Rick Ross on Why He Didn’t Respond to The Game’s Diss Track
In a recent interview, Rick Ross shed light on his decision not to respond to The Game’s diss track, “Freeway’s Revenge.” Speaking with Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Ross explained that he only engages in diss tracks when there’s something to gain from it. He emphasized that sometimes, “not responding is a response when you a boss”.
Ross contrasted this with his reaction to Drake’s diss track “Push Ups.” He responded to Drake with his own track, “Champagne Moments,” because he felt it was necessary to address the shots taken at him. However, when it came to The Game, Ross chose a different approach. Instead of releasing a song, he opted to throw jabs on social media, highlighting that silence can be a powerful response.
This strategic decision underscores Ross’s belief in the power of selective engagement. By choosing when and how to respond, he maintains control over his narrative and public image. It’s a reminder that in the world of hip-hop, sometimes the best response is no response at all.
