Rick Ross has flexed his collection of Louis Vuitton sneakers in an apparent attempt to rival Kanye West’s “Louis Vuitton Don” title.
Rozay took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday (January 11) to showcase a part of his private closet that was organized to show off the plethora of LV sneakers he owns.
With his girlfriend Cristina Mackey playing choreographer, the MMG mogul gave fans a look into his shoe “vault” which includes rows of dozens of Louis Vs in different colorways.
“Ah man, the Louis Vuitton vault,” he said while mispronouncing Louis as Lewis. “You see the artwork.”
“You skipped a level, go up some,” Cristina Mackey chimed in.
He continued: “It’s the Ricky Rozay Louis Vuitton vault. Oh yeah, it does spill over a little more too but we ain’t even tripping. We just gon’ focus on this. I love you, baby.”
Rick Ross loves his Louis Vuittons — as has Kanye West who was enlisted to design three different silhouettes for the luxury fashion house in 2009.
The Jaspers, Mr. Hudsons and Dons arrived courtesy of West in various colorways and now are part of the Hip Hop fashion crossover history books.
Back in October, Rick Ross reached out to Kanye with the idea of bringing him to the MMG family after various labels reportedly distanced themselves from him following his string of antisemitic remarks.
“I just had an amazing idea, a boss idea,” Rozay said in a video posted to social media. “This is something that’s extremely realistic to me. We’ve created amazing masterpieces in the past.
“The boss, Ricky Rozay, I’m interested in signing Kanye West. Maybach Music. Ye, what’s up? Talk to me. Let’s make history, baby.”
In another clip, Ross doubled down on his pitch by offering to distribute Ye’s upcoming joint album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, and saying he has “amazing ideas” for his Yeezy brand.
“Imagine if Ye came and allowed MMG to distribute his new project,” he said. “Imagine that. What’s your favorite Rick Ross-Ye collab? Imagine that.
“Imagine the artistic drive. And I got some amazing ideas for the Yeezy brand. Let’s speak.”
