According to Black Enterprise Magazine, rapper Rick Ross was in the news after reports that his company, Boss Wing Enterprises, was fined for labor violations at five of its Wingstop locations in Mississippi.
NBC News reported that BWE, which is owned and operated by Ross’ mother and sister, was hit with more than $100,000 in fines for making employees purchase their uniforms, background checks, and more which caused employees to fall under the state’s $7.25 minimum wage. Additionally, an underage employee was seen working after 10 p.m., a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Ross responded to the reports in an Instagram video discussing accountability and that successful people find ways to overcome any and every setback.
