Rick Ross recently talked to MTV about the Supreme Team name change. The super-group, who recently added Nicki Minaj and Fabolous to their line-up of Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Red Cafe, DJ Khaled and the Bawse himself, recently announced their name would now be the Dream Team because of another group – coincidentally represented by Murder Inc.’s Irv Gotti – already using the name. Ross said that the name change was the proper thing to do and sends his blessings to Gotti’s clique.
“Shout out to Irv Gotti and their whole movement, they’ve been repping the Supreme Team for a minute,” Ross said. “We were caught up in the moment; it just fit the situation so good. We kinda just did our crew thing and ran with it. [The name] got hot in the streets. I think it was only right, us being entrepreneurs coming from the same place, representing the same game, being brothers.”
He also spoke on the new name the Dream Team, which comes from the Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Patrick Ewing and Charles Barkley helmed gold medal winning 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball team. Ross says that he feels the new name is even more appropriate for the group.
“I felt like the ‘Dream Team’ was even more appropriate,” he noted. “I felt that was the greatest team ever put together. They assembled the greatest players from each market on the same team and they went and took on the world. They conquered the world! Shout out to the Dream Team and the Supreme Team.”
