Rick Ross has recently found himself at the center of a social media spat with fellow rapper Uncle Murda. The exchange follows Uncle Murda’s comments regarding Ross’s performance at the Millennium Tour, where he alleged that Ross failed to show support for incarcerated rapper Lil Durk.

In a video shared on his social media, Uncle Murda called out Ross, questioning whether he would use his platform to say “free Lil Durk” during his tour performances. Murda’s remarks came in the context of Ross’s critique of other artists who did not mention Lil Durk at the Rolling Loud festival. This prompted Ross to respond directly, sliding into Uncle Murda’s DMs with a cheeky suggestion that he come by to “wash the bottom” of his boat, signaling a dismissive attitude towards Murda’s comments.

The exchange highlights the ongoing dialogue within the hip-hop community about artist responsibility and the importance of using one’s platform to advocate for peers facing legal challenges. Uncle Murda, who is gearing up for his own Canadian tour starting May 8, emphasized the significance of purpose in his message, urging young entrepreneurs to focus on meaningful endeavors rather than merely financial gain.

While the feud may appear light-hearted, it underscores deeper issues regarding solidarity and support in the industry. As both artists continue to navigate their careers, fans are left watching closely to see how this exchange plays out in the public eye. Ross’s playful retort may have quelled immediate tensions, but the conversation around artist responsibility and support in challenging times remains a pertinent topic in hip-hop culture.
