Rick Ross appeared on the Full Send Podcast and spoke about his time as a correctional officer, something that shocked the rap community when it was revealed years ago. It was the mid-90s and he said he didn’t last long at it, nor did he enjoy it. He said he was “maybe 20” at the time and never worked in actual prisons.
“I didn’t really get to make it to the prison, because you gotta go through training and all that and I didn’t last long,” he said at the 46:50 point of the episode above. “I lasted four months before they said…I was a little tardy.” As for why he pursued the job for a while, he said, “One of my big homies had just got in trouble, and a lot of people…a lot of things were going on. He just suggested it.”
When asked if he enjoyed it, he said “I didn’t. Anything you gotta really do, you fucking running and jogging,” he said and went on to speak about his “horrendous” paycheck which amounted to “500 bucks like every two weeks.” While he didn’t stick with the career, obviously, he almost went into training to become a firefighter instead. When one of the hosts suggested it would be funny to have Rozay sent out to deal with a fire, he replied, “You would probably burn like a fucking piece of chicken.”
