We spoke to RoddyRicch about his relationship with NipseyHussle, how his grandmother influenced him to get into real estate & more
I met him at ComplexCon years before he was ever on. That's why we're cool to this day. I was tapped into his s--t and he seen that I genuinely f--ked with him. I was telling my manager Bird Gunna was gonna be big and he was like, "Who's Gunna?" This was back then. Fast forward, and he's really a heavyweight as far as young n---as. I share his struggles. He got a song called "Phases," and it was my life.
You've already decided before turning 21 that you want to invest in properties. Was that instilled in you prior to you having a relationship with Nipsey? I'd seen men in my family have more money than my grandmother and blow it. That mentality instilled in me [that] even with barely much, if you manage your money right, you can do something with it. It don't matter if you have pennies. Now that I saved my money, I have some properties in Compton. But I don't really show that on Instagram, because you don't let people know. That s--t ain't really smart. But we moving in the right direction.
I've been moving around a lot, so I haven't really had time to settle, but it's a little different. Like when I walk outside and ain't nobody looking at me crazy or bothering me. It's like people walking their dogs and s--t [] It's crazy, but I just try to keep it all in. I still go back to where I'm from and stay connected with my people and s--t. That's how I got here, basically being the voice of the streets.
