Rick Ross is facing unexpected criticism from within his own family as he prepares to celebrate a major personal milestone.

The rapper and entrepreneur, who turns 50 on January 28, was recently called out by his oldest daughter, Toie Roberts, during a live-streamed video that has since circulated widely online.

In clips shared by Live Bitez, Roberts, 23, questioned her father’s lifestyle and suggested that he does not act his age. While acknowledging the benefits of the life Ross has built for his children, she urged him to slow down, expressing concern about his continued high-energy behavior as he approaches his 50th birthday. Her comments quickly sparked discussion across social media platforms.

Ross, born William Leonard Roberts II, is one of hip-hop’s most commercially successful figures of the past two decades. Known for chart-topping singles, major collaborations, and his Maybach Music Group label, he has also expanded his brand into business ventures, including restaurant ownership and a spirits line. His financial success has positioned him as a prominent example of generational wealth in hip-hop.

Despite those achievements, Ross has frequently drawn online criticism regarding his personal life and relationships. Public scrutiny has previously come from former partners, but Roberts’ remarks marked the first time one of his children publicly addressed his behavior.

During the stream, Roberts also appeared confused about the size of her father’s family, suggesting that he has more children than publicly confirmed. However, Ross has acknowledged having five children. In addition to Roberts, his children include William Roberts III, Berkeley Hermès Roberts, Billion Leonard Roberts, and Bliss Roberts.

Roberts concluded her comments by suggesting that her father prefers to keep his personal life private, even as public interest continues to grow. Ross has not publicly responded to his daughter’s remarks.
