Freeway Rick Ross' Advice To Tory Lanez

Elsewhere, Freeway Rick Ross also warned Tory Lanez of the many ways in which his immediate circle will change. He no longer has his typical entourage; instead, he will butt heads with gang members, both current and past, and have to be amicable with them and many others. As such, Freeway advised Lanez to steer clear of any criminal organizations in prison, as they would expect him to protect them or prove his worth through violent and confrontational situations. Not only that, but he said that buying inmates TVs is a good way to get on their side.

However, that access to money is something that Ross thinks will be the R&B and rap crooner's Achilles' heel. Other inmates will want money from him around the clock, but there are better uses of his money. For example, he suggested that Lanez should hay $300 a month for an inmate bodyguard to watch over him. We'll see whether he takes any of this advice to hear, even amid false rumors of release.
