Maybach Music Group’s Rick Ross is back with a vengeance, uncorking a brand new song titled “Champagne Moments” that fizzes with both luxurious celebration and lyrical warfare.
The track opens with a decadent image: “Fish tanks and marble floors, livin’ big and bad,” setting the stage for Ross’ opulent lifestyle. But the lavish celebration quickly takes a turn as he unleashes a barrage of stinging insults aimed at an unnamed rival.
Ross throws down the gauntlet, dismissing his opponent’s claims of street cred with lines like, “Who believes he movin’ keys in his Loui Vs?” He mocks those who rely on ghostwriters (“Crack smoke is the exhaust from my pen and pad / Ghostwriters, they get to floss what you could’ve had”) and questions their work ethic (“Record label takin’ a loss, are you in your bag? / You a worker wantin’ to chart, don’t make me laugh”).
The diss doesn’t stop there. Ross boasts about his own success, claiming financial superiority (“Get to mine, tell by my watch, this a different time / Livin’ fine, I’m gettin’ high as your shit decline”) suggesting his rival’s career is on a downward spiral.
While speculation runs rampant about who might be on the receiving end of Ross’ lyrical fury, one thing is certain: “Champagne Moments” is a fiery diss track that throws shade with a side of Cristal. Whether it ignites a full-blown rap feud or stands alone as a braggadocious victory lap, Rick Ross has ensured he’ll be the center of conversation. Listen below;
