The settlement with Singleton comes after it was revealed Ross purchased a Wingstop restaurant for his 16-year-old son.
“Everyone wish my son @mmgbigbank HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY,” the mogul wrote on Instagram. “Today he became the owner of his 1st @wingstop franchise. Your now officially a BOSS !!! Keep Going.”
Ross’s son, who is also named William Roberts, received praise for his recent business venture. Jim Jones, E-40, Murda Beatz, and Killer Mike all offered their congratulations. “William, I’m extremely proud of you my son,” Rozay commented on his son’s post.
Ross owns over a dozen Wingstop locations but recently said in an Forbes interview he stays on a tight budget.
“When I bought the Fayetteville estate, locals would see me walk out of a restaurant and scream, ‘You know Holyfield spent $1 million a year to cut the grass.’ So I decided that I was gonna cut my own grass. And that’s what I did,” Ross said in the interview. “I went down to John Deere and asked to see the biggest tractor, the most efficient tractor. I told them I had 200-plus acres that I wanted to keep cut, and they pointed out the right tractor…I may have sat in the same spot for two hours before I got everything working, but once I got it going, I didn’t stop. I cut grass for about five hours.”
Ross also has two children from a previous relationship.
Ross has also been busy promoting his latest book, The Perfect Day to Boss Up: A Hustler’s Guide to Building Your Empire (HarperCollins, $27.99). The book, which dropped on Sept. 7, is the follow-up to his previous book, Hurricanes: A Memoir, which hit shelves in November 2020.
