You know Rick Ross as the Bawse, a man who lives life large. But even bosses have their close calls! In a recent interview, the rap mogul shared a wild story about a near-disaster at one of his infamous pool parties – and it happened just before the release of his latest memoir.
The ‘Double Decker Slapper’ Incident
While chatting with the Daily Mail about his upcoming book, ‘Renaissance of a Boss: Notes from a Creative Reawakening,’ Ross recounted a moment where he almost broke his leg. The incident occurred during a pool party as he attempted a daring dive off his diving board, a move he playfully calls the ‘Double Decker Slapper.’
He admitted, “I almost broke my f**king leg… But it was fun.” Despite the scare, Ross seems to look back on the memory with a laugh, highlighting his resilient spirit and ability to find humor even in potentially dangerous situations. He even mentioned plans for another pool party after an upcoming car show on June 13, proving that the celebrations continue.
Lessons from the Falls: ‘Renaissance of a Boss’
This memoir, his third, delves into the journey of how he achieved his current status in the music industry. Rick Ross shared with the Daily Mail that he values the setbacks he’s faced, seeing them as crucial preparation for his successes. “I appreciate a lot of the falls. I understand them. They prepared you for, you know what I’m saying, the upside.”
If it was anything, I could have told a younger Rick Ross man, ‘you so much closer. Don’t quit, homie.’ That’s like being a senior in school and you drop out right before you f**king graduate. Don’t do it. Don’t quit. — Rick Ross
He emphasized the importance of perseverance, likening quitting just before graduation to dropping out of school right before receiving a diploma. His message to his younger self would be to keep pushing, as success is closer than it seems.
New Album ‘Set In Stone’ on the Horizon
But the news doesn’t stop with the memoir! Rick Ross also announced his next album, titled ‘Set In Stone.’ While a release date hasn’t been set, he described the creative process as pushing himself to the absolute limit, aiming to surpass all his previous musical endeavors.
He explained, “I challenged myself musically. That’s what the renaissance is about, it’s not getting to a point where you feel you at a ceiling.” Ross is eager for fans to hear the album, which he believes offers a unique contribution to the current music landscape, both sonically and thematically.
