Rick Ross began his Instagram video message with his signature line, "It's the Biggest Boss in the game, Ricky Rozay," before adding:
"How many n***as screamed 'Free Lil Durk' at that Rolling Loud? How many? Alright, now. For y'all young hustlers, y'all got to learn how to do roofing. Y'all got to learn how to lay marble floors. You got to learn how to do the plumbing. This is a multiple million dollar game, multiple million dollar game."
He went on:
"I'm walking up on these real estate sites, I see very few brothers that's on the roofs, that's doing the plumbing, that's doing the drywall, that's doing the electricity. It's a lot of money in that. Once again, how many people said 'Free Lil Durk' at Rolling Loud? Exactly."
As for Lil Durk, the latest news we have is from DJ Akademiks, who broke the news that an album from him may be forthcoming.
Drake's coming soon, Durk's coming soon, and YB’s getting out of jail,"
the streamer and media personality penned at the time, though this remains to be confirmed.
Rick Ross' message serves as a powerful reminder for young hustlers to seek sustainable careers instead of quick money. His call to action, paired with Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles, highlights the real consequences of bad decisions. Whether his words will spark real change remains to be seen, but the conversation is certainly gaining momentum.
