Maino turns Rick Ross’ “heavy marinara” line into a Halloween bit
Complex describes an Oct. 28 teaser; XXL reported a costume-video post the next day, both tied to a Halloween episode of Let’s Rap About It.

Maino dressed as Rick Ross for a Halloween parody, copying the shades, beard and easy stride from the Miami rapper’s post-release press conference. XXL says the costume video went up Thursday, Oct. 29; Complex’s Oct. 29 report describes a Wednesday, Oct. 28 reel teasing Maino’s look for a Halloween episode of Let’s Rap About It. The two reports may refer to separate posts, but neither spells out the clip sequence.
A costume riffs on a very specific line
The bit turns on Ross’ planned trip and his unusually specific Sunday meal: rigatoni with “heavy marinara.” Maino’s caption labels the riff a Halloween edition. It is a joke built around one public appearance, not a new report about the matter that surrounded it.
The latest court update is separate: Ross pleaded not guilty Oct. 30 to the remaining misdemeanor count and has denied the allegations. The case remains unresolved; the costume post does not change that status. Our earlier report has the current details.
