Rick Ross Explains Diddy Manager Move

[vodpod id=Video.3516566&w=425&h=350&fv=configParams%3Dvid%253D511038%2526uri%253Dmgid%253Auma%253Avideo%253Amtv.com%253A511038]

On the set of “Super High”, Rick Ross explains to 1515 the reasoning behind hiring Diddy as his manager and what he’s got planned next.

“I expressed my interest in developing and designing my own clothing label,” Ricky Rosé said. “I expressed interest in branching off into liquor endorsements, book deals. I’ve yet to headline my own major tour yet, which I’ve never had a problem with, because I love the intimacy of clubs. I love when I can run in the club with 2,000 people in there, and I can look the majority of them in the eye and make sure they feel Rick Ross and understand what Rick Ross brings to the game. But most definitely, these are the new things we’re bringing to the table, and these are things I haven’t expressed a lot of interest into in the past. It’s looking very, very positive.”

    This is an excellent move for him. (and also nikki minaj)

    Diddy is going to make Nikki a huge star. He’s going to take her gimmick and sell it like shit. She has a good team behind her ( I think she is absolute garbage by the way)

    As far as Ross goes, he’s now going to get that “hollywood” appeal and crossover.

    Good business move for both.

  2. MiloD says:

    diddy aint make no one a star since mase lets be honest…

    the clothing game is done….
    diddy got ciroc seems do be doing fine i see it at every liquor store but that about it….
    whats the book gonnna be about you being a C.O.

    yo yn mad props on the black out

  3. Oj Da Cornball says:

    lil too late for Rick Ross, dont ya think

  4. Nina says:

    Diddy is barely a star himself these days. A decade-plus ago this would have been a great move gor both artists. Today, puff has a defunct label, an album he can’t get released and artists he can’t seem to develop.

    Ross will be ok I think, he’s developed a following and has released albums. Nicki should be nervous.

  5. Jordy says:

    is it just me or is this nigga tryin do everything 50 Cennt, do? I know who his biggest inspiration is…

  6. CP3 says:

    @Jordy

    LOL!!!!! Tia said he was wearing G-Unit shoes back in 2004 and wanting to be down with Tha Unit. This nigga is a clown. He can’t headline a tour because he doesn’t have a catalog of hits. 50 had more hits on Curtis (worst album) than this nigga has had his entire career.

  7. jged says:

    lets be honest diddy a manager? if he could do it himself,he would not net need Christ lightly as his manager, people wake up.

    does “The Teflon Don” have a release date yet?

  10. Rhyme says:

    I like this guy when he speaks sense. Why cant he keep it real all the time?

  11. amazinace says:

    HE WILL NEVER ROCK A CROWD OVER 5000 BEING THE HEADLINE, CAUSE YOU CAN’T SING TO HIS SONGS. CONCERTS ARE FOR YOUR COMMERCIAL SONGS, YOU MIGHT CAN THROW IN SOME OF YOUR FAN FAVS BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE SONG THAT THEY CAN SONG A FEEL GOOD ABOUT.

    ………NOW THE HATE/TRUTH:

    NOBODY WANNA GO PAY AND SEE YOUR FAT ASS RAPPIN THOSE WACK ASS SONGS WITH HOT BEATS AND CORNY MAKE BELIVE RHYMES WITH GUNPLAY BEING THE HYPE MAN.

    I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ON 50’S DICK ANYWAY EVERYTHING YOU SAID YOU WANNA DO MY NIGGA FIF DONE DID NIGGA. YOU TRY TO CLOWN THE NIGGA YOU WANNA BE. SMH

    DIDDY BOUT TO BE ON THAT J JERKIN SHIT AGIAN! GET EM PUFF

    DO YOUR HOMEWORK HIP-HOPERS!!!!!!!!

    ….AND OH YEAH I JUST LEFT DADE COUNTY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE DUDE DOWN THERE AT LEAST? I MET SOME REAL STREET NIGGAZ WITH MY FAMILY WHILE I WAS THERE FOR A WEDDING I DONT EVEN WANNA REPEAT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU THAT SHIT WAS HORRIBLE. NOBODY SHOULD GET PLAYED IN THEIR OWN STOMPING GROUND. AND I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WONT READ THIS BUT I DONT CARE, IM ON MY Y.N. SHIT RIGHT NOW. HA!!!!!!!!!!

    Ross won, his brand keeps growing, he keeps dropping heat, and he has lames hating on him on blogs, life must be greattttt

  14. BlacketyBlackBlak says:

    5 years ago I saw a picture of this nucca Ross with his fat ass shirt off in XXL. This fool had pictures of money tatted on his bitch tits. So, what kind of Black Man gets pictures of slave owners tattooed on his body in the 21st century? A white man’s nigger foe sho. Diddy as your manager?, lol. I can’t stop laughing at that shit. I can see if you were some broke no-name, no-deal, never made a record before fool signing a contract in blood with Satan to get rich quick. But somebody that’s been in the game for a minute should know better. Diddy been in the game since at least 93. Name one fool still alive that he has had contact with still in the game? Mary J. stopped fucking with that nucca back in 97′. I’m glad he’s managing Minaj though. Now I’m sure we won’t be seeing her anymore 3-5 years from now. Ass can be replaced with another new bish in the industry (as usual). Having no-talent last forever.

