Everything about Rick Ross - a popular hip-hop artist: from biography to creativity.
Rick Ross is a renowned hip-hop performer and creator of the Maybach Music label. His path was not easy, like most of the stars of this genre, but thanks to the perseverance of the musician, we can enjoy the fruits of his work right now.
Education
Rick Ross graduated from Carol City High School where he excelled in American football and earned a scholarship to Albany State University.
Work
For a long time, Ross worked as a prison guard in Miami. When the public found out about it, Rick got a funny nickname "Officer Ricky", which stuck to him for many years.
Musical career
Rick Ross became interested in rap in the 1990s. It was just a hobby and no one could have imagined that music would become an integral part of Rick's life.
The first album "Port of Miami" was released in 2006 and immediately entered the top lines of the Billboard 200 charts.
In 2008, Rick Ross released another album called "Trilla", which proved to be no less popular than "Port of Miami".
The third album was released in 2009 and was named "Deeper Than Rap". It turned out to be less interesting for the public, but it cannot be called a failure either.
Personal life
Religion
Rick Ross has claimed to be a Christian many times and prays before every public appearance.
A family
Ross is known to have a wife and four children.
Relationships with other performers
Despite his huge contribution to rap culture, many people know that Rick Ross is a rather conflicted person, and therefore communication with him often ended in clashes and public quarrels.
In 2009, Ross publicly accused 50 cent, mentioning him in one of his songs. 50 cent did not disregard this and ridiculed Rick with the help of a diss track (a song that is used as an opponent's attack presses on the enemy's most sore spots).
The conflicts did not end there. In one of his videos, Rick Ross buried a character who looked horribly like 50 cent.
In 2012, insults were not limited to, and Ross got into a fight with Young Jeezy.
Health
Rick had seizures quite often, which was even mentioned in one of the songs. He fainted several times and was taken to the hospital.
Ross also had a heart attack in 2018. The musician was in intensive care, but after several days of treatment he returned to normal life.
In 2013, there was an attempt on the life of Rick Ross. His car was fired upon, but the musician was able to escape the pursuit, even though the car was damaged.
Ross's last album "Rather You Than Me" was released in 2017 and is unlikely to be the last, because many listeners are waiting for new songs.
