DC Young Fly Drops a Truth Bomb: Rick Ross Ditches Black Podcast for White One—What’s Really Going On Behind the Mic?

Added on July 20, 2025 inEntertainment News Cards

You ever get ghosted by someone, then find out they’ve been happily chatting away with someone else? Yeah, me too. And let me tell you, DC Young Fly is feeling that vibe hard after Rick Ross pulled a classic disappearing act mid-interview on the 85 South Show back in 2021—no warning, no nothing—then turned around and spilled his whole story like a polite guest on a white-owned podcast. It’s like Mercury retrograde messing with our communication, except here, it’s all about respect and where you choose to drop your truth bombs. DC’s not just about the laughs; he’s pointing out a deeper issue about loyalty within the culture. So, what happens when the vibe’s off but the story still gets told—just somewhere else? Wonder if the stars have a take on this little drama. LEARN MORE.

DC Young Fly called out Rick Ross for ghosting an interview on the 85 South Show and then giving an in-depth sit-down to a white-owned podcast, reigniting a years-old moment that never quite sat right with him.

The tension dates back to 2021, when Ross abruptly walked off the set mid-interview during a taping of the 85 South Show, hosted by DC Young Fly, Karlous Miller and Chico Bean. No explanation. No heads-up. Just gone.


But what really got under DC’s skin? Ross later gave what DC described as a “respectful and full” interview on another podcast—one not Black-owned—where he even addressed topics the 85 South crew didn’t touch, like his past as a correctional officer.

Speaking on the “Rory and Mal” podcast, DC explained his resentment. “It’s the fact that you left our show and went and did a white podcast and did a full-blown interview,” he said. “And they asked you the questions that we didn’t even ask you.”

Ross tried to brush it off on Instagram, saying he showed up to the 85 South Show “to show love” and left because of “urgent matters.” 

He joked about wasting a Gucci jacket on the shoot and not having lemon pepper wings from Wingstop, the chain he’s famously affiliated with.


DC Young Fly Responds To Rick Ross

Nonetheless, DC wasn’t buying it.

He responded on Instagram, pointing out that every guest, including the likes of Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, T.I. and Boosie, has appeared on the show for free. 

“U kno it’s all love but nobody gets paid cause the culture bigger than the money!!!!” he wrote on Instagram. “The impact we make last a LIFE TIME!!! Our doors is always open OG.”

He also clapped back at Ross’s food complaint, saying there were “200 lemon pepper wings in the back” and even joked about buying the rapper’s “wasted” Gucci jacket for his son.

DC made it clear there’s no beef, just a matter of respect. “If you got somewhere to go, just let us know how much time you got so we can get the best out of it,” he said. “Don’t just leave.”
