In continuation of his lifelong endeavors to give back to the community and the next generation of world-changing entrepreneurs, Ross is joining forces with The Creative Collective NYC, the largest community dedicated to empowering Black creatives and entrepreneurs, with a portion of the auction proceeds benefiting The Boss Up Grant Program. The Boss Up Grant program will empower fearless entrepreneurs with grants to accelerate their continued impact and business initiatives and scale their operations.  

“I looked around one day and marveled at how blessed I am. I wanted to figure out how to be a blessing to others and share some of the dopest, rarest luxuries with the world that I’ve collected over the course of my career,” said Rick Ross. “Inspired by my brother Pharrell (Williams), I thought of an auction with the proceeds to help the next generation of bosses. It was the most player and sustainable way to not only touch my fans but also pour into a community that has poured into me.”  (Franky Cardona Signed Luc Belaire “Rare Rose” Champagne Painting.

Rick Ross burst onto the music scene with his debut album Port of Miami in 2006, achieving Platinum status and setting the stage for his trailblazing career as an influential figure in modern hip-hop music. His albums, Trilla, Deeper Than Rap, and Teflon Don, solidified his place as a rap titan with anthems such as “Hustlin’,” “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” and “Aston Martin Music.”

As CEO of Maybach Music Group, Ross launched the careers of chart-topping talent and changed the face of rap music and culture. Known for his renowned business portfolio of restaurants, spirits, and packaged goods, “larger than life” persona, and vivid lyrical imagery often describing affluence, wealth, and luxury, Ross’ impact transcends beyond music and his business ventures, resonating in his passion for giving back to the global community through philanthropic work focused on children in underrepresented communities.  Victor Solomon 24K Gold Plated Stained Glass Basketball Hoop with Swarovski Crystal Net.

“Throughout every hood in America, and especially the world, there are hardworking, loyal and driven people whose ambitions force them into dreaming and envisioning better circumstances for themselves,” said Rick Ross. “How can I create a way out for myself and my family? Even the most motivated people have to feel empowered to chase and pursue those big ideas, and through this charitable effort with The Creative Collective, the aim is to provide entrepreneurs and young hustlers with the push they need to become legendary.”

Rick Ross’ love for the streets and his career-defining elevation of street culture and living to a luxury level through music, fashion, and art will be represented in this event–Julien’s first curated auction collection of a Hip-Hop icon.  800 items featuring Ross’ famous convergences with the world’s biggest artists, designers, couture fashion houses and beyond, as well as some of his most personal and cherished collectibles from his luxury homes, will rock the auction block. 

“Everything I do is for those who have supported me and got it out the trunk with Rozay,” said Rick Ross. “We gotta touch the streets as an homage to them. So, we definitely wanted to do this For the Love, and so the streets can forever have a piece of Ricky Rozay history.”
