The “Banned From TV” rapper isn’t the first Hip-Hop star who has owned cars before possessing a legal driver’s license. According to Complex, Rick Ross also announced that he had owned about 100 cars before getting his license in 2021.
“I actually was driven to the test. I do have over 100 cars and I just hadn’t had my license,” Rozay laughed. “So, whenever I go joyriding, it was just one of those things. … But it’s something about my smile. Every time I get pulled over, by the time the officers walked up, they like, ‘Go ’head, Rozay. We know you good.’”
What “Drink Champs” is doing right now is necessary and needed. They are getting the legends on & letting them be themselves.
I hope ya’ll got something real special for the King of R&B though. https://t.co/gn1cEtkn7H
