Still basking in the success of his latest album, Rick Ross has taken his boss persona a step father and has now promoted himself to “King Boss.” For years, Slim Thug, who has actually been in the spotlight longer than Rick Ross, has been calling himself the boss. His debut single, back in 2005 was actually called “Like a Boss.” Ross would counter in 2008 with his T-Pain assisted single, “The Boss.”


During their time in the game, it has appeared as if Rick Ross and Slim Thug get along relatively well. The two rappers have yet to collaborate on a major track, but have attended many of the same events. When they meet up, Rick Ross and Slim Thug appear to get along. Slim Thug even spoke on Rick Ross’ feud with 50 Cent and seemingly sided with Ross. But, this is a different day and a different beef.

To go along with his new alter ego is a new song, “King Boss.” On the song, he seemingly goes at Slim Thug. He speaks of a girl who used to date Slim Thug, but later began sleeping with him, a real boss. After hearing the song, Slim Thug reaches out to Rick Ross on Twitter and asked him why he dropped his name on the track. Wanting to receive a response, Slim Thug will wait before he replies to the track.
