In a recent episode of the popular podcast “85 South Show,” comedian DC Young Fly opened up about his feelings regarding rapper Rick Ross’s abrupt departure from a previous episode. The incident sparked a lively discussion, leading to DC’s candid reflections on respect and communication in the entertainment industry.
During the episode, DC expressed hurt feelings over Ross leaving without explanation. He emphasized the importance of mutual respect, stating that while Ross is a prominent figure in hip-hop, a simple heads-up about his departure would have sufficed. “You see, we come to your show, and we do it for free. I came to show love,” DC said, highlighting that many guests, including himself, participate in the podcast without any financial compensation.
DC’s comments were particularly pointed when he contrasted the treatment Ross received on a different podcast, where he was asked direct questions, including about his past as a correctional officer. “We would have never asked you no like that,” DC remarked, underscoring his disappointment in the perceived lack of respect shown to him and his team. He questioned why Ross would choose to answer such questions on a different platform rather than engage with the “85 South Show” hosts.
Rick Ross responded to the situation in his own style, acknowledging that he had left early due to prior commitments but reiterated that he appeared on the show to support and show love. “I came to your podcast. I came for free, homie,” he stated, adding that he regretted if his actions were misinterpreted. Ross also made light of the situation, mentioning his “nice ass Gucci jacket” and suggesting that next time, there should be some of his famous lemon pepper wings on hand.
The back-and-forth highlighted the complexities of relationships in the entertainment business, where public personas often clash with personal feelings. DC Young Fly emphasized the need for open communication, suggesting that Ross should have simply communicated his time constraints. “Just say something so we can know what’s going on,” he urged.
As the conversation progressed, both men expressed a desire for a resolution, with DC inviting Ross to his upcoming pool party. He reiterated that the incident should not escalate further, emphasizing that their relationship is built on mutual love and respect. “Make this right, dog,” DC concluded, urging Ross to reach out directly rather than relying on publicists or social media.
This exchange reflects broader themes in the entertainment industry, where respect and communication are crucial for maintaining professional relationships. As both comic and rapper navigate their respective careers, their dialogue serves as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and addressing misunderstandings in a world where public perception can easily overshadow personal connections.
