"Rollout (My Business)" is a hip-hop song by Ludacris. It was the first single released from his 2001 album Word of Mouf. The song reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Male Rap Solo Performance.

The song's lyrics address the irritation felt by Ludacris as a result of nosy onlookers. The verses replicate the questions these parties ask about choices he's made ("Who's your house-keeper and what you keep in your house/What about diamonds and gold, is that what you keep your mouth"), the dollar amounts of his lavish purchases and the people with which he spends his time ("Who's that bucked-naked cook fixing three course meals"). In the final lines of the song, Ludacris warns these people to stay out of his personal affairs.

Aaron Durr remade the song in 2006 in a rock-piano-lounge style singing some of the lyrics on his debut album, Another Long Semester
