In a fiery exchange that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community, Rick Ross and DC Young Fly clashed over Ross’s controversial exit from the 85 South Show three years ago. The drama reignited during a recent podcast appearance, where DC Young Fly expressed his hurt over Ross’s abrupt departure, questioning whether the rapper respects Black platforms as much as he does white ones.
Back in 2020, Ross left the 85 South Show without explanation, later claiming he was “too high” to continue. But Young Fly, alongside his co-hosts, wasn’t buying that excuse. They voiced their disappointment, highlighting that while Ross had no obligation to explain his actions, a simple acknowledgment of respect would have sufficed. The tension escalated as they pointed out that Ross had willingly stayed on a white podcast for nearly two hours, answering tough questions without flinching—a stark contrast to his behavior on their show.
The backlash against Ross intensified online, with fans calling him out for perceived disrespect towards his “little homies.” In response, Ross fired back, asserting that he appeared on their show for free and criticized Young Fly for not appreciating his gesture. He claimed he had other commitments that day and was merely trying to show love.
Young Fly countered, reminding Ross that many guests come on the show without payment and underscoring that their podcast’s success isn’t reliant on any single appearance, including his. The exchange underscores a deeper issue of respect and loyalty within the industry, raising questions about how artists value different platforms.
As the drama unfolds, both Ross and Young Fly have left the door open for reconciliation, but the tension remains palpable. Fans are now left to wonder if this feud will simmer down or escalate further. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
