Rick Ross, known in real life as William Leonard Roberts II, shared a clip on his Instagram Story last week of how he would like to sign American rapper Kanye West to his Maybach Music Group (MMG) label.
“I just had an amazing idea, a boss idea. This is something that’s extremely realistic to me. We’ve created amazing masterpieces in the past. The boss, Ricky Rozay, I’m interested in signing Kanye West,” the Miami star said in a clip on his Instagram Stories. “Maybach Music. Ye, what’s up? Talk to me. Let’s make history, baby.”
In the past, Ricky and Kanye West have teamed up to create massive hits including My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
One notable song the duo has created is the legendary Devil In A New Dress. The Hustling star recounts being given constructive criticism by Ye on his verse for the song.
During an interview with HBO’s The Shop in 2010, Rozay reflected on how being challenged by the American heavyweight rapper pushed him to rewrite what would become a masterpiece verse for the hit.
