Rick Ross responds to personal attacks from 50 Cent
What started as a lyrical battle between Rick Ross and 50 Cent has now
become very personal. Yesterday, 50 Cent released a video with Tia
Kemp, the mother of Ross’ two-year-old son. In the video, Kemp calls
Ross a poor father who fails to provide for his family. After bashing
the father of her child, Kemp is then treated to a shopping spree
compliments of 50. Ross called into Hot 97’s Miss Info and ripped into
50 Cent about his relationship with Dr. Dre and Eminem. “The worst move
[Dre] could’ve done is be affiliated with such a monkey. [50 Cent] is a
parody of Hip-Hop. I’m speaking from the streets.”
