Roddy Ricch has quite the unlikely fan in superstar actor Will Ferrell, who revealed in a new interview that Roddy was the first concert he ever attended.
Appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week, the 57-year-old shared the fun fact during a round of rapid-fire questions with Colbert.
When asked who Roddy is, a smiling Will replied, “A Hip Hop guy,” then noted the show was about five years back (likely at the height of the success of “The Box” in late 2019/early 2020).
“Would I know any of his stuff?” Colbert asked, to which Will simply replied, “No.”
Will Ferrell has shared his love for Hip Hop for years.