  15. Yo, your an idiot says:

    Won what? This is the most dillusional rapper in the game, he will flop,. And what brand is growing? His rap group? There all a bunch of coke addicited fools that need to be brought into rehab, bunch of no talent mother fuckers. Ross is a style biter nothing more.

  16. DJ HOOK says:

    Ross won? 50 don’t need Diddy’s help. He’s only big enough to perform in small clubs. I clicked on this because I haven’t heard anything good from him after 50 destroyed his career. He keep making Mayback music but 50 ain’t playing that shit in his Mayback. Niggas on the street don’t have a Mayback. So who’s the Mayback music for? 50 cent? Cause i don’t believe the C.O. Have one.

  17. SCOTT LAROCK says:

    @dj hook ross did win the music part of the battle 50 cent had those stupid gimmick’s like pimpin curly which was so retarted and made him look stupid and i lost respect for him after that..lloyd banks had the hot diss song not 50 cent.ross won the battle and im not a fan of his i was a 50 cent fan but fiffty went and pulled a jarule.lloyd banks is on fire right now and he is getting more shine then fiffty im glad ross and lloyd banks should do a record together that would be hot.

  18. BK says:

    @ scott larock

    SMH AT U SAYIN ‘BANKS N ROSS SHOULD DO A RECORD TOGETHER’. U GAVE A VALID COMMENT WHICH U MADE VOID BY COMING OUT WITH THAT SHIT.

  19. Ross Won the Beef let it go says:

    Ross won, his brand keeps growing, he keeps dropping heat, and he has lames hating on him on blogs, life must be greattttt

    ^ True indeed, Ross dat n!gga right now, Puff know how to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$ Ross aint a dummy

  20. JustBeingReal says:

    Diddy knows how to make money everywhere else except in music. What was the last platinum-selling (not shipped) album to come out of Bad Boy? I won’t wait for it.
    I am born and raised in Dade County and I just don’t witness the fictional life he raps. That ish he pumps is fresh off a Martin Scorcese film.
    The reason why ROSS will never headline a MAJOR TOUR is because HE ISN’T A MAJOR STAR…He couldn’t sell out the Triple A while he gave half the tickets away.
    Ross has his lane and should stay in it. He’s eating better the 90% of America so take it for what it’s worth, ROSS.
    ROSS never had a platinum selling or shipped album. Don’t quote me just research.
    Said when Bow Wow or Soulja Boy can headline a tour. SMH…
    Kids this tells us that that gangsta doesn’t get you far.

  21. Ross LOST the beef, let it go says:

    Ross won, his brand keeps growing, he keeps dropping heat, and he has lames hating on him on blogs, life must be greattttt

    ^ True indeed, Ross dat n!gga right now, Puff know how to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$ Ross aint a dummy

    Yes he is, he at one point called out Eminem saying he could rap better then him, he’s a joke all his shit sound the same and he got falt out played in that “beef” Lloyd Banks’s Officer Down alone blew him out of the water, all he has to respond is saying he dresses better then 50, yet in every video his shirt is off and his big ass tities are swayin everywhere, hes a joke in every sence of the word. He’s dillusional and so are all his 49 fans, still trying to get to 50. He’s the reason hip hop is the way it is, brings in a bunch of Triple crackheads and his lyrics is full of lies, not even stories just all about himself and there all LIES. How can anyone say his brand is growing? Please give me a source.

  22. DJ HOOK says:

    Ross ain’t a dummy but he’s working for/with Puffy don’t make any since. 50 fucked Ross BM. Just like Jay-Z fucked Nas bitch. Let me fucked your wife & you tell me who won.

  23. dollabeelz says:

    i cant understand why people hate on ross, i mean than CO thing is sooooo old, black people never support each other, he is a good rapper maybe not the best in alot of peoples opinions but to me i cant see anyone else doin better at the moment and besides that his music speaks for itself, im rooting for him all the way, like i will with everyone who tries to better himself

  24. t dubs says:

    DJ HOOK; Ross ain’t a dummy but he’s working for/with Puffy don’t make any since. 50 fucked Ross BM

    Young man you are delusional. 50 didn’t fuck anything. Ross spits venom. Fif is a bully, and will always be a bully, thats’ how he made his career happen. Ross is a smart dude, he know how to push his investments, and market his brand, just listen to the dude talk. He remains consistent and words hit the point.

    The deal with Diddy will only streamline Ross to mainstream, and will WIN. Check this comment back after the summer.
