Rick Ross is doing everything he can to make his home, The Promise Land, the place of his dreams. Rozay, who already made headlines for his tree chopping expedition, has now purchased a fire truck for the property.

“Growing up in Carol City, when the ice cream truck came down the street, we used to jump on the back of the ice cream truck and hold on,” Ross said. “Fire trucks used to drive by all the time. I always wanted to ride on one of them. So guess what? I bought a fire truck. It’s going down!”

Jason Lee Shuts Down Reports of Kanye West “Going Away to Get Help”

jason lee x ye

In the wake of social media clashing with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her new bae, Pete Davidson reports stated Kanye West would be seeking assistance. A source allegedly close to the Kardashians told Page Six that YE is “going away to get help” and cited it was for the “sake of the kids.”

The source added, “Kanye has told Kim he’s not making any public appearances or inflammatory social media statements, and he will go away somewhere to get better.”

That report is now being shut down. Jason Lee, the owner of Hollywood Unlocked and Ye’s spokesperson, reached out to Yahoo! and let them know the message was cap.

Earlier this week, a “source close to the Kardashians” explained to Page Six that West told his former spouse he is “going away to get help.”

“For the sake of the kids, Kanye has told Kim he’s not making any public appearances or inflammatory social media statements, and he will go away somewhere to get better,” claimed the source.

However, West’s new Head of Media and Partnerships, Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee, told Yahoo in an April 1 statement that this narrative is not accurate.

“Ye monitors all headlines pertaining to him and his family daily. Most all are being fed to media by ‘sources close to the Kardashians,’ which have been creating a false narrative that not only is untrue but further compromises his goal of creating a healthy environment for the beautiful children he shares with Kim,” Lee said. “He’s been focused on taking care of himself, being a present and loving father and a creative genius well before all the false headlines we’ve seen as recent.”

Lee added, “If you don’t hear it from his mouth, read it from his social media, or get it from a press release he approved it’s simply false.”
