If you're talking comedy, charisma, and straight, no-chaser truth telling, DC Young Fly never misses, but this round, the 85 South Show co-host gagged the jokes and aimed them right at Rick Ross. It goes back to an incident that has been brewing since 2021. Ross, who appeared on a taping of the 85 South Show hosted by DC Young Fly, Karlous Miller, and Chico Bean, mysteriously exited during the middle of an interview. No warning, no explanation, but he just disappeared like a wisp of cigar smoke.
However, there was more at issue than just Ross's departure. What stayed with DC Young Fly was what happened next. Instead of addressing the problems with the culture-rooted podcast, Ross appeared on a full-blown, in-depth interview with a non-Black-owned podcast. And DC revealed it recently on the Rory and Mal podcast.

It's that you left our show and then you went and did a white podcast and did a full interview," he said, irritation just below the surface. "And they were asking you the questions that we didn't even ask you."
Among those questions? Ross is getting called out for his time as a correctional officer, something DC and company didn't even bother to address. And yet Ross sat down with his new podcast hosts and spoke pretty freely. That rubbed DC the wrong way, and not out of jealousy or clout, but respect or lack of it.
Ross clarified on Instagram. He said he left the 85 South set over "an urgent matter," that he was "just showing love," and joked about having wasted a Gucci jacket on the visit. Oh, and he said the lemon pepper wings were gone. Yes, those lemon pepper wings are Wingstop's very best Ross's flex of choice.
He set the record straight respectfully, but firmly in a clapback post on Instagram. "U kno it's all love but nobody gets paid cause the culture bigger than the money!!!!" he wrote. "The difference we can make last a LIFE TIME!!! Our doors is always open OG."
As for Ross's wing complaint? DC proudly mentioned that there were "200 lemon pepper wings in the back" and even joked about buying that wasted Gucci jacket for his son.
The point was obvious: This is not about beef, but it's about bounds. It is about honoring spaces that foster culture without the glitz, without the check, but just for the love of it.
"If you come on, you know you got to work for some time so we can get the best out of it," DC said. "Don't just leave."
In a world where cultural capital so often gets exchanged for clout, DC Young Fly is here to remind y'all: don't ghost your own to give it all away somewhere else.
