Rick Ross spent $250,000 on six watches for DJ Khaled, Meek Mill and Wale, among others, in order to celebrate the success of his Mastermind album, according to TMZ.
The site says that the Miami rapper purchased the timepieces from New York jeweler Rafaello & Co.
Rick Ross’s Mastermind appeared as the #1 album on the album chart released March 12 for the week ending March 9. The project sold 179,215 copies its first week of availability.
Mastermind earned a 3 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. “There isn’t anything really compelling about Rick Ross’s fictional tale anymore,” HipHopDX said of the album. “It has become stale. There is no real wiggle room for his kingpin fallacy. There’s only one angle of interest left to explore: the truth. ‘The truth will set you free, son. The truth will set you free,’ executive producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs shouts smugly on ‘Nothing,’ assumedly at opposing rappers pretending to be something they’re not. How ironic. Ross could’ve used that kind of advice himself years ago. Perhaps he’ll take heed before the next mastering.”
A photo of the watch is as follows.

We don’t believe you gusto=officer ricky you need more people
Def jam need to stop buy Masterflop
That topless photo of Ross, covered in diamonds, wearing shades, while smoking and talking on his cell phone indoors is priceless! LMAO!
What a fake, fat, fuck.
Oh another Rick Ross article? Better get my popcorn ready and be preapred for hundreds of comments of back and forth arguing.
The hatred for Rozay is partly why he is so successful, fans love to taunt and torment the haters with stories of success.
We don’t believe u fraud#masterflop
Gusto=officer ricky we know you a fraud
“I just upped my stock, fuck them cops”
LMAO
Album is trash. I actually expected better.
such a waste of money. i hope one of them gets robbed.
whatever nerdy-boy
by one of them while wearing their AP watch, lol
sucks for u
Thats the homie right there. Rozay take care of his team, while 5.0 go around ditching niggas that was ridin for his washed up and ethered career. How yall niggas gon hate on Ross for giving out gifts. My nigga Rozay ballin.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wait 5 years and see who still standing with ross?
Wheres all Diddy’s crew and label? Were State Property and Dame with Jay-Z? Why ain’t Nas and Bravehearts still poppin?
Let me ask you something. Where’s 50’s “loyal” members at? Game’s out, buck’s out, banks out, and yayo out.
No member has left mmg since Ross started it.
Rozay is just that type of dude, he likes feeding his team and seeing his team shine.
Diddy is a superb business man but nearly all his former artists had issues with him over money, business, publishing or some other drama, he might be doing right by Cafe, French and MGK but him blasting Los on that Nobody rant was just foul.
State Property had weak leadership with Beans in and out the Penn but their demise was a product of the split between Dame and Hov as much as it was bad moves by the clique.
Nas is a self professed loner, the fact that he even got these no talent Bravehearts a deal is amazing in itself and you gotta give Nas credit for putting his Brother and his Cousin on evn if he only did it to get them niccaz from eating off him alone.
No crew will stay together forever because egos wont allow it so just do good by your people and let the chips fall were they may.
Yeah. All the members who left bad boy were disloyal to him, working for 50. Of course, 50 has the record of people he betrayed.
One member from the first MMG album, Pill (pretty good too) left the group to pursue his own career achievements.
” 50 has the record of people he betrayed.”
no that would be Diddy.
It’s bs we don’t believe this fraud u need more people
fuk outta here jay-z nut hugger
How come is this news?!?!? Hip Hop DX has officially affirmed their place at the Rick Ross’ Dick Riders Hall Of Fame. What y’all gon say next week? “Rick Ross Buys $50,00 In Toilet Paper”???
Don’t be upset about this story it was on TMZ, of course it isn’t as exciting as the 50Cent stories about product placement in Interscope videos but it will give HHDX another opportunity to piss on Mastermind within the story.
Why do they need watches? All you need is a cellphone to look up time. It’s a fraction of a price of a watch and does a thousand times more.
what happens if you lose or break the cellphone?
you’re too dependent on one piece of technology, not a recipe for success
Your watch is a fashion accessory it can also be a status symbol and a more refined and classy way of keeping time than a cellphone.
Your watch is just a wrist-turn away from giving you the time if you are on a Plane, in a business meeting, in the sauna, driving your Mercedes or attending your godchildrens baptism.
It is a symbol (that just so happens to tell time), nothing more.
When you have one you will understand.
Rick Ross is bigger than 50. Wealth, fame, and net value. Quit dickriding 50.
Fame? you cant be serious,
Wealth? you really cant be serious!!!!
