According to celebrity photographer Thad of Exclusiveaccess.net, rappers Rick Ross and Swizz Beatz gave back to the community in a big way today in South Florida!

Students at Carol City Senior High School in Miami got a major surprise this morning. Rihanna’s baby daddy, rapper Rick Ross made a special appearance at his high school alma mater to donate iPads to the CAP Program.



Ross was joined by music producer Swizz Beats, and together they distributed many pairs of Reebok sneakers to the boys and girls high school track team. The shoes are an incentive for students who successfully pass the college placement test administered at Carol City Senior High School.

As a counselor at Carol City Senior high, I was vey pleased seeing a Carol City grad giving back. Oftentimes our celebs/athletes/business owners seem to forget where they came from, preferring to honor all except their own. Mr. Ross aka Mr.Rick Rozay, I both thank you and salute you for your actions and hope that others will begin and/or continue maintaining an open line to their roots.
