Rick Ross Loses Shoe Deal with Reebok Over Controversial Rape Lyrics

Rick Ross Suffers Seizure

Earlier today Reebok announced that they would no longer be working with Rick Ross  after much debate over his verse in rap song, “U.O.E.N.O.” The controversial lyric goes as followed, “Put molly all in her champagne…she ain’t even know it.  I took her home and I enjoyed that…she ain’t even know it.” Molly is a slang term for the drug MDMA. Since the song hit airwaves in January, Ross has been the topic of many discussions. Women activists and rape survivors demanded that the song be taken off air and that Reebok cancelled their lucrative deal with the rapper.

While some felt that the lyrics were abrasive, they also felt like they had to defend Ross’ freedom of speech. Ross took to Twitter and apologized for the lyric tweeting, “I dont condone rape. Apologies for the #lyric interpreted as rape. #BOSS.” Reebok stated that they do not believe that Ross condones sexual misconduct, but they do not like how he has not fully addressed the issue and taken responsibility for his part.

Rick Ross Cancels North Carolina Shows Over Death Threats

Guess the Teflon Don ain’t so tough after all. Rick Ross decided to cancel his North Carolina shows after receiving death threats.

Ross, reacting to a YouTube video posted by Gangster Disciples, decided it wouldn’t be worth it to take the stage and has even taken the steps towards refunding money for fans that have already purchased tickets.

According to the video, Gangster Disciples (a gang) didn’t like that Ross shouted out their mob boss in a “dishonorable fashion” in the lyrics to one of his songs on the ‘Black Bar Mitzvah’ mixtape he released a few months ago. They also claim they dont like Rozay’s use of the Star of David that the gang uses as a symbol.

Maybe rappers should stop retending to be actual gangsters and they won’t have this problem. Catch the full story and Gangster Disciples’ video over at Urban Informer
