Rick Ross believes there are many similarities between him and the King of Rock, Elvis Presley.
The rapper recently took a trip to Graceland and he captured key moments from his journey, including the many similarities he and Elvis have to each other.
Both Ross and Presley were born in Mississippi. Furthermore, like Elvis, Ross gave his own home space his own name with a similar suffix.
“As we can all see, Elvis and I have a lot in common. His farm is Graceland, my farm is Promiseland. I love airplanes. I love that he’s a hustler . He is a man of the people. let’s do something different today,” he said to the camera.
This isn’t the first time Ross has likened himself to Ross. He previously launched his “Elvis Presley Blvd” track a decade ago, taking its name from the street where Graceland is located.
This isn’t the first time Graceland has made headlines this week. On November 1, it was revealed that Lisa Marie Presley would go to her father’s bedroom where she would invoke his spirit.
The time she spent in his bedroom is detailed in her posthumous memoir From here comes the great unknown.
Riley Keough, Elvis’s niece, alleged that “the only place she found some comfort…desperate to connect with her father…she would lie in his bed, lie on his floor . Anything to feel comfortable.”
Lisa Marie and her children also shared a bed with Elvis. However, if they do not leave the room before the tour starts in the morning, they will be kept there until 5pm. The family will also dine in the room.
“You can still feel him in that room, his spirit is in there,” Keough continued, about the spirit of Elvis.
Elvis died in the master bathroom, the room adjacent to the suite where they would sleep. Upstairs at Graceland does not allow guests to participate in tours of the property.
The King of Rock passed away at the age of 42 in 1977.
