Ever since 2009, Rick Ross has been one of the biggest names in hip hop. Much of this is due to his highly-publicized beef with 50 Cent, the biggest bully in hip hop. For the first time, Rick Ross has opened up on why he decided to go after 50 Cent.

Ross said he had nothing personal against 50 Cent at the time. But, 50 was dissing everyone in the game. Each of 50 Cent's disses were getting closer and closer to him. Rick Ross felt his name would be next on the list, so he decided to go after 50 first.

Last year, Rick Ross said he would not go after 50 Cent again. After trading disses for a year, he was done. Instead, Rick Ross wanted to focus on his business career and making new connections. However, the "boss" did contemplate going after Eminem.

Rick Ross compared his feud with 50 Cent to the mob. In Ross' eyes, 50 Cent had been the boss for several years. Ross has watched enough gangster films to know the boss dies in the end. The boss is usually taken out by a newcomer in the business. In the case of 50 Cent, he was taken out by Rick Ross, who has since become the boss of the game.
