US.Lil Wayne Talks About Relationship With Rick Ross: “Maybe I Should Learn How To Get Rich From Him”
When it comes to hip-hop moguls, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross have built empires in their own right — one through lyrical mastery and cultural influence, the other through real estate, food chains, and endless entrepreneurial hustle. But this week, Wayne proved he’s just as witty as he is wise.
During a lighthearted conversation about success, friendship, and longevity in rap, Wayne smiled and said:
“Ross got too many businesses, man. Maybe I should learn how to get rich from him.”
The line — half joke, half truth — instantly went viral. Fans loved seeing the camaraderie between two of rap’s biggest names, both of whom rose from the streets to become self-made millionaires. Social media lit up with memes of “Lil Wayne taking business lessons from Rick Ross,” while Ross himself responded on Instagram with a laughing emoji and the caption: “Class starts Monday, Tunechi.”
Their friendship runs deep. The pair have collaborated on multiple chart-topping tracks like “John,” “9 Piece,” and “Idols Become Rivals.” Over the years, Ross has openly credited Wayne for inspiring his drive and independence. “Wayne taught us all how to own our sound,” Ross once said. “He showed us freedom.”
Meanwhile, Wayne’s admiration for Ross isn’t just about money — it’s about evolution. Despite his own legendary status, Wayne often praises artists who expand beyond music. “Ross figured it out,” he said in the same interview. “Music made him famous, but business made him unstoppable.”
Fans view the exchange as a rare moment of humility and humor from one of rap’s greatest icons. It’s not often that a Grammy-winning artist like Lil Wayne — with millions earned and countless hits — tips his hat to another man’s hustle.
But that’s what makes Wayne timeless. Beneath the tattoos, platinum plaques, and lyrical genius lies a man who still appreciates growth. As one fan put it:
“That’s why he’s the GOAT — even rich, he still wants to learn.”
With both legends teasing a new collaboration rumored for early next year, hip-hop might just get another anthem celebrating not only success — but the brotherhood behind the billions.
