opportunity to sit down and talk to him. Because of the potential of the film studio, Ross said he’d overlook their prior issues to talk. After that, 50 responded with a Charlie Murphy video laughing at Ross.
Rick Ross vs. 50 Cent and The Mansion
Rick Ross responds to the latest taunts from 50 Cent by showing his mansion off. Ross has boasted, for years, that his net worth is over $150 million. As a result, when Udonis Haslem interviewed him, Ross spoke about potentially buying the Miami Heat. Now, he’s proving he has a decent amount of money. As he welcomes in a new week, Ross showed off the money he has piled in his library. Instead of books, the shelves are filled with piles of cash. Likely, this is a response to 50 laughing at him.
