Redman recently spoke on the possibility of leaving his current label and joining forces with Eminem's
Shady Records and complimented their focus on "hip-hop."
Em wanted to sign him, Red detailed his willingness to link with Shady if the situation presented itself.
"Even like Shady, even to have that idea, or Eminem to even have that idea like thinking Redman was gonna
 be off Def Jam is a liar," Tia told radio personality Angela Yee. "You can't believe anything that comes outta
 this guy's mouth at this point. I mean nothing. I was with him for three years. He lies about everything. I think
[it's a mental condition]. He's psychotic...I have no idea [why he chose the name 'Rick Ross']. Why would you
wanna take someone else's name? Seriously, like you went from 'Teflon' to 'Willow' to 'Rick Ross.' Are you
serious? He may have to change his name soon from 'Rick Ross' because Rick Ross is home now. He gonna
have to see him." (The Morning After)
Freeway Ricky Ross has recently been shouted-out on various songs including Young Buck's "Did You Miss Me."
"All these rappers wanna talk about how much money they got, how much work then done flipped, I don't see
none of you n*ggas out here, I'm out here for real," Buck says in the intro. "Since everybody rich now, f*ck it I'm
 broke...Freeway Ricky Ross be home end of March/We gotta all stay together, ain't nothin' fell apart/I'd be lying
sittin' here actin' like the sh*t ain't hard." ("Did You Miss Me")
Aside from being released earlier this month and featured on BET's "American Gangster" series, Freeway is reportedly
 preparing a new television show.
A new reality show called "A Year With Freeway Ricky Ross" is currently in production and will go along with Ricky Ross as he
leaves prison and moves into a halfway house in California. The show will follow his attempt to regain his former fortune
 through legal means, while at the same time making amends with the community. (Freeway Ricky Ross)
