Rick Ross appears on Meek Mill’s new album Championships, featuring on the song “What’s Free” alongside Meek and JAY-Z. During his verse, Ross uses a homophobic slur while seemingly taunting Tekashi 6ix9ine, the rapper who is currently incarcerated while awaiting sentencing for federal racketeering and firearms charges. “Screaming gang gang now you wanna rap, racketeering charges caught him on a tap/Looking for a bond lawyers wanna tax, purple hair got them f****ts on your back,” Ross raps. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Rick Ross and Meek Mill for comment.

Elsewhere on the track, JAY-Z appears to take aim at Kanye West and Donald Trump, referencing the red MAGA hat.
