Rick Ross Says Kanye Made Him Throw Out First "Devil in a New Dress" Verse

Rick Ross told Complex News' Speedy Morman his initial verse for "Devil in a New Dress" was shut down by Kanye West.

While out at ComplexCon, Rick Ross sat down with Complex News' Speedy Morman to talk about one of the most important verses in his catalog: his song-closing bars on Kanye West's "Devil in a New Dress."

During the My Beautiful Dark Twisted panel, Rozay revealed he had to record another verse for the song. Here, he shared more about the experience.

"When I recorded that verse for the first time, he came in, heard it," Ross recounted, "he told me he thought I could do better. And he walked out." The MMG boss didn't let that moment deter him from delivering something special. "And then I wrote another one, and the second verse I wrote is the one you hear on the album."

Check out the full interview above, where Ross also talks about standing up for Lil Wayne in the Birdman financial feud.
