Rick Ross says he has not lost a game of Madden — the long-running American football video game franchise — in "maybe eight or nine years." The rapper made the claim during an appearance on 'On Display,' a Complex collectibles show hosted by Joe La Puma, in an episode that aired in August 2026. Billboard

The episode was filmed inside Ross's $50 million Miami airplane hangar, where he stores his car, motorcycle and video game collections. The hangar served as the backdrop as Ross walked La Puma through the holdings — vehicles, bikes and shelves of games among them — before the conversation turned to his Madden habits.

Ross told La Puma that he rotates between three teams in Madden, choosing which to play with based on the team his opponent selects. He declined to disclose which three teams those are.

He also said he generally avoids playing the game against his famous friends, citing their egos as the reason. The comment was offered without naming anyone specifically.

For a figure whose public persona is built on scale — the hangar, the fleet, the breadth of the collection — the Madden streak fits the pattern. Ross did not offer evidence beyond his own claim, and no opponent came forward in the segment to challenge it.

The 'On Display' appearance placed Ross's gaming habits alongside his more conventional collectibles, framing the video game collection as part of the same property tour as the cars and motorcycles. Whether the streak holds may depend on whether any of those friends eventually take him up on a match.
