Wingstop and Rick Ross have collaborated for a good cause. Aside from the Maybach Music Group boss being a franchise owner in the company, they’ve launched a college scholarship program for young adults in urban areas.
The Wingstop Foundation, a nonprofit leg of the Wingstop restaurant chain, will fund grants to activist groups that strive to decrease dropout rates with education and mentoring, in addition to providing scholarship awards to employees and students.

At the launch of Wingstop’s online clothing and accessories store in New York recently, the “Diced Pineapples” rapper dished on the new initiative to Bossip:
“We see the drop out rates. We know what’s going on. So what’s the biggest thing that we could do? Wingstop as a company came together and put together an urban scholarship that’s for the underprivileged, that’s educationally based. That’s me talking to my audience. We need to hear this, and we need to bring all these ideas and concepts to the table and start as soon as possible.”