50 is known worldwide in every country and made more than Rick Ross last year with no album, tour or label!
My confidante Rick Ross has the niced moobs in the business. If you think those tittays look good in the picture imagine that they feel like when you can cop a squeeze when he gives you a huge!
No Homo
Also, how long until we get an article about the owner of the store suing ross for unpaid watches?
The owner of the store (Rafaello & CO) said that Rozay had the money wired to them while he was at the store so we have to find another bright spot.
So why doesn’t he do the same to other stores?
Yeah, he ripped off TV Johnny for 90k in jewelry and got sued for it, BAWSE! LOL
Share the wealth Boss, you own enough WingStop franchises to spoil your teammates with some trinkets!
I saw a video on YouTube of Gunplay and Ross performing in a little as nightclub in like 1998-99, and here they are 15 years later with Def Jam deals. Hard work pays off eventually.
Here are videos of the Boss before the beard and trying to get put on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjoEAglRVG4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejxwS-QpayI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Cant believe he didnt get on untill 2006…
I can’t believe Gunplay didn’t give up on his dreams and get a real job serving wings at Wingstop. He stood by Ross carrying his weed for 15 years and now he’s a 35 year old aspiring rapper with no release date in sight and being considered for XXL’s freshman class with a bunch of kids.
That Mastermind is hard as fuck, been had that bish on repeat for a hot minute.
basic watch
wrist
what an excellent use of $250,000.
Thats love to reward your team after a big win, as soon as MasterMind sold 250+ copies Rozay went out and spent $250K on his team.
more like he’ll write it off as a business expense and recoup his spending with their future sales
this is the same guy who spent a mil in a strip club and wrote it off as business
Yeah your poisonous vile little heart just cant fathom brothers within an organization sharing the wealth, Meek already bought Ross a watch and a DC chain for his birthday so find a reason to drip your toxins on that.
LOL these lowlifes are still mad that Dr Dre gave Rozay a 100K Hublot.
I bet Rick Ross cherishes that lil shitty DC chain Meek Mill bought him lol.
he probabaly gave it to his daughter to put on her dolls
Rick Ross buying watches with Meek and Wale budget
Budget…lol
Its probably therapeutic for you to express your hatred but you could have a more fulfilling experience if you attempted to make sense.
Nobody reads your comments, :~(
SMH 250k on watches. fuckin’ moron
u mad bro?
Ross doin it big that’s what’s up album is fire too!!!!
Just like the house they say he brought .we don’t believe you.you need more people fraud
“Yes, One member left:
One member from the first MMG album, Pill (pretty good too) left the group to pursue his own career achievements.”
The whispers about that situation was that Pill was already on WB and when Ross did the deal with WB for his MMG the execs thought it would be a good idea to add Pill but it was short lived and an amicable split with no Gibbs VS Jeezy type drama.
lol i love how officer rickys pr team always put out a price smh
this is to impress the simple minded people who think money is cool wow
MONEY IS COOL NOW?
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE MONEY WASN’T COOL IN RAP??
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE MONEY WASNT COOL… IN REAL LIFE

All these rich people buy expensive watches which is funny to me because I really don’t have the time for these people.
Ever notice how everyone with an expensive watch is a douchebag and ironically a huge waste of time…
Yet you have the time to comment on a Rick Ross post on the internet.
Never go full retard.
Why spend money like normal people when you can waste it like a n*gger?
It’s not ‘wasting money’ if you’re rich. You seem a little jealous. White people can’t stand when we are more sucessful than them. lol
Brother spends money on toys it’s a waste, white dude does the same and nothing is said!
All three of these comments above are absolute shite. Make it four with this one.
WHO GIVES A FUCK
Fat black girls do
BAWSE
yo ricky why dont you buy 50 a hit record wile your at it lmao
all ya’ll hoe ass nigas taling shit bout the boy rozay come to virginia! we can go blow for blow right there in the street if you wanna talk shit! AND if you still want BEEf after i knock yo grillz out ya mouth i can eazily set the younguns on you.. and u no dese young boyz keeps their gats loaded rigth. holla at me if you want to fight you bitch nigas
Your gonna fight someone or send your “goons” to defend some studio gangster? Lmfao, you’re such a kid. I would come to Virginia but honestly there’s no point driving there from MD just to look for a fight over a fake ass rapper. Knockin grillz out ya mouth? What are you, stuck in 2005? No one wears grillz anymore. And last time I checked, real gangsters tried killing his ass.
