Rick Ross says dinner with Jay-Z made him millions and helped his rap career

Rapper Rick Ross has recounted how dinner with Jay-Z made him more money and also helped his rap career.

Rick Ross revealed that before the release of his "Trilla" album in 2008, he had dinner with Jay-Z at Philippe Chow in New York City. He said the Roc Nation boss instructed him to write songs for their intended impact, as opposed to just rapping over beats he liked.

Ross recalled cutting his workload in half and seeing his stock rise. Jay also hopped on the album as well, kicking off the famed "Maybach Music" series and Rozay says his career catapulted to another level.
