Here, Rick Ross talks to Shaheem and MTV Mixtape Daily about getting love from the ladies at his recent video shoot in Medellin, Colombia. I’ve heard how beautiful it is there, and would visit in a second, but obviously one would feel lil’ anxiety about the crime rate….so, in the case of his team and The Dream, Rawse assuaged their fears…by lying, lol.

“To be honest, everybody thought about their safety,” Ross said of Def Jam and others’ initial reaction to his idea of having Gil Green shoot the video in the hometown of the late, notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. “Everybody got on laptops, Googled. First thing that came up was ‘car bombs,’ ‘hostages,’ this, that and all that. I told them, ‘We got some good friends over there. It’s a beautiful spot.’ Even though I’m really gassing them [at that point], they rolled with me. They believed in my concept.”

“We ran it by The-Dream, just like everybody else, [he] was thinking about safety,” Ross recalled. “I kept telling them, ‘We got national guard!’ I was lying like a muthaf—a. ‘We good everywhere we go!’ I’m lying! But I seen The-Dream personally, we had a show together, I ran it by him. …”We gonna make history,’…”

Well, lucky for them, it all worked out and nobody had to send any “Proof of Life.”
