Rick Ross and DC Young Fly are no strangers to going viral—but this time, it’s not over a song or a punchline. Social media lit up after fans caught wind of a brewing tension between the two. It all started with a seemingly harmless interview memory, but what followed was a digital sparring match filled with receipts, shade, and a Gucci jacket caught in the crossfire.

Is A Beef Brewing Between DC Young Fly & Rick Ross?
Recently, DC Young Fly appeared on the ‘New Rory & MAL’ podcast and gave his take on Rick Ross mysteriously vanishing from his 2021 sit-down with the ’85 South’ Show crew. According to DC, Ross’ departure didn’t sit right—especially after he allegedly bounced mid-interview to head to another podcast that was, in DC’s words, “a white podcast.”
Ross didn’t take kindly to the commentary and responded through a series of Instagram Stories, filmed poolside, where he reminded the crew that he showed up for “free” and wore a Gucci jacket for what he now considers a wasted moment. He added that he didn’t walk out disrespectfully and lightly shaded the show by suggesting they prepare lemon pepper wings if they ever want him back.

DC Young Fly Doubles Down
Apparently, Rick Ross’ response lit a fire under DC, who clapped back fast. He made it clear Ross wasn’t the only celebrity who had pulled up to ’85 South’ without a check. DC even listed off names like T.I., Boosie, Busta Rhymes, and Snoop Dogg. DC reminded Ross that the show didn’t need a co-sign and was the biggest podcast before and after his appearance. But, DC didn’t just defend the show—he extended an invitation for Ross to return and even jokingly offered to buy the “wasted” Gucci jacket. As for those wings? DC confirmed Wingstop grub was already in the studio; Ross just didn’t stick around to enjoy it. In true ’85 South’ fashion, the message was part roast, part real talk—but definitely all smoke.
“Everybody who sat on that couch do it for free. We do analytics. Our analytics. We was the biggest before you came, and we was the biggest afterwards. So, you always got room to come back to be on the biggest podcast in the world […] You wore the jacket for no reason. Well, let me buy that Gucci jacket up off you then. So I can tell my son, I bought this from a n***a who left. He said that he wore it for no reason. It was a waste. So since we didn’t pay you, I’mma pay you for the Gucci jacket,” DC Young Fly can be heard telling the camera.
