The rapper, who ironically was playing a show at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati on Thursday night, posted an emotional shout-out to Ross via video after the Bengals selected him. But Ross said he didn’t get a chance to talk to his former coach.
“I think he might actually be out of here now,” Ross said. “His schedule is always busy, so I try not to bug him. I was actually at his house last week with his son. We have a great relationship. We always keep in contact.”
Ross was a running back when he played for Snoop Dogg and into his freshman year of high school.
