CMon..pay the girl Ross
Rick Ross’ Maybach Music imprint has become famous for the signature, sexy female voice uttering “Maybach Music” at the beginning of several of the label’s songs. Finally, the woman behind the voice–model Jessica Gomes. The Australian says that she and some friends were recorded for a 2008 Jay-Z and Rick Ross song and Ross has been using her voice ever since.
But she hasn’t earned anything from it.
“Right, Jay-Z and Rick Ross. It was at the beginning of the ['Maybach Music'] track. It was another girl talking and then she says, ‘What is this?’ and I say ‘It’s Maybach music’ and then we both say ‘I like this Maybach music.’ And we both go ‘Sweet,’” she explained in an interview. “We were just hanging out with friends in the studio and then it just happened. We got behind the mic, started talking and that was it, really. They decided to put it in their song and nothing came about. But now everyone’s using my part where I say “Maybach Music.” Even A-Trak, who’s a friend of mine, the DJ, asked ‘Have you heard this song?’ And I said ‘No.’”
“Really! I need to be getting paid for these songs,” Gomes told Global Grind. “[Am I getting paid?] No! [Should I?] Now I do. Because it’s hot and it’s out there. [Have I talked to Ross about the voiceover?] No. Not at all. I haven’t had a conversation with any of them about it.”
