This summer, leading source for business and financial new, Forbes, sat down with rapper Rick Ross to talk money and chicken wings. The rapper who owns about nine fast-food franchises of the chicken king, Wingstop, in and around his hometown of Miami, chose to hold his interview with Forbes at the newly opened Wingstop on the corner of Nostrand and Fulton in Bed-Stuy.

“I just love Wingstop,” says Ross, easing himself into a seat for his first-ever FORBES interview. “As you can see, the energy in here is always fun. It’s always youthful. Not only that, you know they got my favorite lemon pepper wings in the world, so it’s just a natural attraction.”
Ross has more than just a culinary interest in Wingstop—he’s the proud owner of nine franchises around the country, mostly in the southeast, closer to his hometown of Miami. That doesn’t stop Brooklynites from assuming this location is his, too.
“People come in here thinking he owns this all the time,” says DJ Diallo, the owner of this particular franchise, who appreciates Ross regardless. “He made Wingstop more popular.”
Wingstop is part of the reason Ross is one of Hip-Hop’s Cash Kings for the sixth year in a row. His poultry profits are far from paltry—somewhere in the low seven figures, by our estimates—and along with his touring income, recorded music sales and other ventures, they helped him rack up about $7 million in annual earnings.
“I just wanted it to be something,” says Ross of his Wingstop efforts. “The business just grew. It really grew. The community really came out, supported it, and showed us a lot of love.”
