The Miami Heat hosted their 24th annual Miami Heat Family Festival event at the Kaseya Center. The event is being held to support the Heat Charity Fund. Attendees included Rick Ross, Heat president Pat Riley and player Bam Adebayo.
Rick Ross, who is a lifelong Heat fan, posted photos and videos from the event on his Instagram Stories. The rapper was seen sharing candid moments with Adebayo and Riley during the event.
To make the event even more interesting, the singer of “Santorini Greece” also performed in front of the audience. Plus, as if that wasn’t enough, he also made Pat Riley’s legs shake during the event.

The family festival generated $5,02,150 for the Heat’s charitable fund. After the event, Ross, Riley and Adebayo all took photos with fans.
Ross is an integral part of Miami heat culture. He is one of the fan faces of the franchise. Recently, the American rapper also expressed interest in buying the team, currently owned by Micky Arison, an Israeli-American businessman.

Rick Ross has been a loyal Miami Heat fan throughout his life. Although Ross was born in Mississippi, he lived in South Beach. However, it seems Ross is taking the Heat fan in him to another level.
Recently, the hip-hop artist spoke with former Heat player Udonis Haslem on his podcast “The OGs.” Ross, along with Mike Miller and Haslem, discussed Ross’ dream of buying part of the Heat franchise.
Haslem broke the subject and asked the rapper about his plans now that he has enough money to make his dream a reality.
“Oh, you already know I’m going to keep it real now. I need you all to come with me in this. Come on, we gotta get us a piece of that Miami Heat. Once for La Spoelstra Nostra, you know already,” Ross replied.
He also added that his love for Heat the team and the years spent together are what makes him want to buy the team. He also said he wanted to do it for the city and the fans.
Over the years, through his albums and work in music production, Ross has earned millions of dollars. Currently, his net worth is estimated to be around $150 million. With this money, the American rapper can certainly buy a percentage of the team. With Adebayo, Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley alongside him, that shouldn’t be a problem for him.
