Boss Stranded: Rick Ross’ Plane Makes Unscheduled Dallas Stopover
The incident making rounds on social media was a case where Rick Ross’ private jet forced an emergency landing in Dallas, Texas. The reports that followed, much theatrical than a Miami bass line, hinted on a possible crash. On the contrary, the official statement on the incident played it cool by calling it controlled emergency descent. The reasons behind the impromptu stopover are as Grey as the cloud cover the airship must have hit.

Online ‘selfecies’ made the movie perfect. It was indeed strange, but possibly Ross probably forgot to warn us, even five-star-class rappers are prone to surprises and risks.
What supercharged the comedy of this particular detour was its comedic timing. Only a few weeks before, Ross had taken shots at Drake, teasing him, criticizing him. What was the target of Ross’s jest? Drake has a private jet. Ross used Drake’s jet and the jet-setting lifestyle to ridicule Drake. He made derisive references to the multiple assumed plastic surgeries Drake had and how he “stole” African American culture.
And the Internet, as is its nature, watched with glee as the teaser learned firsthand that Payback is a Beautiful Bi.. (if only for a day), as Ross took to Instagram, with a picture of the grounded jet in the background and the following caption over: “Drake fighter jet shot us down!” The Internet, for what some assumed was a very real feud between the two musicians, erupted in laughter.
Despite the constant online sparring, Drake remains a chart-topping sportsman. Given his attention, he even liked a post confirming Ross’s safety, which he showed concern about it. However, the internet wasn’t quite ready to let the joke land. Memes and jokes were flooding social media platforms, with many also speculating about Drake’s alleged role in the whole landing thing. Some said it was wild as a diss track on a mixtape.
Ross seems to have escaped with just a story and maybe some respect for aircraft maintenance. However, the exact details of what happened remain a mystery because there are few official reports. No major publications have published officially, so most of the information comes from social media. Therefore, the lack of confirmation leaves the actual reason for the emergency landing unknown.
Rick Ross is lucky. He’s safe, has a funny story about a wrong turn, and now sees how social media can turn scary moments into hits. For Drake, social media will keep their feud alive. This will entertain fans. One thing is certain. Next time, both rappers will check their planes more carefully.
