EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Ross told 50 that HE could change his life should he pull up to the Promiseland estate for a boss talk. Okay, so he only half dropped the schtick.

50 and Cuban Link split back in January without the usual messiness rappers deal in, and for what it's worth, she and Travis appear to be gelling pretty nicely ... for now, at least.

As for 50, he told us he's not dating last month when he dodged those Lauren Boebert dating rumors  ... so, he might have time to "entertain" Ross.

They've been beefing for over 15 years ... could be time to add some bread to the table!!!
