The multifaceted career of Rick Ross
Ross appeared on FOX 32 television to speak about his tour as well as audience reactions across different cities while extending his mentorship for aspiring artists.
The segment focused on promoting his tour and emphasizing that audiences could anticipate “electric” energy and the mixing of previous hits with modern up-and-coming sounds.
During the interview portion of the show, Ross spoke about the Millennium Tour, the importance of supporting new artists like Nino Breeze, and the energy he brings to each performance stop.
The weather segment served as a lighthearted segment, which fans found both simple and humorous, rather than functioning as a promotional tool.
Beyond the stage, Ross has continued to build a formidable presence as an entrepreneur, which is reflected through his investment in Wingstop and Checkers.
When he found the lemon pepper wings of Wingstop, he became an enthusiastic supporter by opening his own franchise locations.
Throughout the years, Ross has purchased more than twenty-five Wingstop restaurants, which operate nationwide. He gave his teenage son a Wingstop franchise on his 16th birthday.
Ross has always seen Checkers as more than just a business operation since it holds personal value to him. During his childhood years in Carol City, Florida, Ross visited the Checkers restaurant many times, as he loved its affordable prices and great taste.
He later bought the Checkers restaurant near his old high school to support the place that helped shape him.
Owning a Checkers franchise helps Ross achieve his childhood aspirations while operating it in his hometown to generate employment opportunities for local people.
Ross showcased his emerging public image through his Good Day Chicago weather segment that extends beyond his musical career.
Participating in the unusual local weather segment allowed Ross to further entertain his audience.
