Rick Ross doesn’t believe that investors in cryptocurrency are actually getting rich, and he wants them to prove it. William Leonard Roberts II, known professionally as Rick Ross, is an American rapper and record executive. He’s not going for all the crypto talk until he sees some proof, it’s time to put up or shut up.
On Monday (May 2), Ross posted a video of himself on his Instagram Story calling out any crypto big shots who claim they are making big money in the metaverse.
What is the Metaverse you might ask? Well, the Metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, it is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets.
Ross was quoted as saying;
“The metaverse, crypto, y’all getting so much money, where you at?” he asked. “Show us. And I don’t mean, ‘Oh, I’m trying to get money.’ Man, I got a lot of money. I don’t need that fake money.”

The Maybach Music Group, Ross added that he wants to see receipts from the crypto kings for their money-making moves.
“Show my homies what the metaverse is all about,” he said. “One of y’all big crypto dudes, gurus, crypto picture-takers, step up and say, ‘This is what we are going to do Rozay.’ Where ya at?”
“All that fake rich money, where’s it at?” he questioned again. “Educate us. I know some rich homies who’s getting money — Bitcoin Rodney — yeah, that boy getting real money, but, come on man, bring that to the Renzel-verse, man.”
Ross mentioned Bitcoin Rodney who is indeed a major player in the crypto game. According to a press release for one of his educational crypto webinars, Bitcoin Rodney, real name Rodney Burton, turned $1,000 in bitcoin into a lucrative empire. Now he teaches others through educational guides, seminars and mentorship about achieving personal wealth through cryptocurrency.
We know Rick Ross is getting money through his many business ventures, including his Wingstop franchises and his partnership with spirits company Luc Belaire. However at this point, none of the crypto kings have stepped up and responded. We will have to wait and see.
Nevertheless, with cryptocurrency continuing to become the future of money exchange, it would only be a matter of time before other celebrities expressed their interest in investing.
Hip Hop artist Nas founded his own company “QueensBridge Venture Partners” in 2014 to help startup companies such as healthcare, entertainment and the digital wallet company, Coinbase. QB Venture Partners has over 3,000 investors. Boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. addressed his Facebook followers about investing in a virtual currency company called Centra. That promotion did not work out to well at all. Actor and recording artist Jamie Foxx promoted Cobinhood in his tweet in 2017. Cobinhood is the world’s first cryptocurrency with free exchange.
Due to the popularity of things that are happening in the Metaverse, this list is quickly getting longer and longer. Stay tuned to this story because the metaverse party is just getting started.
