Meanwhile, US-based Nigerian Hip Hop artiste, Yung6ix has shared a video to give some clarity as to why American rap star, Rick Ross didn’t link up with rappers during his visit to Lagos.

It may be recalled that in April 2022, the Maybach Music boss flew to Nigeria for his Rick Ross Live In Lagos concert.

However, after he arrived the commercial capital, he met mostly comedians, actors and influencers, with only one rapper among the bunch.

In a video Yung6ix posted, he replied those who raised questions over Ross’ failure to have a meet and greet with Nigerian rappers.

Yung6ix who often refers to himself as the one true rapper, suggested that it was because of his absence that Ross snubbed every other rap artiste.

He said; ”There is no way I would say this that it won’t be offensive to somebody. But I don’t care. People were saying Rick Ross didn’t acknowledge any Nigerian rapper when he came to Nigeria. Did you not know that the only Nigerian rapper was in America?”
