Rick Ross has left his fans befuddled after abruptly leaving an interview on Friday to catch a flight. The bizarre sequence unfolded when the rap mogul sat down with The 85 South Comedy Show, where he was talking about the latest happenings in his career.
The interview seemed to be going as expected until Rozay left the set, saying he needs to go to the bathroom. As it turned out, the artist never came back.
Shortly after Ross took off, a person off-camera notified the hosts that their guest left the building to catch a flight.
"Why he ain't just say that?" DC Young Fly asked.

Some people said they can certainly relate to a person who takes off abruptly in the middle of a social gathering.

Ross was promoting his latest album, Richer Than I Ever Been, before he suddenly disappeared during the interview. According to XXL Mag, the album underperformed in terms of sales within its first week.
“We ain’t get no dap?!” DC asked after the guest bolted on Friday. “How he just gon’ disappear on a n***a like that? We ain’t even say bye or nothing!”
The hosts continued to have fun with the awkward moment.
“That n***a The Phantom of the Opera,” Chico said. “I tell you one thing: from now on, that’s how the fuck I’m leaving.”
After releasing his project, Ross has been getting ridiculed by fans of his longtime rival, 50 Cent.
