The magazine has announced that it will be returning to shelves in honor of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop. This limited run features several iconic performers including Swizz Beatz, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes and 50 Cent with Rick Ross on the lead cover. In the interview the “I’m Not A Star” rapper speaks on the impact of the culture and more. “I think the core of Hip-Hop was about having a voice for where you was from,” he explained. “When you saw Puerto Ricans breakdancing—you know, I’m somewhere halfway across the world, and I know where they from.”
Ashlee Glenn, Executive Vice President at EBONY detailed her enthusiasm in a statement. “We hand-picked our Fall cover stars because they represent the excellence of the genre. Their style and business acumen are as influential to our culture as their musical prowess, and we could not miss this opportunity to give our loyal readers what they have long been asking for – a physical copy of our legendary print magazine.”
“EBONY Magazine has been a pioneer publication documenting Black life in America since its inception. EBONY has photographed and profiled some of the most iconic figures in Hip-Hop, those who have influenced culture and shaped society. It is a pleasure to partner with EBONY to continue documenting the moments that made history and those which undoubtedly will,” adds Mass Appeal SVP of Partnerships & Content Acquisition Jenya Meggs.
You can purchase this commemorative edition of EBONY at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Walgreens, Target, Publix, Safeway, Kroger, Books A Million, and more, plus select retailers in London and South Africa.

Rick Ross is a study of how hard work truly pays off along with making smart choices with one’s investments. The Miami rapper will be the subject of a law class that will examine his varying business interests, music career, and more.
The Miami Herald turned its focus on Moraima Ivory, who is the professor of practice and director of the Entertainment, Sports & Media Law Initiative at the George State University’s College of Law in Atlanta. Professor Ivory’s angle is to open each session of class with a notable Rick Ross track before delving into the many business interests of the man behind the music and image.
“You get an opportunity to see how he has built this empire that he has amassed,” Ivory said to the Herald. “Whether it’s in music, real estate, in brand partnerships, equity, positioning — he has done it.”
Ivory’s class is titled the “Legal Life of Rick Ross, and will look at Ricky Rozay’s early grind, the onset of his success, and how his business savvy culminated in his Maybach Music Group record label. Ross is also slated to appear in Ivory’s class at some point during the semester, as noted in the Herald’s report.
In the statement shared by the outlet, Ross laid out his aims in contributing to Ivory’s class.
“The ‘Biggest’ meets the classroom. I’ve always been a student of the game, and I look forward to being able to teach the next generation how to keep hustlin’,” Ross shared. The rapper is the fourth celebrity figure centered in Ivory’s “Legal Life Of “series with Ludacris, Kandi Burruss, and Steve Harvey previously featured.
“People have a perception that hip-hop is one big party and they really dismiss the business and the legal aspect of what goes on in the person’s career,” Ivory said. “There’s no way that these figures — the ones that I studied or anybody for that matter that’s in this career — doesn’t have to learn how to become a businessperson separate from their creativity.”
On its surface, the class might ring as a clever tactic to attract students to sessions but Ivory, a Bronx native, sees a greater impact behind her study and work, especially during the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop underway.

Rick Ross might’ve shed a bunch of pounds and gotten himself into better shape. However, Renzel must’ve been skipping leg day because his knees gave out on him at the worst possible moment in public.
Over the weekend, the biggest Bawse of them all threw an exclusive pool party on his Promised Land property out in Georgia. And while everyone in attendance was enjoying the festivities, Ross definitely gave them something to remember when he took to the diving board in an attempt to wow his guests. Wow them he did. After calmly walking down the plank and building up hype for his dive, Rick Ross warmed up with a few springs before attempting the jump only for his knees to give out and cause him to sink down, straight down to Davy Jones’ locker.
Captain Jack Sparrow couldn’t have saved that man.
Between Ross’ dive fail and DJ Khaled’s brush with death while surfing, it seems like big men should avoid water sports entirely for the remainder of 2023. Hopefully, the elements will have a little more mercy on plus sized men in 2024. Rod Wave, stay out the pool! Jason Whitlock, have a blast! We kid we kid.
Luckily, Rozay has a sense of humor just like us and posted his dive fail on his own Instagram page with a caption that read: “Don’t try my ‘DOUBLE DECKER SLAPPER’ dive at home! I think we all should enjoy @villonfrance 🍷today and chill. Peace ✌️”
You gotta love him. Check out Rick Ross take the diving L above, and let us know what you think about the moment in the comments section below.

