Freeway Rick Ross deserves all his flowers, a true definition of someone who was all the way down bad and changed his life for the better. Born in Texas but raised in South Central Los Angeles, the 61-year-old is best known for building one of the most fruitful drug empires back in the 80’s-equating a profit of up to 7 figures on the daily. While he was sentenced to a life sentence, in 2009 he was released on appeal... 20 years later.
To date, Freeway is a newfound person, enjoying every second of every day as he cherishes his freedom that he aptly reminds us should never be taken advantage of. Not only does he exude the most kind, positive energy, but he serves as an inspiration and role model for all those with a dollar and a dream. And still, on top of his endless business endeavors, he finds time to train his kids in tennis, practicing for 3 hours nearly every single day.
Formerly a tennis player of his own, he states, “sometimes we give up on our dreams just a little too fast. That’s what happened to me, but it’s not going to happen in the cannabis industry,” he states with a laugh. “I love the cannabis industry.”
Freeway’s day in the life includes receiving 150 to 200 calls each day, which is why I’m super blessed to have him as a guest on my new show Shirley’s Temple. On the 12th episode, I sat with Freeway Rick Ross at Matrix Studios in Los Angeles to discuss his newfound passion in the cannabis industry, his own company LA Kingpin, reading 300 books behind bars, enjoying his 20 years in prison, mutual respect for everyone, Rick Ross avoiding him, being vegan for 31 years, Snowfall stealing his life story, not knowing cocaine was addictive, fatherhood, and more!
