Rick Ross' 5 Kids: All About the Rapper's Sons and Daughters (and the Surprising 16th Birthday Gift He Gave One of Them!)

Rick Ross holds many titles — rapper, author, record executive, entrepreneur, car connoisseur and The Boss, to name a few — but he may be proudest of all to be called dad.

The Grammy-nominated rapper (born William Leonard Roberts II) is father to five children: daughters Toie and Berkeley and sons William, Billion and Bliss.

Born in 2002, Toie is his first child and only daughter with W.A.G.s to Riches star Lastonia Leviston. Toie is the CEO of Ashanti Beauty, has one son and is close with her famous father. Ross’ only child with ex Tia Kemp, son William, was born in 2005 and has followed in his dad’s footsteps as a collegiate football player.

Ross shares his three youngest children — Berkeley, born in 2017; Billion, born in 2018; and Bliss, born in 2020 — with his ex-girlfriend Briana Camille.

Ross takes pride in watching his children grow into “who they are going to be,” telling Miami Living Magazine in 2020 that he doesn’t "put a lot of pressure on my kids" because they are respectful to others and good students.

“I'm allowing them to become young adults, and to decide what college they want to go to, what they want to be, what they want to do, how they want to do it, and where they want to do it,” the “Hustlin’” rapper told the outlet. “I'm pretty free about that."

Here's everything to know about Rick Ross’ five children: Toie, William, Berkeley, Billion and Bliss.

Toie Roberts, 22

Ross and Leviston welcomed their daughter Toie on March 17, 2002.

“This is my favorite gift I got,” Ross captioned an Instagram video montage of himself and his daughter in 2017. “Toie I love you.”

As a teenager, Toie's parents threw her huge birthday bashes. Her 13th was a Chanel Paris-themed party in Miami with performances by rappers K Camp, Ace Hood and the late Rich Homie Quan. Toie’s Sweet 16 took place at the Versace mansion in Miami's South Beach. It was hosted by DJ Khaled and included performances by Kash Doll, City Girls, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie and Lil Baby, according to The Jasmine Brand, and Ross gifted Toie with a Bentley for the occasion.

On her 22nd birthday in 2024, the rapper paid tribute to his daughter on Instagram, calling Toie “an inspiration even to myself” and “the most loving person I know.”

"You deserve the world and with us being a team it’s nothing we can’t accomplish and won’t achieve,” the proud father wrote. "Our bond is unbreakable.Loyalty comes naturally.Happiness is long term. Toie daddy loves you with all my ❤️.”

Toie responded to her dad’s tribute, writing, “hey.. you made me cryyyyyyyy🥺🥺🥺🥺🥹❤️‍🔥I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU DADDY! THANK YOU FOR LIFE + MORE ITS US FOREVER♾️.”

Toie is now the CEO of Ashanti Beauty. Like all of Ross’ kids, she was taught about entrepreneurship and financial responsibility from a young age. He told Miami Living Magazine that his daughter could run a Wingstop by age 14 — Ross owns more than 25 of the franchises after opening his first in Memphis, Tenn., in 2011 — and was allowed to be on conference calls for his haircare line, RICH by Rick Ross.

“I don't speak to my daughter about coming up from the mud to the marble and starting with nothing, because that's not her life. She's not in the position me and my sisters were in. Instead, I talk to her about the importance of maintaining our brands,” he told the outlet, adding, “At the same time, she gets to live and enjoy life much more than I did at her age. You have to take the good with the bad, but I most definitely let them see firsthand what hard work is.”

Toie welcomed her first child, a son she shares with rapper Lil Poppa, in 2022.

William Roberts III, 19

Ross welcomed his second child and first son, William, with Tia Kemp on Sept. 14, 2005. Like his dad, William was raised in Miami.

“I Love and is so proud of this young KING. His Dreams are clear and his focus is Sharp,” Ross wrote on Instagram in honor of his son’s 18th birthday in 2023.

