At the end of the day, Rick Ross is a businessman, and he credits his mom for his success.
"I believe all my best financial advice came from my mother,” he told BET. "She’s the one who taught me and the reason today [why] I love to buy things I can touch. I love real estate, touching the buildings instead of putting money in the metaverse. I want to buy that address. They can make another car but they can’t make another address."
