“I’m most definitely an avid user, a pothead, however you want to look at it,” Rick Ross told Rolling Stone about smoking weed. “I call it green caviar. It’s like a short vacation—it helps me chill out. And people really love it when I chill out, because I can really be a di–head.”
Rick Ross says his decision to become a corrections officers was hugely influenced by his best friend who was sent to prison for 10 years for trafficking cocaine.
“This was my best friend, who I ate peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches with, and pork and beans with, my buddy, my partner, my number-one dude,” Ross said. “Suddenly I’m talking to him over federal phone calls. Hearing the way it was building, I knew I couldn’t take nothing for granted,” says Ross. “My homey’s father was a huge influence on my life, too . . . He was the one who was like, ‘Yo, go get a job somewhere, man. Go be a fireman. Or go be a fing corrections officer. Just go sit down somewhere.”
