Rick Ross sat down with Rolling Stone in a new interview where he talks about his weight loss, relationship with Khaled, dissing Donald Trump and his rivalry with 50 Cent. Take a look at some of what he had to say below and read the full interview over at Rolling Stone.

RS: You remixed Adele’s “Hello.” Are you a big fan of hers?
Ross: I love Adele. When I see her, I may kiss Adele. She speaks for so many people. When I hear her voice, I stop and make that face and say, “What the fuck, man?” I just gaze off into the sky for a second and think creatively. Even someone like myself, who’s not working toward being the most beautiful voice in the world, has to recognize it. I’ve got a beat ready for her if I ever run across her.

RS: You’ve lost a lot of weight in the past few years. How do you keep it off?
Ross: I’ve lost maybe 70 or 75 pounds. I do my “RossFit” — that’s CrossFit mixed with a blunt or two. I still eat my Wingstop, but I got rid of a lot of the soda and the rice and all that nonsense.

RS: Meek Mill is signed to your label, and you’ve made a few songs with Drake. How did you feel when those two guys started going after each other on record last year?
Ross: You know, I didn’t like it, but I’ve seen worse. I’m glad they kept it relatively smooth. As a fan, I always enjoyed beef — not the loss of B.I.G. and Tupac, but the competition.

RS: Your old enemy 50 Cent made fun of your first-week album sales for this album. Does that even bother you anymore, or do you brush it off?
Ross: At this point, my relationship with Curtis is really amusing, due to the fact that I’m the biggest L he ever took. I’m still enjoying life. My kids love me. I’m blessed. And when it comes to Curtis, it’s just unfortunate. I’m not happy that his boxing company went under. I’m not happy that his clothing company went under. I’m not happy his record label went under. I’m not happy that he went bankrupt. I’m not happy that he doesn’t have a relationship with his son. That’s not something to be happy about. But to see him parading around, still able to hold his head up every day, with all of that weighing on him — that makes me happy. I admire him for being able to hold his head up in a city that has revoked all of his passes. We’ve had a quite enjoyable past, and I still smile when I see him.
