Rick Ross is expanding his business portfolio. The Maybach Music Group founder who already owns stakes in fast food restaurants such as Wingstop and Checkers, is expanding into health and wellness. According to Forbes, the 44-year-old Ross is making a seven-figure investment into Florida-based telehealth startup Jetdoc.
For Ross, recent health scares played a pivotal role in putting such a large financial cosign into a rising company. Following two seizures — one in 2011 and a second in 2018 where he was hospitalized for more than a week — Ross had a wake-up call.
“I’ve been healthy, an athlete, my entire life,” Ross told the outlet. “But me becoming an artist, me traveling, flying five times a week, up in the studio, up to 20 hours a day, it actually took a toll on me. I’ve made up my mind; I’ve lost 80-plus pounds. I’ve addressed and adjusted certain eating habits, of course, my sleeping habits, which was my largest fault.”
Ross shared news of the investment on Instagram Saturday (January 16) with the Forbes article featuring Jetdoc CEO Tommy Duncan and thanking him for his latest venture.
“BIG THINGS,BIG THINGS,” he wrote. “@forbes much luv for the @myjetdoc positive energy. @tommy2duncan thank you for the huge opportunity brother. Now let’s all tap in! www.JETDOC.com.”
JetDoc is an online health club offering virtual doctor visits for patients for $20. Users can also sign up for a $10 unlimited monthly membership and health insurance isn’t required. Members also receive a discount card offering up to 85 percent off retail prices for prescription medication at most major pharmacies.
Rick Ross Joins Telehealth Company Jetdoc & Calls It 'The Future'
In December 2020, Ross was a guest on Good Morning America and explained what made him such a strong believer in Jetdoc and why he needed a doctor nearly on call.
“That’s what’s really driving me,” he said. “The fact that I’ve had a seizure — And I’ve woke up from being unconscious on the toilet before. And I never even spoke on this before, but, I suffered from seizures for a long time.”
Jetdoc is available on both Google Play as well as Apple’s App store.
While 50 is focused on promoting garbage shows, mmg has a stake in every sector. Ross is poised to be a huge leader in a post covid world while 50 stays being irrelevant with flop shows.
Damn you a hoe, they both are doing it big. Get your tongue out of Ross’ ass.
“I’ve been healthy, an athlete, my entire life,”…. damn this fat slob lies about everything. he been trying to get healthy for like 8 years and he still got the biggest titties in rap

Rick Ross has had a huge bloated gut and big titties for a long time and dude is finessing people trying to claim he is “healthy”.
The time I saw him in a concert taking his shirt off was super gross.
“I’ve been healthy, an athlete, my entire life” Bruh, congratulations on taking your health more seriously, but we saw the correction officer graduation pictures when you was about 20 years old. You was fat as hell then too.
Ross making boss moves as usual I see. This dude wasn’t lying when he said everyday he’s hustlin
He was definitely lying when he said he knows Pablo and Noriega. He also lied when he said haters photoshopped his head on a prison guards body.
