Rick Ross Promises To Sign Two African Artists To His Label

Rick Ross has achieved mainstream success with his Maybach Music Group imprint. The record label is home to the Biggest Bawse, Meek Mill, and Wale. It seems, Ross is looking to expand the brand even more.

Over the weekend, the MMG boss took a trip to Africa, and he loved the continent so much that he decided to help out in a major way. For starters, he shouted out several African artists since he felt his peers weren’t doing enough to help their brothers and sisters in the motherland.

Ross said from his hotel room, “I just woke up here on Easter and I just wanted to share love and just want to rep.” He noted that not “enough American artists shedding light on Africa, supporting African artists.” So he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Ross explained, ” I’ma go out in the city today. I’ma go out in the slums, I’ma go places that the police don’t even want to go and I’ma just show love.” He then proceeded to give a shout out to his fellow artists, “I want to start by showing love to everybody that’s in my family.”

Everybody that’s been repping Rick Ross, MMG, Bel-Aire, Bumbu, McQueen, Villon, all the real brand ambassadors, I want to shout some of y’all out. I’ma start with Hamisa, Valery Ayena, Stanley Enow, Blanche Bailly.”

Ross also shouted other African artists such as Da Les, Yanga, Kwesta, Priddy Ugly and more in a separate video. He then took it upon himself to announce he would be signing two artists from Africa to join his crew over at MMG. The rapper kept his promise and went out into the streets of Angola to be amongst the townspeople who were ecstatic to see Ross in their presence.
