Rick Ross Offered to Rent Out His Mansion for $1 Million Following Reported Tax Lien

Rick Ross offered up his mansion in Fayetteville, Ga., as an Airbnb rental for Super Bowl Sunday, and he priced it at $1 million for a one-day stay.

The offer comes at a time when the Miami rapper has reportedly been hit with a $1.5 million tax lien from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which sparks the question if Rozay is renting out the property as just a side hustle or if he really needs the money.

A video with the rapper making the offer surfaced on Saturday, Feb. 2, when he said he might pay a visit to the person who would stay there.

“Getting a lot of calls for places to stay. $1 million Airbnb. The promise land estates, one day, Super Bowl Sunday,” he said. “All amenities included. I might even throw in a walk through from The Boss.”

According to reports, the former prison guard failed to pay $254,341.70 in 2014 and $1,294.059.88 in 2016, equaling the $1.5 million so the lien was filed last month.

The news of this recent tax lien comes after the “Rich Forever” rapper just paid off a $4 million tax debt in October of 2018. Hot 97 reports that Ross failed to pay $4,617,370.86 in 2012 and was hit with the lien in 2016.

As far as the Airbnb offer, no word yet if there were any takers, but a lot of folks thought it was ridiculous.

“Hell nah, for 1 million dollars I can invest in my own rap career and be a bigger star,” someone wrote.

Rick Ross’ last album was 2017’s “Rather You Than Me,” and he’s currently signed to Epic Records. He also runs his own label Maybach Music Group, and its roster includes Meek Mill and Wale.

Rozay’s Georgia mansion was once owned by boxing great Evander Holyfield, and the rapper purchased it in 2014. You can see his Airbnb offer below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
