Saigon has put Rick Ross on blast for promoting the “destruction of our community” by rapping about topics that are detrimental to the Hip Hop realm. During an interview with SOHH (via HHNM), Sai took down the Maybach Music Group honcho, criticizing those that support his career despite the fact that he delivers extravagant raps.
“Why y’all supportin’ a nigga that promotes the destruction of our community? Why are you doin’ that? Why would you let this nigga thrive and we don’t know where our next jobs are coming from?” he said. “He’s rapping about selling kilos of cocaine and selling drugs. This is what he’s about, this whole lifestyle saying he’s so rich and he eats shrimp every night, and y’all support this shit? Y’all broke and poor and your family’s about to get kicked out. That’s our hit, son! That’s his hit. Nobody knows the words to this song, all they know is “ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass, ass.” [Background noises] We don’t care about “ass, ass, ass, ass,” but this is the society we livin’ in right now. So it’s like alright.”

“Ross is one of the few niggas who ever extended his hand to me before. Mad love for @rickyrozay so with that said. Its a dead issue. MRA,” wrote Sai. “As I said the last time I seen @rickyrozay He said “if U need anything, just holla” I never did but he extended that to me. Thats Love.
