Rapper and businessman Rick Ross has stated that he would like to own the Miami Heat, an NBA team. The rapper stated that he would want to buy the team because he was raised in Miami during an interview on “The OGs Podcast,” which is hosted by two former Heat players, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller.
“Just talking about franchises, so you read my mind. Big homie what’s going on with the Heat? I know you got the money now,” Haslem said, according to Sports Illustrated. “When you gonna make that play?”
“Oh, you already know I’m gonna keep it real now. I need y’all to walk me in there. Come on, we gotta get us a piece of that Miami Heat. One time for La Spoelstra Nostra, you already know,” Ross began to discuss his interest. “In my mind I would love to see that, I would love to see that,” Haslem further stated.
Since Ross grew up in Miami, his fondness for the club is not in doubt. “Hey, big homie, that’s a dream; that’s a dream for Rozay, you know, just to see, you know, the city because it wouldn’t just be for me,” Ross shared. “It’ll be for the city.”
When co-host Miller chipped, stating “This is Miami right here,” Ross concluded, “You know somebody from the city; a part of the city come up and earn that, you know what I mean.”
With $11.5 million, the rapper was listed as one of 2017’s Hip-Hop Cash Kings by Forbes. Many people think he could buy a portion of the Miami Heat, despite the fact that his present net worth is unknown.
And his business endeavors bear witness to his investment prowess, should there be any doubt about his capacity.Ross is the owner of multiple companies, such as
Maybach Music Group
In 2009, he established the Maybach Music Group, which elevated his status as a musician to a new level. Warner Bros., who assumed distribution of the label after Def Jam Recordings’ contract expired, presently handles it.
Mayback has discovered various musicians, notably Masspike Miles. Along with reggae musician Magazeen, the company also signed Gunplay (born Richard Morales) from Miami, Ma Torch (born Kevin Belnavis) from the Bronx, and Young Breed.
Wingstop
Apart from being a franchise owner of Wingstop, “Rozay,” as his friends call him, he owns a Maybach Music Group. He launched 28 Wingstop restaurants as of 2019.
He asserts that opening a franchise allows people to eat healthily in addition to reaping financial benefits. The rapper’s personal health crisis had an impact on his way of living. He experienced two seizures in a single day in 2011, and in 2018 his Florida home discovered him unconscious.
“I was suffering from seizures a few years back, that’s why I really had to take control of my health, my weight, and my diet,” he said in an interview. “I still enjoy Wingstop so I had to be a leader and lead by example,” he admits. “I had a big seven-figure offer to help take a tobacco company to another level, but I don’t smoke cigarettes and I didn’t want to be a part of that so I had to turn that down.”
