Rick Ross is known for dropping knowledge and giving valuable advice, whether it's about business, real estate, or the world of hip-hop. However, in a recent video posted to his Instagram, he shifted gears and discussed politics for a brief moment.
In the video, Rick Ross revealed that he had a phone conversation with one of his close friends, and the topic at hand was the time when Donald Trump was in office, specifically during the pandemic. Ross cautioned his followers not to be fooled into thinking that Trump had everything under control and had people "eating."
"I just got off the phone with one of my homies, and let's make it clear. You vote for who you want to vote for, it's fine with me," Ross began. "But one of my homies was like, 'Boy, I can't wait for Trump to get back in; he had a n**ga eating!'"
Ross then paused, seemingly collecting his thoughts before continuing. "I just don't want anybody to be delusional. You can't be a delusional n**ga. Did he really have you eating, or was it a nationwide, worldwide pandemic, and you n**gas stole the money?"
The "eating" Ross refers to is likely in relation to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans that were issued during the pandemic. These loans were intended to help small businesses cover lost income and pay their employees during the COVID-19 crisis.
Ross may have a point when it comes to the alleged misuse of these loans. According to NBC News, experts estimated that around 10% of the $800 billion given out by the government went to fraudulent activity, resulting in up to $80 billion in losses.
This warning from Ross comes as no surprise, as he has been vocal about his distaste for Trump in the past. He even went as far as blocking Trump's ballot access in his home state of Maine after the infamous Capitol riot.
The bottom line is that Ross wants people to think critically and not be swayed by false promises or rhetoric. Whether we agree with his views or not, we can all appreciate the importance of staying informed and aware when it comes to matters of politics and voting.
