Rick Ross believes Internet chatter spawned by earlier photos of him as a correctional officer [click to read] can only help him. While speaking exclusively with LowKey of BET and Youheardthatnew.com, Ross showed no ill effects from last year’s small cyber-controversy.
“I think the talk makes my story more compelling because people are now looking into my life and realizing, it’s much deeper than rap,”Ross said. Perhaps referring to an earlier confrontation with DJ Vlad [click to read], Ross shrugged off any questioning of his background.
“I’ll walk in a room full of any of these niggas that ya’ll feel are tough and it is what it is,”Ross added. “I breathe smooth and I’m not going to have any problems, I’m telling you that right now. That internet stuff, when that shit comes to life is when the boss enters the room. I’m about business and that’s what I’m here to promote. Have I seen 50 Keys? Of course I have, I been getting money, that’s not even a question and I don’t think anyone has ever doubted that. So, that’s why my music is going to remain relevant and I feel I’m only going to get bigger and better because the women love me.”
