The story of former drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross may soon be brought to life in an upcoming film thanks to actor/rapper Nick Cannon. Appearing alongside Ross in a YouTube video posted on the “Freeway” Rick Ross Facebook fan page, Cannon revealed that a biopic may soon be in the works.
Cannon made mention of telling the story of “the real Rick Ross” and even referred to the biopic as “history in the making.”
“This is history in the making right here…We family now. We gonna get this thing right however long it take. The story gotta be told. The real Rick Ross. So we gonna get it done,” Cannon revealed.
According to Ross, who met Cannon years ago, the actor may even portray him in the biopic.
“I’ve been wanting him to play my role since ’96. We got hooked up, I met him I loved his personality,” said Ross. “You know what I’m saying?”
No other details on the possible “Freeway” Rick Ross biopic were revealed during the brief video.
“Freeway” Rick Ross gained notoriety in the early 80’s as a drug trafficker in Los Angeles and was later sentenced to life in prison in 1996.

Looking forward to this they been talking bout it for a long time but i bet Officer Ricky isn’t very happy lol
Well I’m glad it is a biopic of the real Rick Ross. I really am.
They couldn’t pick anyone else more fitting? Was there literally no one else? What the fuck..
they already made a movie about the fake rick ross starring chris rock! it was called CB4!!!
Nick Cannon? Another movie to skip.
just get mmg rick ross to play him. hes been practicing his whole life for the role
too fat
HAAAAAAHAAAAA WTF? they go an pick bitchboy nick cannon to play a real nigg@ like Rick Ross?
We are talking about Mariah Careys lap dog here right?
like Johnny Depp is a real pirate, smh.
Yeah, dat nigga Johnny Depp aka Jack Sparrow is a real ass pirate. He be going around on his gangsta ass pirate ship raiding cruise boats and shit, and grabbing all the booty (loot and bitches). He be dodging storms and shit like he superman and other pirate crewz are some jealous pussy ass pirates. And after his work is done, he chills in la with his main bitch. Dat’s a real ass muthafucker right thurr. Captain hook and Patchy the Pirate ain’t got shit on this nigga.
lmao the real rick ross bout to get his goons on this clown
what goons? last i seen he had the NYPD guarding his hotel in New York City
gunplay? that coke fiend who keeps getting knocked out on camera and got his chain in the new 50 cent video?
Dont care if rick ross co-signs it i refuse to watch or listen to anything involving that soft cunt cannon
I thought Rick Ross was playin’ Freeway Rick Ross? 😉
He can’t beat the fake Rick Ross in court, and now he has the dishonor of cosigning Mr. Mariah Carey to play him in a movie destined to go straight to Redbox. The L’s just keep on coming.
“like Johnny Depp is a real pirate”
Unlike Nick, he can actually act.
This sounds worse than Belly 2.
This is a joke, right? I’d rather see William Roberts play Freeway Ricky than fucking Nick Cannon. This nigga couldn’t get someone else to play him in a movie.
william roberts is out of the question, that nigga wont even acknowledge that he stole this mans name. he wants to front like he made it up from his high school nick name big boss
william roberts is going to play MC Gusto in the CB4 remake
LOOOOOOL….U GOTTA BE KIDDIN RIGHT LOOOOOOOOOL….THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE LMAO…LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL…THIS HAS MADE MY DAY. THE BEST JOKE OF THE YEAR SO FAR..THANKS HHDX…LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Identify Yourself
They picked a corny nigga to step into the role of a drug kingpin? What’s this world coming to?
nick cannon is still realer than william roberts

@anonymous
Hey dumbass nigga get off my dick. Nigga u respond to all my posts so obviously you give a shit about Ross. How is Ross my idol? I’m a fan of the music I dont give a shit about his personal like all you bitch made faggots on this site. How does Ross being a CO effect me. So unlike some bitter ass niggas on this site Im about the music not aobut some other niggas life. Get off my nuts. U respond to all my posts.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the music is just as bad as his fake bullshit made up life
hes your idol because you defend him on every article, name yourself after him, say BAWSEE after every comment,
Way too many archive comments of you talking s**t about other rappers’ lives for you to try that now. The first archive is the re-post c&p you use all the time to say all rappers are fake. That ain’t about the music moron. Stick to trolling before you get ethered.
Rick Rozay made u look stupid!
Nick Cannon still more real that “Rozay”!
NICK CANNON IS AN ACTOR, YOU WASTE OF FUCKING BANDWIDTH!!!
WAS DENZEL WASHINGTON A HARDCORE GANGSTER BEFORE HE PLAYED FRANK LUCAS???
ALL YOU DO IS HATE…AND NOT IN THE “HIPHOP” SENSE OF THE WORD, YALL LITERALLY HATE!
1) On the left-hand side of your keyboard, there’s a long button that says “Caps” or “Caps Lock”. That button is clearly lit, so please tap it once, and do not type anything else until you have done so.
