In a recent video that quickly went viral, the rapper, known in real life as William Leonard Roberts II, expressed his eagerness to work with African artists, highlighting Ghanaian dancehall superstar Stonebwoy as one of the key collaborators in the pipeline.
Ross, whose influence spans across the global hip-hop landscape, has set his sights on not only Stonebwoy but also other prominent African acts such as Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platinumz and Nigeria’s own Yemi Alade.
