If you’ve ever heard any of the Florida emcee Rick Ross’ world-famous songs like “Stay Schemin” with Drake and French Montana or “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)” with Styles P, you’ve likely noticed the elegant M-M-Maybach Music tag placed on every instrumental. Representing Ross’ record label Maybach Music, the beloved declaration can be found on dozens of tracks in Ross’ catalog. And now, after he’s employed the tag for over a decade, the 47-year-old has finally revealed its origins.

With an Instagram post on Monday (August 29), Ross confirmed that the voice behind M-M-Maybach Music belongs to Jessica Gomes. The Australian model has been seen in campaigns for Celine, Prada, and Diddy‘s fragrance Unforgivable. She also earned a shoutout in Kanye West’s 2010 song “Christian Dior Denim Flow,” featuring Kid Cudi, Pusha T, John Legend, and more.
“Have you ever wondered who is THE VOICE behind the infamous Maybach Music tag,” Ross in the caption of his latest Instagram post. “Let me introduce you to the talented Jessica Gomes. Everybody, go follow @iamjessicagomes , and when you see her somewhere on her boss travels, share an @officialbelaire toast with her , and say ‘Mmmmmmmaybach Music!’ #LLBB #MMG.”
On top of just songs from Ross’ catalog, Gomes’ M-M-Maybach Music can be heard on songs from other label signees like Meek Mill and Wale, as well as songs that Ross has been a featured artist on. The most noteworthy of these tracks include Meek Mill’s “Dreams & Nightmares,” Drake’s “Money in the Grave,” Ace Hood’s “Bugatti,” DJ Khaled’s “God Did,” Meek Mill’s “What’s Free” with Jay-Z, and Meek Mill’s “I’ma Boss.”

Earlier this month, Meek and Ross shared videos of them in the studio together working on music. Neither of the two has released a studio album since 2021 when Meek dropped Expensive Pain in October of that year and Ross put out Richer Than I Ever Been in December.