It ain’t like you’re gonna get rewarded. That fat fuck isn’t gonna buy you a watch for having his back.
I’ll gladly fight you. Anywhere, anytime, any place. I highly doubt I’ll break a sweat, though. I’ve won the Golden 7 times in a row. In fact, here’s a video of me training Meek Mill.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tEEisu26Sg
*Golden Gloves Championship
ayo “virginia g” yeah homie, holla at me i’ll fight you. Im at virginia nex month so i’ll happily have a swing at u coz ross a bitch ass niqqa… AND i’ll bring my 9 for your “youngns” after i beat yo ass.
179K LOL ROSS IS DONE BY NEXT YEAR
That’s what a real boss does support his team congrats to ross for dropping another number 1 album that is fire by the way and having the best label in rap right now
lmao best label in rap?
And….
Has DJ Khaled ever heard of an invention called the razor?
YOU SHAVE YOUR ARM HAIRS FAM???
Nope. I get my wrists/body waxed so I don’t end up looking like a bear.
nicca said he gets his wrists waxed
DX needs to switch to Disqus…. these comments are lame.
Or the FB login, the 50 Troll guy would be crushed.
naw son i be on discuss too.
Pay no mind to the comment below. I didn’t write that & it was probably just an eager young fan of mine. Anyway, as much as I would have loved to have the boss buy me a new platinum watch, I had to decline since I’m already wearing a state of the art Casio watch. Even though it’s $25 dollars, it’s both stylish and functional.
Hey Rosie, sure would like to get to know you a little better, wanna facetime tonight? LMK
Man, I wanna lick on them big ol titties soo bad, he’s such a Bear, I would totally be his daddy cub.
BAAAWWSEES MAKE BAAAWSEE MOVES.

#RICKYROZAYWINNING
it’s funny because Meek Mill probably don’t know how to tell time on a clock with arms and no numbers that ain’t digital.
Right because all black people lack intelligence and education right?
Tax write off. He bought his employees gifts.
that he will probably take back out of their album budgets or sales
Why does he looks like such a disgusting slob in all his pics?
He needs to hit the gym and start eating right before it’s too late.
Really? I love his big ol fat boobies, man I wanna titty fuck him so fast right now, what a Grizzly! Mmmmmmmm
DJ Khaled seems to benefit and gain so much from his associations without having any real talent or skills.
He’s a CEO, DJ, producer, writer, and AR.
he’s a hypeman
wtf does DJ Khaled write besides checks to hookers?
People with no connection to music are baffled by Khaled but people who actually fuck with music recognize what he does and salute his talent for conducting studio sessions as an exec-prod and as an A&R and putting together more Gold and Platinum records than your favorite DJ.
“and putting together more Gold and Platinum records than your favorite DJ.”
my favorite DJ is DJ Premier.
You couldn’t do his job for five minutes.
What job? This guy’s the biggest leach in the music industry.
You’re right, because the nigga DON’T DO SHIT.
I see you
you give them some accurate info and they choose to be dumb
that’s when you let them be just that
salute
Quit talking to yourself. You have no accurate info.
I don’t care, good for his losing team!
At the end of the day, you know im sayin, we making moves. We winnin, I dont have time for all these frivelous comments about the Bawwwse. Im a Bawwwse, and I do Bawwwse things ya underdig. At the end of the day, Im the nigga that moved 100k keys of yayo just to make it out the hood, you know what im sayin? MMG We here baby.
I just watched a 21 second interview where he talks about Diddy’s new album and he said “you know” 9 times in 20 seconds! Thats way worse than 50 sayin actual.
“to celebrate the success of his Mastermind album” Success?! Where?! His album keep selling less and less on every release!!!
What other 2014 hip hop album is selling more?
The year ain’t over yet and there’s still tons of releases.
It’s barely March you tard! Plus I’m Pharrell homo ass finna sell more
This is great news, whites get highly upset when we do positive things for each other, they prefer news about Bosses shitting on their artists and talking about them being lazy because it fits the stereotype of Negros being unable to work together.
Meek and Wale bought Ross watches and chains for his B-Day so this isnt some random act of generosity they always going each other cars, chains, watches and mo em over silly bets.
Rich Black men enjoying the fruits of their labor.
More like faggots showing their love.
no way in hell a nigga like Meek Mill can tell the time on a watch like dat.
That’s why you always have an entourage with you so they can tell you what time it is. Meek may be dumb, but he ain’t stupid.
bruh are you saying its smart to keep an entourage with you because you don’t know how to read a clock?
