In a surprising turn of events, Rick Ross has announced that he has officially squashed his long-standing feud with fellow rapper 50 Cent. During a recent interview with Billboard, Ross expressed a newfound respect and willingness to collaborate with the hip-hop mogul, emphasizing the importance of business in their relationship.
“We realized to make it business,” Ross stated, highlighting a shift in perspective that has allowed the two artists to move past their differences. He expressed a desire to see 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, succeed in his endeavors. Ross encouraged Jackson to promote one of his business ventures by posting a picture on social media, specifically holding up a bottle of Bel-Air, a brand that Ross has been associated with. “Tell him to take the picture with the Bel-Air bottle and hold it up high,” Ross said, suggesting that this gesture could mark a new beginning in their relationship.
In addition to the Bel-Air promotion, Ross revealed that he would consider collaborating on a project if 50 Cent would post a photo of himself in front of Ross’s Wingstop location, while holding an order of lemon pepper wings. This lighthearted proposal illustrates a shift from animosity to camaraderie, potentially paving the way for future collaborations.
50 Cent has previously expressed interest in incorporating Rick Ross’s music into his upcoming Starz series, “Black Mafia Family.” The acknowledgment from Ross of this possibility further indicates a thawing of their once-contentious relationship. “If 50 executes on both [requests], I will go on my Instagram page to like the photos and will be open to clearing the record,” Ross added, hinting at the potential for a public reconciliation.
The hip-hop community has long been divided by the rivalry between these two artists, and their reconciliation could signal a new era in their respective careers. Both Ross and 50 Cent have moved beyond personal grievances, recognizing the value in collaboration and mutual support in the business of music.
As fans eagerly await the outcome of this newfound relationship, the question remains: Will Rick Ross and 50 Cent take their partnership to the next level with a collaborative track? Many in the industry believe that a collaboration could be a significant event, given their storied history and the impact they have on hip-hop culture.
With their recent interactions, it seems that the door is now open for a potential alliance, leaving fans hopeful for what’s to come. As Rick Ross aptly put it, “I would love to see the brother shine.” The future of Ross and 50 Cent’s relationship is one that the hip-hop community will be watching closely, as both artists continue to evolve and explore new opportunities in their careers.
