Rozay questions whether individuals actually “ate” when Trump held office or did those people steal “the money” regarding PPP loans
Rick Ross sometimes makes sense and schools people now and then, whether it’s business advice, real estate tips, or anything to do with hip-hop. But, this time around, he touched on politics for a quick minute.
In a video he posted to Instagram, he spoke about a phone conversation he was having with one of his “homies,” and it pertained to the time when President Donald Trump was in office, particularly during the pandemic. He warned folks not to get delusional when going to vote in the next Presidential election by thinking that Trump had people “eating (vernacular meaning that people were getting a lot of money).”
The Miami recording artist said, “I just got off the phone with one of my homies, and let’s make it clear. You vote for who you want to vote for, it’s fine with me, but one of my homies was like, ‘Boy, I can’t wait for Trump to get back in; he had a n**ga eating!’” Ross then paused as if to collect his thoughts.
“I just don’t want nobody to be delusional; you can’t be a delusional n**ga. Did he have you eating or was it a nationwide, worldwide pandemic and you n**gas stole the money?”
Rick Ross alludes to the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan that took place during the pandemic. The government was giving out loans, that small businesses did not have to pay back, for loss of income and to pay employees who lost work due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rozay may be on to something regarding the alleged “eating” done by folks who applied and got the loan. According to NBC News, experts had predicted that about 10% of the approximate $800 billion given out by the government went to fraudsters who used the money for illicit gains. That amounts to as much as $80 billion.
