Key Takeaway
Freeway Rick Ross has offered Tory Lanez valuable advice on surviving in state prison, including the importance of a personal bodyguard and the need to navigate the challenges of fame and potential gang involvement. Ross’s insights draw from his own experiences during his lengthy incarceration and provide Lanez with practical strategies for his time behind bars.
The Burden of Success in Music
According to Ross, Lanez’s successful background in the music industry could be both a blessing and a curse in prison. Other inmates may constantly approach him for financial assistance, seeing him as a source of money due to his fame and fortune.
An Inmate Bodyguard and Generosity
Ross recommended that Lanez hire an inmate bodyguard to closely watch over him during his time at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, suggesting a monthly fee of $300. Additionally, he encouraged Lanez to follow the example set by Suge Knight and win favor with fellow inmates by purchasing and distributing televisions.
