‘This is How You Stay Rich Forever’: Rick Ross Gives Back to People of Angola and Fans React 

Last week, Rick Ross received backlash on social media after the rapper revealed that he was creating a reality show about wealth despite his past comments about television not being a lucrative way to make money.

On April 17, fans began singing a different tune after Ross used his fortune to bless the people of Angola. Angola is located in southern Africa. Ross, who went to Africa for a scheduled performance, was seen spending time with and giving money to the townspeople.

In addition to the various clips and photo, Ross expressed in the caption how love is the most valuable thing in the world. He wrote, “Love is priceless. Woke up Easter morning in Angola and chose to walk amongst the people the day of Resurrection. A day of hope.”

As fans viewed the Miami native’s upload, many mentioned in the comments section that Ross’ compassion and generosity toward others shows why he is so successful. 

“This is how you stay rich forever love this.”

“That is awesome @richforever keep up the good energy my brother. you don’t know how you just made my day seeing this.”

“That’s what’s up .Y’all don’t give Rick enough respect dude really be staying out the way and making lanes for others.”

“Before being an excellent professional, be a good human being! You really showed that you are a good human being.”

That person wrote, “I love how Ross always goes to see how the people really living. From rich Africa to poor Africa, man’s has seen it all. Bless and protect the Boss at all costs!”

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.
