Rick Ross [click to read] is moving up the Aftermath food chain, no longer interested in 50 Cent. Instead, Ross, who just released his third album Deeper Than Rap [click to read], has set his sights on Fif's boss, Eminem.

"I mean, I'm a fan of Eminem," said Ross to MTV News. "I'm a fan first and foremost. But after defeating Curly, my confidence is at an all-time high. Maybe before I wouldn't have challenged him, but I'm contemplating it now. The game is commending me for my victory. That's all I wanted to do was ... punish the opposition. I think I've done a great job and I'm gonna continue to do that."

Ross appears to be particularly adamant about this, as this is the second time in the past week he has expressed interest in possibly challenging Eminem.

"I think he's a bigger and better artist than what Curly is," continued Ross. "So if I was looking to fulfill that excitement or that rush, that's who I have to address."

However, Ross revealed he'd be interested in being a part of Shady's upcoming album, Relapse.

"I'm trying to be a part of that," Ross said. "It's either way. We gonna see each other one way or another."
