DC Young Fly has unleashed a fiery critique of Rick Ross following the rapper’s controversial walkout during an interview on the 85 South Show. The incident, which occurred three years ago, has reignited tensions as DC Young Fly expressed his deep disappointment over Ross’s decision to abruptly leave their platform while later appearing on a predominantly white podcast without issue.
In a recent discussion, DC Young Fly emphasized the disrespect he felt, stating, “You went and did a podcast with them white folks and didn’t leave.” He highlighted that while they would never ask Ross any controversial questions, he felt belittled by the rapper’s actions, which seemed to imply that the white podcast was more worthy of his time and respect. “What message are we sending out when we do things like that?” he questioned, calling out the systemic issues at play in how artists engage with their own community compared to others.
DC Young Fly’s comments reflect a broader frustration within the Black community about how cultural figures often prioritize mainstream platforms over their own. He expressed that this behavior perpetuates a cycle of self-neglect and disrespect, saying, “You can’t do your own people like that.”
While acknowledging his ongoing appreciation for Ross’s music, DC Young Fly made it clear that such actions are unacceptable. “That ain’t solid,” he asserted, urging Ross to recognize the hard work that goes into building platforms like the 85 South Show. As the dialogue continues, the call for unity and respect within the industry grows louder, underscoring the need for artists to uplift their own communities rather than walk away from them.
