The latest episode featured renowned rapper and musician Rick Ross. Moreover, in the episode, Ross was asked an interesting question by Paul about who he thought was the hottest female athlete in sports. The rapper thought for a while before giving his picks.

He then chose tennis icon Serena Williams as the hottest athlete in sports. He also added track and field runner Sha’Carri Richardson to the list claiming that he liked her personality.

I’m gonna go back to Serena even though for some reason in my mind I could see the baby girl that you know um ran in the Olympics. She’s super cool yeah she’s lit. she’s super I most definitely need to rock with her,” said Ross.

Although many have touted Williams as the greatest female athlete of all time, Ross feels like she is the hottest as well. The 23-time Grand Slam Champion has accomplished feats that no other woman in her sport has. This seemingly adds to her charm for Ross. Moreover, even Paul stated that he respected her a lot after watching her biopic ‘King Richard’
starring Will Smith.

She made her mark as a woman of color in a predominantly white sport, winning her first singles Grand Slam at the 1999 U.S. Open against Martina Hingis, who was the top-ranked female player at the time.
