In 2017, Freeway Rick Ross opened up about his Emmy-nominated documentary "Freeway: Crack in the System," and hiring private investigators for the task force that was assigned to follow him. During the conversation, Freeway Ricky spoke about almost being a part owner in Death Row, which sparked a discussion about Suge Knight's current situation in jail. He also detailed getting caught up in a sting after vowing to never get back in the game. He described how his plug set him up, which resulted in him getting life in prison with no chance of parole. Later in the interview, Freeway Ricky explained his ability to manage millions of dollars despite being completely illiterate and the decision to teach himself how to read.
