Rocko purchased, on August 5th, 2008, a company based out of Maryland sharing his name: the 23 year-old Rocko Meats. Appearing on MTV on August 6th, 2008, flanked by Jermaine Dupri, Rocko stated that he plans to use his growing wealth to build up businesses and contribute back to the community by marketing better-quality products at comparable prices to what fast-food chains offer. His first product will be "Rockoges" (a combination of chorizo and smoked sausage) and has signed agreements with Southern-based Publix to carry the line starting in November. This marks one of the first times a rapper has marketed food items to this degree.

Rocko is the fiance of R&B singer Monica.
