Pick n Pay ad featuring Rick Ross

Retail giant Pick n Pay faced criticism from social media users after featuring Rick Ross in its latest promotional advert─just not so long ago after reportedly closing 32 supermarkets across South Africa.

The ad, filmed in a Cape Town Pick n Pay store, also features comedian Schalk Bezuidenhout and cleverly using DJ Khaled’s hit song All I Do Is Win─ a track that originally features Rick Ross himself, alongside other artists.

As Netizens express concern over the recent job losses following the closure of 32 Pick n Pay stores, many are now questioning the financial priorities behind the retailers latest marketing campaign. The ad has raised eyebrows, with some wondering how much the hip-hop mogul was paid for his appearance.

Given that Rick Ross has an estimated net worth of $150 million, some even speculate it could be closer to a billion dollars. This has sparked debate online about whether Pick n Pay’s investment in the ad was worthwhile, especially considering the job cuts.
