Shortly after revealing his new tattoo, Rick Ross shared some words on Nip's death. Although their relationship goes back a few years, Ross revealed that they've been communicating a lot more in recent times since they collaborated on a new record and were plotting the video which was supposed to feature Teyana Taylor.
"It's about what the culture lost. You know the young homie was pure, his heart was pure," he said. "Hopefully, Nipsey inspired some more young leaders."
