Miami rapper/entrepreneur Rick Ross has been vocal about his health and fitness goals. Now The Boss is putting his money where his mouth is, investing a healthy sum into telehealth provider Jetdoc.
Rick Ross Partners With Jetdoc
Jetdoc offers virtual doctor visits and prescription discounts to subscribers, no health insurance necessary. Ross got involved with the company in 2020 as a celebrity endorser and investor.
“I gotta have a doctor right here at my fingertips,” he says. “If I’m feeling dizzy, short of breath, I might just need a word of their advice.” “Being a celeb, privacy is a huge thing. Instead of walking into a doctor’s office and ending up on TMZ . . . I could just get it over the phone.”
Rick Ross + Jetdoc Strive To Help The Black Community
Part of Jetdoc’s mission is to provide better healthcare access to people of color and other underserved communities. Company founder Tommy Duncan cites high rates of diabetes in the Black community as a particularly troubling issue.
“Rick Ross has been a unique individual, particularly from the African-American community, where we don’t talk about our healthcare issues publicly. We only deal with those things privately. And I commend him for having the courage, the leadership, to speak about his issues publicly.” (Tommy Duncan)
Rick Ross Says 50 Cent Is Done As An Artist
Maybach Music Group’s Rick Ross isn’t putting respect on 50 Cent‘s name. The hip-hop heavyweight has shut down the idea of doing a Verzuz battle against his former rival and explained why it’s a wrap – music-wise – for the G-Unit boss.
“Would it really be entertaining? Music-wise? I’m a real dude. 50 Cent had some huge records when he had the biggest producers and artists around him and putting them together. That’s why right now he can’t make nothing. He can’t make [a hit] to save his life. Rozay probably couldn’t save him.”
Game Verzuz 50 Cent Could Happen
Recently, West Coast rapper Game admitted he could see himself doing a Verzuz against 50 Cent. The former G-Unit member said Fifty’s classics going up against his own made the most sense.
“(50) is the only person I would even entertain doing a Verzuz with, because it just makes the most sense and nobody else can really go with me,” Game said. “I’m not sure that we gon’ do it, but if we do, I’m definitely down to sit in a room with him.”
