Rick Ross Puts 50 Cent Back on Read, Names His Own Album AOTY
The Rozay-Fif beef stays warm, and Ross just threw another shot while crowning himself.

Rick Ross isn't done with 50 Cent, and he made that crystal clear. While taking shots at his old rival, Rozay turned around and declared his own project the album of the year—Set In Stone—a move that's part flex, part middle finger to the whole conversation.
The two have been circling each other for years, and every time you think it's buried, one of them finds a way to bring it back to life. Ross doing both at once—disrespecting Fif while simultaneously putting his own work on a pedestal—is peak rapper energy: can't let it go, won't let it rest.
Whether Set In Stone actually lands that crown depends on who you ask, but that's not really the point. This is about Ross reminding people he's still here, still relevant, and still willing to remind 50 that their chapter isn't closed. The Fif-Ross dynamic has always been messy and personal, and this latest move proves it ain't going nowhere anytime soon.
