Overview
- Rick Ross released his 12th studio album Set In Stone and reports show roughly 17,000–19,000 equivalent units moved in the first week with a Billboard 200 placement in the high 30s to mid 40s.
- On his Tony Yayo & Uncle Murda podcast, Tony Yayo said Ross should 'find a new career' and bluntly declared his career 'over' while using the sales figures as evidence.
- Yayo compared Ross’s performance unfavorably to contemporaries such as Tory Lanez and Larry June and said past feuds, especially with Drake and tensions with 50 Cent, hurt Ross’s commercial reach.
- The podcast also included barbs at Memphis Bleek and a broader discussion about label signings and associations, showing talk-show hosts are shaping the decline narrative as much as sales numbers.
- Ross has not issued a widely reported rebuttal in the articles provided and the coverage has refocused public discussion on whether recent strategic choices and disputes have eroded his long-term legacy as the founder of Maybach Music.
