William Leonard Roberts Ii

American rapper Rick Ross became famous not only for his hits, which immediately after the release more than once occupied the leading positions in the American music charts. The man is also the creator of the Maybach Music record label, executive director and has time to do business.

The real name of the hip-hop artist is William Leonard Roberts II, he was born at the end of January 1976 in Miami, Florida, USA. In high school, the guy became interested in playing American football, which later allowed him to move to Georgia on a scholarship he received from the games and go to State University in Albany.

In his youth, the rapper's biography was far from music, for a year and a half he worked as an employee of a correctional institution and did not even dream that one day his life would be full of concerts and performances at parties.

The beginning of Ross's musical career dates back to the mid-1990s, and then the tracks were recorded with a group he created, which was named "Carol City Cartel". Together with Rick, there were 5 people, in this composition the guys came up with songs and performed until 2006. Then one of the guys left the team, and in order to diversify his creativity, the rapper decides to rename the team to Triple C's.

The performer invented the name Rick Ross himself in the mid-2000s, or rather, "borrowed" from a famous drug lord, to whom he has nothing to do. And when they found out in rapper circles that in his youth Ross worked as a prison guard, he was immediately awarded the nickname Officer Ricky.

The rapper's debut album was released in 2006 and immediately took the top lines of the American chart. In the first week, fans of creativity sold out 187 thousand copies of records, and the main song "Hustlin" was awarded a gold award by the RIAA. The next collection "Trilla" was not long in coming, the listeners bought it already in 2008.

The great excitement around Ross's music again allowed his new disc to rise to the top lines of the Billboard 200. This time, the circulation of 650 thousand surpassed all expectations, very quickly sold off store shelves and also received the RIAA gold certificate. After such a success at the music Olympus, MTV News ranked Ross as the 4th Hottest MC of 2008.

Rick's next album, "Deeper Than Rap", was waiting for listeners in 2009. Although sales this time were inferior in number, the disc still managed to top several charts, and also took first position in the Billboard 200. Moreover, this disc was released under the new Maybach Music label, created by the musician in the same period as all subsequent Ross albums.

However, not everything went so smoothly in the musician's career. In 2009, the man started a feud with the popular rapper 50 Cent. In his track entitled "Mafia Music", he added provocative lines that accused the artist of involvement in the arson of his ex-wife's house.

This was soon followed by a corresponding reaction - a diss from 50 Cent, the song contained words condemning Ross' work in prison. The latter did not stand on ceremony with his opponent and, filming a video for one of the songs from the last disc, demonstrated a plot showing the funeral of an opponent.

In 2012, the performer presented to the audience the 4th disc "God Forgives I Don't" with a total number of sales close to half a million. It also includes a track called "100 black coffins". A year later, at the Grammy Awards, the disc was nominated for Best Rap Album. And although the artist then failed to take the award, it was still a big step in his musical career.

In terms of conflicts, that year was also remembered by the musician's listeners, as he managed to fight another rapper Young Jezzi. The reason for the conflict lies in the insults that Ross allowed himself to utter to his opponent during his speech. And in 2013, the man was in mortal danger. When returning home from the club at night, the rapper's car was fired upon from a nearby car. Rick tried to hide from the attackers, but lost control and crashed into a wall. As a result of the collision, no one was seriously injured.

Over the next few years, Ross recorded 3 more discs - "Mastermind", "Hood Billionaire" and "Black Market". At the same time, various events took place in the life of the performer.

A year before that, the song of the American and Mikhail Shufutinsky "September 3" appeared on Youtube, the video for which was also appreciated by Russian listeners. The 9th album "Rather You Than Me" appeared in the artist's discography in 2017.

In March 2018, the rapper's fans learned that he was in the hospital. Ross was found unconscious in his own home in Miami, at first it was said that he was in serious condition and connected to a mechanical ventilation system.

In 2011, Rick already faced this problem. Then on one day he had 2 heart attacks at once with a difference of several hours. After that, the rapper took up health and lost 45 kg in a short time. This time, the man was quickly discharged, but the doctors recommended that he pay attention to his lifestyle.

Toya's daughter was born in 2002, her mother is Lastonia Levitson, but the musician broke up with her soon after the birth of their first child.
