Over the weekend, the MMG boss took a trip to Africa, and he was feeling the vibes from the continent so much that he decided to help out in a major way. For starters, he shouted out several African artists since he felt his peers weren\u2019t doing enough to help their brothers and sisters in the motherland.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just woke up here on Easter and I just wanted to share love and just want to rep,\u201d Ross said from his hotel room. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s not enough American artists shedding light on Africa, supporting African artists, so what I wanted to do was just wake up and I\u2019ma go out in the city today. I\u2019ma go out in the slums, I\u2019ma go places that the police don\u2019t even want to go and I\u2019ma just show love.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cI want to start by showing love to everybody that\u2019s in my family. Everybody that\u2019s been repping Rick Ross, MMG, Bel-Aire, Bumbu, McQueen, Villon, all the real brand ambassadors, I want to shout some of y\u2019all out. I\u2019ma start with Hamisa, Valery Ayena, Stanley Enow, Blanche Bailly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ross also shouted other African artists such as Da Les, Yanga, Kwesta, Priddy Ugly and more in a separate video. He then took it upon himself to announce he would be signing two artists from Africa to join his crew over at MMG.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter being in Nigeria the other night, I saw so much talent and so many fly artists and dope performers that it\u2019s official,\u201d Ross said. \u201cMaybach Music Africa, Rick Ross will be signing two artists. Better believe it from parts of Africa, so let\u2019s stay in touch, let\u2019s build.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Richer Than I Ever Been rapper kept his promise and went out into the streets of Angola to be amongst the townspeople who were ecstatic to see Ross in their presence. He walked through several homes while taking pictures with people and giving out hugs to those looking to be next to the larger-than-life rap star.<\/p>\n
Killer Mike, E-40, Jim Jones, The Rock, Kevin Hart and more took to Ross\u2019 comment section to salute the boss for going to Angola and seeing the people while also kicking off a small humanitarian effort by giving out money.<\/p>\n
Rick Ross has some business to attend to when he returns stateside. In May, Rozay will be hosting his first annual car show, and he has big plans in store for it, especially when he partnered up with a big-name brand that\u2019s throwing him a hefty $100,000 bag to endorse the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just posted the flyer yesterday and a huge brand done already offered me six figures,\u201d he said in a video posted in February. \u201cThey offered me a $100[K]. It wasn\u2019t much, but it was just the thought. Instead of it saying \u2018Rick Ross 1st Annual Car Show\u2019 \u2014 I don\u2019t want to reveal the company, but let\u2019s say for instance it was Wingstop \u2014 it would say \u2018Wingstop 1st Annual [Car Show].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
