The 46-year-old considered a career as a firefighter after his unpleasant experience in law enforcement. As he now looks back at his firefighting ambition, which didn’t pan out, Ross cracked jokes.
“You would probably burn like a f**king piece of chicken,” he said on the Full Send Podcast while imagining what he would have looked like as a firefighter.
The “Hustlin'” rapper touched on several other topics during the interview, including his beef with 50 Cent which he said is now sorted out.
“You know, I only rap beef with people with more money than me, and I guess that’s why I never rap beef,” the artist added.
Ross also talked about his working relationship with Drake. He said it was a woman he was dating who first inspired him to listen to more of Drake’s music.
“I remember like it was yesterday, but she was a cool, fly chick so I was like, ‘Play some of his music.’ It was most definitely one of them early [ones]. … Maybe the next time or two I was in the studio with Wayne, I met [Drake] and it was just genuine. He was just a cool young n***a,” Ross, who has since collaborated on several songs with Drake, said, according to Complex.
Speaking about Kanye West, another one of his close friends, Ross defended the artist from public criticism.
“He not losing his mind at all, because if you felt he was losing his mind now, it would’ve been lost 15 years ago, if you felt like that,” Ross said. “I’ve never felt like that. Homie’s always been a genius. He going through his thing with his family.”
