Rick Ross and Fat Joe

Rick Ross has once again earned Fat Joe‘s respect, this time for how he’s managed to turn a profit on his $5 million Atlanta mansion.

During an episode of his Instagram Live show in mid-June, Joey Crack saluted Rozay for making his money back on said property investment by hosting his annual car show on the 235-acre estate.

“By the way, Rick Ross – this guy, he bought a mansion in Atlanta I think for $5 million,” the New York City native said. “Everybody thought he was crazy, and he wound up throwing car shows in his house, paying the whole shit back in full and owning the house for free. The man is just an entrepreneur genius. It’s just not way around that.”

Rihanna

Rihanna is work, work, working her new look.

In fact, just days before launching Fenty Hair, the multi-hyphenate made the rare move to rock her natural curls. While stepping out in New York City June 9, the “Lift Me Up” singer showcased her golden pixie cut, which consisted of honey-colored tips and dark brunette roots.

To keep the mane attention on her tresses, Rihanna’s fashion moment was quite simple—well, for her standards.

After all, she donned a simple baby blue spaghetti strap top (with her black lace bra peeking through for extra oomph), black oversized pants and a brown fuzzy coat that she draped off of her shoulders.

She completed her streetwear style with sandal heels, a black-and-white graphic bag from Louis Vuitton, layers of gold necklaces, massive hoop earrings and black sunnies.

As for her glam? Rihanna let her natural beauty shine through, wearing little-to-no makeup.

1col-  The 36-year-old’s decision to display her natural curls comes less than a week after she announced her new haircare line.
