by Rick Ross, the self-proclaimed “Biggest Boss,” finds himself in the headlines, but this time, it’s not about his sprawling estates or latest business ventures. The hip-hop mogul reportedly owes nearly $65,000 in taxes in Georgia.
According to reports, Ross’s alleged tax debt is tied to his Fayetteville estate, famously known as “The Promised Land,” a 235-acre property complete with a 45,000-square-foot mansion. It’s worth noting that this isn’t Ross’s first run-in with financial scrutiny. Over the years, the rapper has faced several lawsuits and liens related to property and business expenses. And while $65,000 might seem like pocket change for Ross, who boasts about his lavish lifestyle in hits like “Hustlin’” and “B.M.F.,” the news only heightens rumors that the rap mainstay has financial troubles.
Neither Rick Ross nor his team has publicly addressed these recent accusations. Given his track record of turning challenges into opportunities, it’s possible Ross will use this moment as fuel for his larger-than-life persona. After all, if there’s one thing the Maybach Music boss knows, it’s how to turn adversity into art.
Despite the financial buzz, Rick Ross’s music career remains solid. In late 2024, he announced a new forthcoming project, which he teased as a return to the luxurious storytelling and hard-hitting beats that made him a household name. While a release date hasn’t been confirmed, fans should expect collaborations with longtime friends and collaborators like Drake, Meek Mill, and DJ Khaled.
XO Touring and AG Touring recently announced that Rick Ross will perform in the highly anticipated “BMF Big Meech Welcome Back Legacy Concert,” hosted by Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory. This star-studded event will also feature performances from Lil Baby, Sexyy Red, 21 Savage, Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, Kodak Black, BossMan Dlow, Tee Grizzley, Skilla Baby, and more. Set to take place at the Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, February 13, the one-night-only concert not only celebrates the Black Mafia Family co-founder’s legacy but also serves as a launchpad for Big Meech’s advocacy for criminal justice reform.
Big Meech’s influence on hip-hop culture has been undeniable, with artists showing their support throughout his incarceration. Rick Ross famously referenced Meech in his hit “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” while 50 Cent brought Meech’s story to life in the acclaimed TV series “BMF,” casting Meech’s son, Lil Meech, in the lead role.
For fans of Ross’s opulent rhymes and booming beats, 2025 is shaping up to be a promising year. While the Georgia tax issue may temporarily cast a shadow, it’s unlikely to dim the shine of one of rap’s most enduring figures.
