From the hood to home on the range.
Rick Ross has embraced his inner cowboy and is quickly expanding his collection of animals for his ranch in Atlanta.
The “Stay Schemin’” rapper was gifted two giant buffaloes on Friday by his Ethika clothing line business partner Darius Burton.
We’re told the majestic mammals include a 5-year-old Buffalo named Champ that weighs 2,000 pounds and stands at 6-feet, 2-inches.
The second buffalo is currently unnamed, but is a year old and weighs 700 pounds.
Ross, 46, could not contain his excitement when the animals were delivered to his ranch and posted videos of their arrival on his Instagram Stories on Friday.
“Tell me if you’ve ever seen one of these?” he asked his followers. “Don’t lie.”
The “Hustlin’” rapper then turned the animals, which were still inside of a large truck, and told them, “Welcome home. I love you.”

Although one of the buffalo remains unnamed, Ricky Rozay appears to have already picked a nickname for one, dubbing it, “Timbuktu.”
“This is something I spoke into existence,” the Maybach Music Group founder shared. “My whole life I wanted a heifer. I got a heifer!”
Burton exclusively tells Page Six why he gifted his pal such an extravagant gift.

He says, “At his 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day party, we were going to gift Rick with a giraffe but he said he wasn’t ready for that type of commitment, so he said let’s start smaller with something like a cow. I said no, I’m gonna get you a buffalo.”
The two buffalo will join seven more animals that already live on the ranch, including two horses and a 1,200-pound cattle named Thor.
The estate, which the rapper has dubbed the “Promised Land,” is 235-acres, and its accompanying mansion has 109 rooms, according to The Sun.
We’re told Ross can expect a giraffe as his next present for Christmas.
