Rick Ross Rejects Claim That His Friendship With Drake Was Fake

Continuing to perform their songs, Ross said he will celebrate their shared catalog while declining to pursue a reunion during promotion for his new album.

Overview

  • Ross denied on The Joe Budden Podcast that his past camaraderie with Drake was a facade and said the relationship was real before it ‘‘went left.’
  • He vowed to keep performing and celebrating songs he made with Drake and said the music is part of his legacy that he will not erase.
  • Ross said he is not seeking reconciliation now and told fans to move on rather than expect new collaborations.
  • The comments came during a Patreon episode and coincided with Ross releasing his 12th album, Set in Stone, which dropped on July 17 as he tours the Port of Miami 20th Anniversary show.
  • Coverage traces the split back to Ross’s allegation that Drake sent French Montana a cease and desist during the Kendrick Lamar dispute, a point reporters say helped turn a professional rift into public disses and fan speculation about authenticity.
