Hip-hop’s chessboard has witnessed yet another strategic move, and this time it’s Rick Ross, the undisputed big boss, making headlines with a $2 million offer that could potentially alter the narrative of rap history.
The origin of this power play traces back to 50 Cent’s call-out of Rick Ross over the 2013 track “U.O.E.N.O.,” suggesting that Rozay’s controversial lyrics should have had consequences on his lucrative brand deals. Ross, never one to shy away from a challenge, responded on Instagram, addressing 50 Cent as a “diabolical genius.”
However, Ross wasn’t satisfied with mere words. In a surprising twist, he presented a lucrative offer to purchase the catalogs of G-Unit members. Ross, with his impeccable business acumen, valued Young Buck’s catalog at $725,000 and speculated that Lloyd Banks’ catalog might fetch a similar sum. The proposition was clear-cut – $1.5 million for Tony Yayo, and an additional $500,000 for the masters of the iconic “Beg For Mercy.”
This move transcends the realm of hip-hop beef; it’s a calculated chess move by Ross, a business proposition to the diabolical genius himself. With a touch of humor, Ross even gave 50 Cent the option – a bank wire transfer or the glittering jewels on his pinky and wrist.
As the hip-hop community awaits 50 Cent’s response, one thing is certain – Rick Ross has made a strategic move that goes beyond the beats and rhymes, proving once again that in the game of chess, he is the ultimate boss.
