Birdman is continuing to add fire to the long beef between him and Rick Ross. The legendary boss man sat down with DJ Akademiks on his “Off The Record” podcast praising the rappers on his label Cash Money Records. He gave a special shoutout to Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne for becoming the worldwide superstars they are today. Birdman also praised Future, Yo Gotti, Juvenile and DJ Khaled, but had some other words for Rick Ross.
“Ross been sittin up under me forever,” he said. “ been stalkin my style; peepin my sauce.” The beef between Birdman and Ross has been ongoing for quite some time.
Birdman and Rick Ross Beef
The ongoing feud between Birdman and Ross started back in 2017. While Birdman and Wayne were in a feud at the time. Ross came to Weezy’s defense in the song “Idols Become Rivals.” Ross rapped “I pray you find the kindness in your heart for Wayne/His entire life, he gave you what there was to gain/I watched this whole debacle so I’m part to blame.” In an interview with Scottie Beam for BET Networks, Ross spoke about the track. He used the analogy of a student admiring someone but later seeing their true colors once that student gets to finally work with them.
Ross then spoke with Atlanta’s Hot 107.9, clarifying that the song was not a diss record but a “clean your face record.” The rapper also revealed that the track also defends DJ Khaled. Birdman allegedly had caused Khaled “pain” and “put him in a hole” at the time the two were working together.
Birdman responded to this in an interview with Complex in 2019, saying “So, when another n***a in another n***a business, to me, that’s a violation. That’s how I come up, simple. I ain’t ever been no man to speak down on no man in this music business, never did.”
Like Wayne and Khaled, whom both Birdman praise, we all can hope that one day Ross will eventually be praised by the boss man at some point down the line.