The Rick Ross and DJ Envy beef (over a car show) has been the weirdest and most unnecessary back-and-forth we’ve seen in Hip-Hop in a hot minute, but Ross isn’t letting up and continues to keep adding fuel to that fire.
In his latest “jab” at Envy, Rick Ross decided to flaunt a little something and we’re not talking about jewelry or money or even an automobile. Nope, he decided to take to Instagram to show off his latest acquisition, a car show permit. Yup, Ricky Rozay has been approved to host his second annual car show, which will feature performances from himself (of course) and his man, Gucci Mane.
Not one to be a sore winner, Rick Ross extended an “olive branch” to DJ Envy and actually invited him to his car show and even added a sweetener by saying he could bring 50 Cent along for the ride if he wanted to. Now, we know neither DJ Envy nor 50 Cent will accept the invitation, but it would be hella interesting if they did and showed up together at Rick Ross’ “Promised Land” property for the upcoming festivities. Just sayin’.
Should be a helluva car show. Now we wait to see if DJ Envy has anything to say to his automobile rival.
What do y’all think of the entire situation? Let us know in the comments section below.

Rick Ross is bossing up by any means possible. He has offered Don Lemon a spot at one of his many Wingstop locations.
As spotted on TMZ the Miami, Florida talent did not waste any time in going to social media shortly after the news personality announced CNN had given him the boot. “Just found out Don Lemon was terminated from CNN. Damn, dawg,” Rick Ross said. “But guess what? The brother’s got your back. We’re hiring at Winstop, and for some reason, I believe you know what you doing with the lemon-pepper wings, so man, just send over your resume” he continued. “I’m going to make sure I get you in front of the right grill, brother. Stay solid, brother.”
Later on Rozay upped the ante and also included his newest venture into the mix. “Just came up with a wonderful idea — well, really, Don, you helped me come up with this,” he explained. “I need to hit the team over at Rap Star Energy Drink and let ’em know we should introduce the Don Lemon flavor. What y’all think? Aye, Don, we got you brother!”
On Monday, April 24 Lemon confirmed the rumors that the news channel was no longer in need of his services. “I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.”

Rick Ross has some epic first-world problems. Apparently, the Miami-representing but now Georgia-residing rapper’s neighbors are upset that his buffalo have roamed onto their property and cause some damage.
[embedded content]
Yes, you read that right. Apparently some time ago Rozay was gifted a pair of buffalo, and he’s allegedly not doing the best of job of keeping the beasts corralled.
Reports TMZ:
The neighbor, who lives on a plot of land behind RR’s Fayetteville, GA compound, tells TMZ … the two buffaloes have wandered onto her property twice this week. Keep in mind, adult buffalo can tip the scales at around 2,000 lbs.!!!
She’s worried they may pose a danger to her small children.
TMZ obtained video showing Rick’s behemoth pets running through the neighbor’s front yard … and she says she came home from work to discover the wild scene.
She also snapped photos of the buffaloes grazing on the grass near a paved driveway full of parked cars.
Does insurance even cover your car getting dented by a buffalo?
Sounds like the neighbor has a legit beef. No pun intended, honestly.
Reportedly, she called the police, of course, but they didn’t take a report citing that it was a civil matter.
After news of the loose cattle broke, Ross took to IG to tell his followers the situation was being handled. He also made sure to add that his “cattle” are not meat-eaters so if you see them around, give them a carrot and give him a call to take care of it. We kid you not.
