‘I Only Rap Beef with People with More Money Than Me’: Rick Ross Talks Rap Beefs, Backhandedly Claims He and 50 Cent Have Sorted Everything Out
Rappers 50 Cent and Rick Ross haven’t had the best history when it comes to their friendship. It all started in 2008, when the owner of Wing Stop alleged that the “Power” host had given him the wrong look when they were attending the 2008 BET Awards. Over the years, the two have traded sly remarks, but Ross now says they have patched things up. However, the Miami native said that he and the “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” emcee had settled their rivalry during a recent visit on the “Full Send Podcast” with co-hosts Kyle Forgeard and Bob Menery. 50 Cent was told to “don’t call me out no more” by the presenters.
Ross remarked, “Rozay called him out, OK, and I made sure he understood how Rozay got down, and after that, it was clear,” before reportedly getting pushback from Menery, who asserted that Fif was still making fun of the 46-year-old. After placing his Jordan sneakers on the table, the rapper of “Gold Roses” hinted that he hasn’t had a problem with anyone in his “15 years in the game.”
William Leonard Roberts II, better known by his true name, Ross, claimed to have changed his ways and stopped picking fights with other members of his business. Near the 22:28 mark, he said, “You know, I only rap beef with people with more money than me, and I guess that’s why I never rap beef.” Considering their feud from the previous year, one may think the emcee was still poking barbs at Fif. In an interview with GQ, Ross said that the rapper from New York only received $250,000 from his Starz television series “BMF,” which is based on the actual Black Mafia Family drug trafficking group.
“I could ignore [my problems with 50]. I know he might have earned a quarter of a million dollars for the entire campaign. He told the newspaper, “I’m glad he made that quarter.” Ross said to the reporter interviewing him, “You know that’s what he made,” as the reporter laughed. Why are you laughing so loudly? Be sure to provide each of these details. If you remove that, you’ll never be allowed to interview me again. Hold onto it. However, let’s face it—I know he made $250,000 for the entire season, which is good. Inform him that I congratulated him.
