Rick Ross and Lil Durk don't have many collaborations together, but they do share a lot of topics, aesthetics, and ideas in their music. While Durk faces a lot of legal trouble right now for his alleged murder-for-hire case, Ross wants to emphasize the other side of their street tales: the fact that they made it out and found something better. However, he kind of threw Smurk under the bus in the process. Nevertheless, the Maybach Music Group mogul took to his Instagram page with a video message for young fans looking to get cash and stay out of more dangerous lines of revenue.
"It's the Biggest Boss in the game, Ricky Rozay," Rick Ross began his Instagram message, as usual. "How many n***as screamed 'Free Lil Durk' at that Rolling Loud? How many? Alright, now. For y'all young hustlers, y'all got to learn how to do roofing. Y'all got to learn how to lay marble floors. You got to learn how to do the plumbing. This is a multiple million dollar game, multiple million dollar game. I'm walking up on these real estate sites, I see very few brothers that's on the roofs, that's doing the plumbing, that's doing the drywall, that's doing the electricity. It's a lot of money in that. Once again, how many people said 'Free Lil Durk' at Rolling Loud? Exactly."
For those unaware, the last update about Rick Ross' subject we got was a claim from DJ Akademiks, who told fans that new music from Lil Durk is coming soon. "Drake's coming soon, Durk's coming soon, and YB’s getting out of jail," the streamer and media personality alleged. The Chicago artist had announced an album in 2024, but his arrest obviously changed his plans.
We will see how the Lil Durk case develops in due time. Elsewhere, Rick Ross is still beefing with his longtime opp 50 Cent, but fans clowned his recent attempt to make G-Unit Studios' concept art rendering look like 50 was faking how the unbuilt production lot actually looked. Does he know that he missed the mark? Rozay probably shrugged it off and wiped his tears with hundreds... But so did Fif.

Mustard has seemingly hit back at comments from Drake‘s producer Gordo, with a little help from JAY-Z.
Gordo, who worked on several Drizzy albums including $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, For All the Dogs and Honestly, Nevermind, called out the “Not Like Us” hitmaker this week after noticing that he was no longer following him on social media.
“omg just noticed mustard unfollowed me on ig…. Sad day,” he wrote sarcastically on X. “headlining chella must of got to his head.”
Despite unfollowing Gordo, Mustard appeared to catch wind of his post and issued a snarky yet subliminal response on Instagram.
Alongside a caption which read: “We not the same,” the producer posted a video of JAY-Z in an interview saying: “Are you kidding me? Who are you guys talking to? What have you done to even have an opinion on what I been doing? You done nothing to even have an opinion.”

Mustard hasn’t exactly been quiet about his disdain for Drake throughout the 6 God’s beef with Kendrick Lamar which erupted last year.
The multi-platinum producer and DJ graced the stage at Tyler, The Creator‘s Camp Flog Gnaw last November, where he surprised the crowd by appearing to cue up Drizzy’s Take Care hit “Crew Love” with The Weeknd.
Before the song could kick into gear, however, Mustard jumped on the mic and yelled, “Sike!” before quickly pivoting to Kendrick, Future and Metro Boomin‘s “Like That,” the blistering collaboration that ignited the heated feud between the Hip Hop titans.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times months earlier, the 10 Summers hitmaker took a shot at Drake’s character while ruling out a reunion with his “Who Do You Love?” collaborator.
“I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy,” he said matter-of-factly.
Mustard would also offer Drake some advice on how to bounce back from the beef, saying to Big Boy: “I’m not speaking at Drake or for him, but a lot of shit that’s going on — the tactics, the things that you do just to get attention. You don’t need to do that. Just make music, man. Make good music and you’ll be fine.”
Mustard also made a surprise appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s historic Super Bowl halftime show performance, joining the Compton superstar for his climactic rendition of “TV Off” which he also produced.