William played high school varsity football at St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., winning four consecutive state titles. Ross proudly supported his son and the team, even giving the whole program a social media shout-out in 2023, calling them all “born winners.”

William followed in his father's footsteps and now plays collegiate football (Ross played at Albany State University). He signed with Bethune-Cookman University, a Historically Black University (HBCU) in Daytona Beach, Fla., in January 2024 after also receiving offers from the University of Miami, Syracuse University, Florida International University, Texas A&M, the University of Colorado and Albany State. William is an offensive lineman.

The father-son duo have been spotted over the years at sporting events. In 2015, they participated in the Court of Dreams Celebrity Basketball Game in Miami and, along with Ross’ nephew, they attended a 2020 Miami Dolphins game.

The Perfect Day to Boss Up author aims to teach his children about financial responsibility, and he’s done so early. Ross owns many Wingstop franchises — in 2023, he told Rolling Stone he stopped counting when he hit 25 — and gifted one to William for his 16th birthday.

“I think us as fathers and men, we gotta teach our youngsters how to come into manhood and be responsible and take care of yourself and not only yourself, but your family that you gon’ create,” Ross shared on a 2021 episode of Revolt's Assets Over Liabilities. “So you not just thinking for yourself, you gotta be in the position and on the level to think and take care of others.”

For Ross, the financial move aligned with his goal of building generational wealth. The Grammy nominee shared on Assets Over Liabilities that William, whom he said was “very mature” as well as a great student and son, grew up watching his dad “run in and out of Wingstops.”

“I most definitely wanted to let him know that this is an empire that we're building together,” the father of five told The Grammys in 2021. “Even though he has a small role in it, because his focus is being a student and an athlete, I want to make sure it's always in the back of his mind that he's a businessman, too.”

Berkeley Hermès Roberts, 7

Ross welcomed his first child with then-girlfriend Briana Camille, daughter Berkeley Hermès, on Sept. 5, 2017.

In 2021, Camille and her daughter participated in their first Autism Speaks walk together.

"This had to be one of the most liberating things I’ve ever done in my life," the mom wrote on Instagram of the event. "I look forward to using my platform in any way that I can to bring more awareness to our growing need of understanding #Autism and the importance of having the conversation to acknowledge important topics pertaining to the autism community."

In 2020, Ross released a memoir, Hurricanes. During an appearance on STEVE on Watch that year, the rapper addressed how he felt about his kids eventually reading about very intimate moments in his life.

“I have those conversations and we’ve been having those. They’ve always been under my wing. Like I say, I always find a way to find some positive regardless of the darkness of my situations,” Ross said. “I’m always honest with them."

Billion Leonard Roberts, 6

Ross and Camille welcomed their son Billion Leonard on Nov. 6, 2018. “Bruiser in da building #itsaboy,” Ross wrote on X to announce his birth.

Before welcoming Billion, during an interview with 99 JAMZ in July 2018, Ross revealed that he and Camille were expecting their second child together and described the news as “such a blessing.”

“The only thing I wanted more than a billion dollars was another son, so God is great,” the Richer Than I Have Ever Been rapper said.

In 2019, Ross shared cute Instagram photos of himself and Billion hanging out with matching full-sized and mini teal cars. The proud dad captioned the slideshow, “LIFE IS GODS [sic] GREATEST GIFT.”

Billion started kindergarten in 2024. Alongside an Instagram photo from his preschool graduation, Camille wrote that her son was “super smart, mannerable, inquisitive [and] handsome.”

“He’s definitely on his way to making a huge mark in this world. I’m raising real Kings over here!🙌🏼🫶🏼,” she added.

Billion celebrated his 6th birthday in 2024 at an Atlanta Hawks game and his parents captioned a series of Instagram photos from the night, “HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY KIDDO.”

Bliss Roberts, 4

Ross and Camille’s youngest child and second son, Bliss, was born on Aug. 14, 2020.

The rapper's youngest two sons, Billion and Bliss, share an Instagram account, @billion.heir. Their nicknames are Papí and Papa and both have a “signature lip bite pose” just like their dad.
