Is Rick Ross a Hoarder? He Certainly Doesn't Think So

"To me, it's national treasures"

Who remembers Hoarding: Buried Alive on TLC? The documentary series following the lives of people with hoarding disorder stopped making new episodes in 2014, but they may feel compelled to come out of retirement for the sake of Rick Ross.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. The rapper is not willing to do that. Despite owning a mansion in Georgia with 109 rooms, he still doesn't seem to have enough space for all of his things!

Earlier this week, Ross posted some Instagram Stories displaying his massive collection of clothes, shoes, accessories, etc., laid out all over the floor — which he described as a day's work, with "at least two more days of shit" to likewise be splayed out.

"I'm having a debate, they calling me a hoarder," he said in one of the multiple clips that also included polls for his followers to answer. "They say hoarders keep things and find excuses for it — no it's not, these things are of value. They are value. But now I have to make more space."

The MC mused, "Listen man, what y'all do with all y'all clothes, all y'all shoes? I'm trying to organize some of this shit. Man, I got this shit spilling out every-goddamn-where, man."

"Should Rozay have a damn yard sale?" he wondered aloud, adding that his closets were all full. Another clip sees Ross walking directly through a sea of designer footwear: "It's like I'm fighting through shoes!"
 

He clarified, "This ain't no hoarder. This rich boss shit going on right here, don't get it twisted. But I'm not finna be caged in."

Ross went on to continue wondering if having more than 150 cars qualifies as hoarding, or is just your everyday, run-of-the-mill "rich n— issues."

"To me, it's national treasures," he explained. "Once I own it, it becomes a national treasure." He was clearly off to steal the declaration of independence after that mid-interview bathroom break in 2021.
