‘Freeway’ Ricky Ross Speaks On Rick Ross Shooting

freeway-rick-ross

In what really sounds like nothing more than pure promo, the legendary ‘Freeway’ Ricky Ross spoke on the recent happenings regarding the rapper using his namesake:

“I’m not surprised that it happened given recent ongoings, when someone doesn’t understand the street rules they get confused and incidents like this can take place,” he said. “I’m still dealing with ongoing litigation about something as basic as using my name and identity, that should have been dealt with properly a long time ago. No ill will is wished upon anyone, but when you tell these stories about the streets you have to be careful. We covered it in more depth in the Power of the Name Rick Ross piece.”

Spotted on The Grime Report:

A Squeezy has released what is one of the most relevant videos I have seen in a while with this mini rant Free The Brokeness #LifeOfABrokeG which see’s him talking nothing but the about some of the situations people are facing in reality vs the façade perpetuated by many of the artists in the UK scene who seem to think people can’t see through their fake image and as I have said many a time UK Rappers really need to stop thinking they are Rick Ross and Meek Mills especially if your still eating Morleys for dinner.

From MTV:

Monday was supposed to be a day of celebration, not only was it Rozay’s 37th birthday, Push also dropped his Wrath of Caine mixtape the same day. For the tape the two collaborated on “Millions” a boastful affair where the two MCs rhyme of the spoils of their hard work. The day however was marred by the unsettling news and Push immediately reached out to not only Ross but their mutual friend — a mixing engineer which they both work with.

“He was just like, ‘Yeah he’s just layin’ back.’ That was enough for me,” Pusha said of the word he got back concerning Ross’ psyche after the shooting.
