Rick Ross' 254-Acre Atlanta Mansion | Houseguest with Nate Robinson | The Players' Tribune

-How do I get a beard like yours, man? Come on man. Tell him the secret. Stop hiding the secret. - I would be totally lying if I told you that my walking hair grease would get yours like mine. I'd be gassing you. You know what I'm talking? ♪ Tell me something nice ♪ - You finally did it, baby! - I feel like if you could let yourself fall from the pyramid. That's an achievement. - If I don't get this, I'll spend the night. Forever. - It's my favorite room in the house. - "Guest". We are here. - Oh!

Early in the morning. Catch my boy. Hello, Ricky! Rosay! - Hey! Hey! What's up dude? - What's up dude? Hey, I have a date with Mr. Ross. - Mr. Ross? - Yes. - Rosay, you know? - Yes what is your name? -Nate. -Nate? -Robinson. -Nate Robinson? - Yes, let him know that Nate Robinson is here. I have an appointment. - Nate, like the basketball player now? - Basketball player, little dunking boy? Three-time state dunk champion. Yes, you know. - Nate Robinson, he's about 6' 5". - No, man. He's not 6' 5". It's me! - No man. You are my height.

You and I are the same size, man. - Come on brother. Don't play with me like that, brother. It's me. Tell Mr. Ross, please. You know what I'm talking? - I can call him. I'll see, but... - Early in the morning. Tell him I'm here. - Did he say great? Open the doors, darling. Come on! Yes. Rosay! - You finally did it, darling! - I found it. It took me about 30 minutes to walk from the door, but... What do you think, honey? - You ran the game for a long time. - Thanks for inviting me, man.

Beautiful, beautiful house. - I was in Atlanta. So I said, "Man, let me stop by my friend Ricky Rosay's crib." - I told you, you're my dog. - Incredible. - You are more than welcome at any time. - This is the pool, huh? - Man, this is it here. - Man, this is cute. Oh Lord! - Home of the world's largest summer pool parties. Man, I got an offer from some Derby horse trainers. They wanted to give me six figures to bring a certain number of racehorses that they would train... - In the pool? - ... in the pool. - Do you have a horse that you want to breed and start competing in the Derby? - Man, we have... - If you need a jockey, man, I'll be the first. -Hey, I'm not going to lie to you, maybe you're a drug addict too. - I will be the best, I tell you.

I'll be the best at riding those horses. Brother, I don't even know how to ride a horse, but we can figure it out. - But I have to lose about 20 kilos. Do you feel Me? Yes, it will be like 150, 130. - No, don't say that. - No, the little ones are small, they weigh almost 90 pounds. They weigh like, yeah, like 90 pounds. - I'm just thinking it's the boots that make them look like that. - What did you do your first day in this big house? - It took me maybe two or three days to walk around the whole house and absorb it.

You know, Miami is my home. But this is definitely... I could escape. I have 200

acre

s where you could sit. You stand behind doors and think about whatever you want. - Are these your toys? - Yes, these are some of the toys that are here. Here are some of them. - Do you choose your cars depending on where you are going and how you feel? - It is. It's definitely... it's definitely out of the vibe. You know, the big 4x4 at the end, you know, that's just when I feel like a really fat kid. I call him Big Buford.

I named it after Checkers' big cheeseburger. - So you have names for each of your whips? - I name the whips. - Oh, that's cool, man. I have to start doing that. - Yes, this here, with the gold D's, the Gucci top, this is Lemon Pepper. - Pepper with lemon? Oh, those are the wings you would need. You didn't put it up so everyone would know about Lemon Pepper. - When you look at it, it makes sense. So, these are just... you know, my old schools. You know I love old schools. This is a '60 Impala.

The '73 is called Peanut in honor of one of my friends from Miami, at five past three, which we lost, but we will never forget. He loved Chevy very much. This is Big Dad. - Is that Big Dad? - Yes, that's GREAT. This is Rihanna. I would say, my favorite. - Is that your favorite? - Yes, that's my rate. That's the first Rolls-Royce they made with the stars on top. I remember when I first heard it, I was just spinning around listening to "Umbrella." Once you get inside and sit under the stars, you'll need an umbrella.

You know what I'm talking? And Ree, I'll hold your umbrella, honey. - Well, you're going to hold the umbrella together. - Yes Yes. And you know.... - Can we see the inside? Ree-Ree. - Ree-Ree. Put your foot on the brake. You know what I'm talking? Then, bam! - Oh, wow! So, from a music fan and a person who actually makes music, what do you call Rick Ross that isn't Rick Ross? - I love classic old school joints. And then, when the time comes to vibrate with new things, vibrate with new things. - Yes. - I hear all the young hustlers who are making their move. - Good. - I want to hear it.

I want to make sure I stay in touch with what's going on. -Good. - That's like you were a legend and I was a fan of yours for years. You've been splashing motherfuckers for a long time. It's like I'm asking, "What do you think of the little homebody, Zion?" - Beast! I love watching Zion play. I'd say, "He's one of the coldest..." It's going to be a GOAT. Do you have any new music you want to tell us about? Do you want to play something for us? - Oh man, you know, I'm putting the finishing touches on the new album, "Port of Miami 2." You know, we just lost my brother, Nipsey. - Yeah, rest in peace, man. - That weighs on my heart right now.

You know what I'm talking? But the collaboration that Nipsey and I did... We were talking the last few days, talking about video. Teyana Taylor called me. She called me, hysterical, because we were basically in a threesome. You know, just texting, calling and getting calls about our collaboration. And just losing, homely, you know, just saying it was a loss. That doesn't even justify it. - Yeah, we lost a good one, man. It sucks because everyone, everyone I talked to about this, is just shocked by it. Like, "How? How is this possible?" You know what I'm talking? Great friend.

So, question: How do functions work? For people who don't know.... Do you call your homebody friend and want to do a show with him? Like, "Bro, I'm looking for a favor." - Many times, it could be that simple. If you have a relationship with an artist, you can just reach out to them, like I did with Nipsey. Just, "What's up, buddy? Let's do this." And whatever is most convenient for us, we make it happen and do it. Or, if you don't know an artist, you might have to follow the manager's or label's policy. I can only imagine what a lot of people went through to try to contact me and, you know, you have to contribute something.

Where is that bag? Where is that money? -Is there anyone you want to appear in your topic that you haven't asked yet? -Diana Ross. -Diana Ross? - Yes, she only has class for me. It would be amazing. - Rick Ross, Diana Ross, collaborating, you know? - She's so amazing. - Which NBA player would you consider your rap game after? Who could it be? - You know, if I could be anyone, I would say D-Wade. The fat man is going to bring the rings. You know what I mean? And that's what it's about. It's about winning. - Gain.

Again, man, thanks for having me, man, having me here. - Whenever you want, brother. - To boss. - In the promised land. - The promised land? - It's the promised land, man. Once you walk through the doors, man, you're in the promised land. - Hello guys, I'm not going to play. It definitely took me like 15 minutes to walk from her door to his door. So, really. - So, you know, it would take a fat guy 30 minutes. -So he's great! I went down to Mr. Ross's horses and they seem to have beards? I've never seen a horse with a beard.

That's great, you know, everyone. If that's the look you were going for, your horse would have a beard like yours, you know? I understand. It's great. Funny. Are we okay, man? Are we okay, man? It's okay, we're fine. Look, we're fine. You know what I'm talking. Good job, man.
