Rick Ross Relates to Elvis During Graceland Visit

What do Elvis Presley and Rick Ross have in common? A lot according to the rapper himself.
In a series of Instagram Stories, the “9 Piece” rapper visited Graceland, Presley’s massive Memphis estate. “I just went on a tour throughout the crib,” Ross, 48, said. “Very enlightening. Elvis was a legend, an icon.”
He took a peek at Presley’s 1958 Convair 880, an airplane he purchased in 1975 and named after his daughter Lisa Marie. Ross, who owns a Gulfstream G550, said, “As we all could see, me and Elvis had a lot of things in common… His ranch is Graceland, my ranch is Promise Land.”
He further goes on to explain his admiration for the late singer, saying, “I love the planes. I love he was a hustler. He was a man amongst the people.”
The rapper released the song “Elvis Presley Blvd.” featuring Project Pat in 2014. In the song, he says he’s “riding down” the iconic street in Memphis, and also shouts out Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley.
Ross is no stranger to some easy listening. In an exclusive chat with PEOPLE for his collaborative album with Meek Mill, Too Good to Be True, the Florida icon shared some of his playlist staples.
“Phil Collins, ‘In the Air Tonight.’ This is that yacht music right here,” Ross said. “So when I talk about that sound, I know where to draw from. I know where I want inspiration from. I know where I need it. Timeless records. When I’m talking about records that’s 40 years old, 30 years old, what’s the feeling I’m looking for? I could just keep going.”

He even boasted about his love for Gloria Estefan, saying, “Welcome to Miami! You feel me? That’s just that top down, Miami s—. Let the top down. Matter of fact, leave the top at home. Don’t only let it down. Leave it at home. You can’t even let it back up. F— it. That’s Miami.”
Over the summer, the hustler himself auctioned off several pieces from his collection of street art, sneakers, designer clothes and more to benefit the Boss Up Grant to aid entrepreneurs.
Ross also put up for auction an impressive personal collection of Michael Jackson memorabilia, which included a sealed ONE by Cirque du Soleil light-up glove, which sold for $260, a sealed Bad 25th anniversary vinyl, which went for $195, and a Thriller album-themed 1866 William Knabe & Co. grand piano, which went to the highest bidder for $3,575.