This is fucking shameful, what a piece of shit that fat fuck is… 250K on timepieces?! There are kids on this planet without proper drinking water… and he blows a quarter million on watches. Not that surprising i guess coming from the brain responsible for the retarded shit he passes as music.
Meanwhile, the REAL Freeway Rick Ross is helping communities with what cash he has.
Mastermind was garbage.
The real Ross was a piece of shit drug dealer who destroyed communities and who would do it all again if he could.
He did his time get over it. You could be a crack baby so I understand you’re mad about how you developed because of your mom’s habit, but what he did does not make Rozay right about what he does, he’s just as bad man.
” There are kids on this planet without proper drinking water… and he blows a quarter million on watches”
Wait, so now the fact that there are malnourished people out there is Rick Ross’ fault? Just because the nigga is rich now he’s supposed to play Superman and do the work of the government? Anyway, since you seem so worried to heal the world, ask yourself this, nigga: what are YOU doing to heal it?
Mastermind was garbage? Check the scoreboard you know wha im sayin, we winnin. MMG all we do is win at the end of the day. The Bawse dont got time to be handlin frivelous comments on these fuck boy blogs ya underdig? The Bawse you know wha Im sayin was 17 chargin niggas 17 and i know the real Noreaga ya underdig. Im a BAWSE you know, MMG baby we winnin ya underdig?
Wait, so now the fact that there are malnourished people out there is Rick Ross’ fault?
Um yeah, he ate up everything, look at him.
bang bang i doos think dat ricky rozay be lackin in these screetz i got that 30 n niggas from lamron an em be no lackin puttin goofies 6 feet deep if u fuck with the jello we gonna take this 30 and put ur brainz in puddin we not lackin we holdin 30s lamron 300 300 hunna abcdefg hijklemenop. dad be the shiit i don like
Off topic but the chick in the background of the Ross pic on the front page has some of the ugliest lip injections I have ever seen. What the hell was she thinking? Im sure her lips were big enough already.
just like he brought hollyfied mansion lol.we dont believe fraud u need more people#masterflop
did he died?
I know I clicked the article. But why is this news? What’s the point? And why does RR look like he’s taking a shit topless, smoking and talking on the phone? With his jewels and sunglasses on.
Lmao. moneyyyy
“He did his time get over it”
According to the state, not to society who will shun this nigga till he dies.
Society wouldn’t care as they have bigger issues than a man who done his time.
“What job? This guy’s the biggest leach in the music industry”
He’s not a leach if someone is willing to pay him big bucks to basically arrange talent for songs. Would you respect him more if he produced all the songs you say are shit? Of course not, so shut the fuck up already.
He is a leech, leeching off of the most popular artists of the moment.
“It’s barely March”
There are no major releases coming out in April, moron.
Whatever helps you sleeps at night.
Just cop mastermind today. Listened to it top to bottom. Its not Rozay’s best Album (Deeper than Rap,Teflon Don were his best n Classics->Port of Miami had some classic tracks tho however those two albums were Rozay’s Best)But the album is dope.The album flowed from start to finish.Exceptional Tracks were Rich is Gangsta, Nobody, Devil is a Lie, Mafia Music 3, What a shame, and Blk n Wht.
Album could hv done with more productions from the Usual suspects Cool n Dre, The Inkredibles, Justice League, The Runners,DJ Toomp, JR Rotem…u know the usual producers whose production work well to Rozay’s Rapping style.
Someone’s gonna get hit with a couple of mil in back taxes real soon…
ooohhh big f’n deal….
mastermind will not go gold….trust!!!
Who cares if it does or doesn’t. Album #7 is on the way nothing else matters.
Let us encourage MMG to do something fun like this every week so we can troll the G Unit people and make them sad.
I hope they do this every week so I can look at their instagrams while I stroke my schlong.
@detroitshady you dont have an IG or a shlong, you have a desktop Intel computer and a weenie
I’m on twitter, IG, Kik, Disqus, plus Boxden! Gotta get all the MMG info I can.
“He is a leech, leeching off of the most popular artists of the moment”
If they agree to jump on his albums then it’s more them needing the work than Khaled begging for their services.
Nope, it’s the other way around.
SHoW Em RicK
Thats how a boss move…he take care of his..when you win they win
The 50 Lovers are angry and upset with this HaHa! I love it!
No, it’s only the Ross lovers who are angry and upset.
Everybody Please support and download my wonderful album.I would greatly appeciated it. Go Support Real Music!!