2) Stop using the word “hate” (or any of its variants) to describe a person who criticizes another celebrity against your will. It makes you look like an uninformed stan. And stupid.
no doubt this role belongs to the realest nigga alive, Ja Rule,.. rule has fucked every bitch in the world including hellen keller and took it in the ass up in the state just to prove how comfortable he is with his own sexuality, in fact he fucks 50 cent with the meat cleaver to prove how not gay he is..
it’s gonna take some damn good acting for anyone to be convinced that this man is a drug dealer
Come on now. It might work if it’s billed as a comedy.
i cant wait for the Officer Ricky life story/comedy film
laugh even more download porno dick on itunes
If goofy azz Jamie Foxx can play a Slave turned Slave Master Killer, surely Nick Cannon can play a Drug dealer, a route he probably could of chose if his parents didnt raise him right. But if the Acting is bad then thats a Different Story!
you’re a fucking idiot… Jamie Foxx is a serious actor. ever heard of a movie called ‘Ray’, for instance?
anyone could have played that role, yeah its so hard pretending to be blind and fucked up on drugs
Hey fools, this movie will get made the same day Soulja Boy’s Juice remake, Bone Thug’s Ghetto Cowboy movie, and Cam’Ron’s version of Curb Your Enthusiasm all get made. Movies cost money and rappers and black people don’t have that kind of money. Even Spike Lee can’t get funding for his films. Also, no one will see a movie about some gangster, starring the untalented Nick Cannon. So everyone calm down.
Nick Cannon getting a movie out>>>>>>>>>what you said
Like you know what someone wants to watch.
biopic my ass. this shit is going to be mostly fiction.
I think you got the wrong Rick Ross if you’re talking fiction. This one’s the rat.
“they already made a movie about the fake rick ross starring chris rock! it was called CB4!!!”
QFT!
How in the hell should Nick Cannon act Freeway Rick Ross – Absurd
Wat?!Nick Cannon to play Freeway Ricky?Might as well get Macaulay Culkin to do it!
that could be interesting
get the baws ricky raws to play him cos hes official and real
lol good one, hes too fat but he is a great actor, hes been in character for years now
They should holla at my nigga Will Smith. The fresh prince moved bricks yo
I like how the title says that Cannon will portray Ricky in the movie, but in the body of the interview it says that Ricky says Nicky may portray him. Why does this story need to be told? What exactly will it contribute to society?
It will contribute the real story of how the CIA flooded America’s Black communities with cocaine on purpose,the Iran-Contra affair, etc. Are you aware of that stuff? This is not just another drug dealer hood story. This is literally the man that was used as the pawn to destroy life as we knew it.
a man that couldnt read when he was given a life sentence so he taught himself how to read in prison then hit the library studying law until he found a way to beat appeal his case. represented himself in court and now hes free.
thats if they add that to the movie
Nigga don’t even look like the REAL Rick Ross.
i saw pictures last week of tony yayo with the full beard and he looked just like him!
this is coming out after Drumline 2
It’s a lot of Nick Cannon haters on here and I don’t get why, maybe because I’m in my 30’s but I don’t get why so many people leaving butt-hurt comments on who Nick is and how soft he is and blah blah blah. That’s a grown azz man. Wtf are you doing tomorrow? You want dude to murder somebody or slap somebody or what? People work hard, be honest about who they are and “Anonymous” posts talking mad shit and whining and then goes and downloads whatever fake gangbanger rapper that’s hot at the moment and cosigns him. Like wtf do you dudes want?
Kill yourself for defending that corny wack nigga.
Stopped reading after you used the word “haters”. Step out of 2002 and try again.
“ever heard of a movie called ‘Ray'”
That movie was so over hyped.
most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, 2pac a ballerina. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new Biggie.
BAWSE!!!!!
everyone you named is 100 times realer than william roberts. he dont get all this hate for nothing.
” I’m a fan of the music I dont give a shit about his personal like all you bitch made faggots on this site. How does Ross being a CO effect me. So unlike some bitter ass niggas on this site Im about the music not aobut some other niggas life.”
Most yall niggas trippin, they aint even talkin bout Rick Ross…
they talking about the real rick ross
This movie would be better if it was about me
Nick Cannon? Get the fuck out of here. Idris Elba? No doubt.
NAH NAH TYPE IN ‘TONY YAYO BEARD’ IN GOOGLE. DUDE LOOKS JUST LIKE FREEWAY RICK ROSS!! DUMP THE CLIP ON THAT BITCH NICK CANNON AND HIT YAYO UP TRUSTTTTTT BUT DA NICCA LOOK LIKE HE IN A MENTAL ASYLUM THO
Nas fabricated mafia stories back in the day which seem even more silly now considering all the tax problems he’s been having. Ross may not be 100% credible either, but at least you don’t hear about this guy bouncing a check at Sav Mart.
