Meek's Story - Rick Ross revealed that Meek Mill may have to serve his entire six-month bid after several attempts to grant the Philly MC early release for a parole violation never came to pass.Keeping his young protégé’s name ringing in the streets, Ross explained, “I feel that we’ve got our hopes and spirits up on several occasions and we were let down so I said I wouldn’t feed into that. At the end of the day, the judge said it was potentially up to six months.She wanted to sit him down and give him certain courses that she felt that he needed to go over and, like I told him, ‘We not gon' fight the system. We gon' work with her,’ and whatever she need and what she’s asking for so the homey can get home as soon as possible.’" (Photo: Shareif Ziyadat/FilmMagic)

Drop When I Want - Rick Ross just dropped his seventh album and it marks the second album he’s dropped in 2014. Only certain greats like DMX and Jay Z have released full new projects within a year’s time and Ross drew on them for inspiration. “That was one of the reasons, to be in the class with the some of the greats. Why not flood the block. I wouldn’t necessarily call them brother albums but just two albums in one year and I just wanted to make sure that they both played their part. Master Mind was definitely a more soulful and wordy album and Hood Billionaire is more 808 bass heavy…club feel, let’s have a good time.” (Photo: Tom Meinelt / Splash News)

Reebok Been Back...U.O.E.N.O. - Ross hasn’t been quiet about his weight loss and Reebok helping him with his cross-fit exercise regime. Although he wouldn’t get into details, it was clear that he and the sports apparel brand were back on good terms after they released him from his endorsement contract last year over his controversial date rape lyrics off Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” “I been on my Ross fit. Just working out, it’s really cross fit but you just might hit a blunt in the middle of a sit-up every now and then. It’s all love. We still shinning. I had two seizures and that’s what made me get on my A-game. That’s what made me start eating a little bit better, eating pears and fruits, and I had to get me a chef. That coincided with the workout and I’m not trying to get no particular weight." (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

Blowing Smoke - Ricky Rozay also has a new endorsement deal with an herbal electronic vaporizer company. Speaking of his latest boss move, the 305 representer stated, “I’m an ambassador of that company. This past summer I was offered a very lucrative cigarette deal but since I don’t smoke squares, I had to make up for that and I vape like a boss anyway so I got with the number-one company, mCigs."
