Rick Ross Career

William Leonard Roberts II was born on the 28th of January, 1976 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, U.S. Prior to the success of his music career, Ross briefly worked as a correctional officer in Florida which was understandingly embarrassing for someone in the street-cred-obsessed world of hip-hop like Rick Ross. 

He also had trouble with the law in a more traditional sense – he’s been arrested for guns and drugs, and has also faced lawsuits from various other people in the music industry. Ross has also had highly public feuds with fellow rappers like 50 Cent. 

However, you don’t make millions of dollars simply by feuding with other rappers but in Ross’ case, he needed to release several top-selling albums to make it to the top. In 2006, he released his first album ‘Port of Miami’. 

Ross has since released six more studio albums but despite all the controversy surrounding the authenticity of his persona or his ‘gangsta’ credentials, he will continue to laugh all the way to the bank.
