American rapper Rick Ross has had a great time in Cape Town, sight seeing, watching whales, doing podcasts and even shouting music videos.
The hip-hop mega star was in the Mother City for a mini vacation this January and also made sure to link up with local rapper Usimamane.
Usimamane last year landed a major feature from the “Boss” himself for “Dangerous II” which is on his deluxe album “20th: Days Before Maud”.
Rick Ross, real name is William Leonard Roberts II, was in the country where they shot the music video for “Dangerous II”.
The “Uvalo” hitmaker shared a clip on Instagram with him standing next to the “Aston Martin Music” hitmaker. In his caption, he simply said “thank you” to the rapper.
Fans of the local rapper shared their excitement about the moment on Usimamane’s comment section.

At the time, the first version of the song featuring CaseKlowzed had been completed, when Rick Ross sent the song back, Usimamane was left very surprised and couldn't believe it himself.
Rick Ross has been to South Africa several times and one of his most memorable visits was in 2018 when he toured the township with Kwesta.
The two had been to Soweto and Katlehong, where Kwesta’s grandmother sent him to buy bread at the shop.
