Ross and West have collaborated on several hit songs in the past, including “Monster,” “Devil in a New Dress,” and “Live Fast, Die Young.”
In a second video posted to HipHopDX, Ross elaborated on his plan to sign West.
“But like I’m saying, I’m a creative. I’m an artist,” Ross said. “Imagine if Ye came and allowed MMG to distribute his new project. Imagine that. What’s your favorite Rick Ross-Ye collab? Imagine that. Imagine the artistic drive.”
He added, “And I got some amazing ideas for the Yeezy brand. Let’s speak.”
It’s unclear if West is interested in signing with Maybach Music Group, but Ross is clearly serious about making it happen.
