AP: You and 50 Cent had an exchange on social media recently. Why do you think he continues to attack you?
Ross: You ever ask yourself that?
AP: I thought the beef was a done deal, but it keeps coming up...
Ross: Is it beef?
AP: Yes. People still look at it as beef.
Ross: Are you aware of his current financial status?
AP: 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy this year.
Ross: And when companies and corporations usually file for bankruptcy then, what?
AP: You tell me.
Ross: You do that when it's over. It's called 'when it's over.' So rest in peace. R.I.P. Other than that, we are running around New York City (50 Cent's hometown) as we speak. The excitement in these streets for the new album, I'm dropping new remixes, I've been in the game since '06 and nobody has ever stepped on one of my sneakers. Not one, ya dig. That speaks for itself.
There's a lot of talking and tweeting in this industry, but who really getting money? Don't ever get it twisted. You see Jay Z, you see Puff Daddy, and right around there somewhere, you see (Rick Ross) is in the starting lineup. We put new chlorine in the pool weekly. It's a lot of distractions that's meant to distract you from staying focused. In the majority of the time, the distractions aren't even worth it, especially when you have single-handedly torn something down that you've once respected and admired to the point where they are nothing. I think that's the testament to the MMG (Maybach Music Group) brand, as we continue to grow, sign new artists, create new ventures, our net worth has only tripled in the last three years. I think for young entrepreneurs, that is what's important. Not no flossing (stuff), but on some keeping your lights on long-term type-of-(stuff). Let's remain creative with no boundaries.
It doesn't matter which state you are from, what gang you're in or country you are from. Let's put some big thinkers together and make something that'll last a lineage. That's what I'm about. My homies are giving promotions, we're empowering people. We are not firing and tearing down. We're not chasing behind actresses. We don't get our booties licked. We live by principles. It's a certain code of ethics. As men in our position, there will be problems, there will be disagreements, but as ... kings, it's certain things we don't do.
