Rick Ross Reveals Why NY Legend Turned Him Down: "I Offered Him A Deal"

Maybach Music Group head Rick Ross recently revealed one of his biggest music inspirations prior to becoming the self-proclaimed "Boss" and how much he tried to convince this New York legend to join his team.

According to Ricky Rozay, rap icon Kool G. Rap had an opportunity to join MMG before the label blew up around late 2010.

"You hit it right on the head," Ross said when asked if Kool G. Rap is one of his early influences. "It was a point I fly G. Rap down to Miami and I offered G. Rap a deal, this was years ago, this was before Maybach Music Group had really took form. I was such a huge fan and we got into the studio and we did maybe three records in a couple hours. I was like, 'Man.' We did one record we released titled 'Knife Fight.' It was just good to see the homie on his feet, still doing good. [Why didn't it work out?] For different reasons. I'm not really sure. We both agreed to certain things but through time or whatever, he was doing his thing."
