Rick Ross has responded to the recent revelations made by Jada Pinkett Smith about her marriage to Will Smith, and his reaction suggests he’s having second thoughts about tying the knot himself.
On Wednesday (October 18), Rozay took to his Instagram Stories to comment on Jada’s candid confessions, particularly her disclosure that she and Will opted not to sign a prenuptial agreement when they married in 1997.
The news created quite a buzz, especially considering the significant disparity in their individual net worths (Will is reportedly worth $350 million, while Jada is estimated to be worth around $50 million).
“At one time, we thought Will Smith and Jada were Shaq and Kobe,” Ross remarked, alluding to his recent collaboration with Meek Mill. “Just on some red carpet, let’s get this money-type stuff. But the way Jada Pinkett Smith is moving, it doesn’t really make you want to be that close with a woman.”
He continued, “It really makes you reconsider ever getting married. Wow, baby. You’re talking about so much personal business. What’s your credit score? What’s your Beacon score? We don’t believe you were worth $50 million. Nah, show it to us. Prove it to us. We don’t believe this stuff. Now show us. Show us. Will, go home, Will. They called me Will growing up. Come on, Will. Make her go open you a Moon Pie.”
Jada Pinkett discussed the absence of a prenup in her and Will Smith’s marriage during an interview with Parade, published as part of the press tour for her new memoir, “Worthy.”
“Listen, weddings are beautiful, but they can be very romanticized,” she expressed. “I feel that was a very real moment for the two of us to look each other in the eyes, recognize that there would be tough times in this journey.
“And to say to each other, ‘No matter what, we’re going to figure it out, and that’s why we don’t need a prenup because I’m making a promise that divorce won’t be necessary, that we will figure this out.'”
She further explained, “And we made that promise to each other without all the bridal wedding beauty; it was just sitting on a log in his mother’s backyard, and going, ‘Hey.’ Having to really look at the possibility of us not being together.”
Jada’s book tour has been filled with numerous revelations. In an interview with Today earlier this month, the 52-year-old actress disclosed that she and Will Smith have been quietly separated for seven years, despite still being legally married.
She admitted that the reason she hadn’t openly declared that they were no longer a couple was that she wasn’t “ready yet” and was still trying to “figure out how to be in partnership.”
Jada also revealed that there were “a lot of things” that contributed to the dissolution of their marriage and, by 2016, both were “exhausted with trying” because they were “stuck in a fantasy of what the other person should be.”
While she vowed never to get a divorce and has kept that promise, Jada and Will Smith now lead separate lives. Rick Ross’ reaction to these revelations has sparked discussions about the complexities of marriage and the influence of public figures on perceptions of relationships.
