07/28/08 - Rick Ross Addresses C.O. Allegations

Black Superman · 07-29-2008, 12:51 AM

Hip-Hop star Rick Ross has hit back at recent reports surrounding his previous employment with the Florida Department of Corrections.

During an interview on Friday (July 25), Ross addressed the latest developments as “rumors” and maintained that he is a victim of a massive smear campaign.

Speaking to Phoenix, Arizona Hip-Hop station Power 98.3 (KKFR-FM), he responded to the question of his past employment by simply saying “Don’t believe the hype.”

“In the game we in, it’s real competitive,” Ross told Power 98.3 FM. “Competitors have to do what they have to do to eat. We making the best music. Y’all seen the BET Awards, y’all saw the magazine. We the biggest in the game, we the best in the game. Just keeping it real. And anytime somebody can attack my character, like I said, you get nothing from the Boss. I don’t give haters the pleasure.“

In video footage of the interview, which took place during a fan meet-and-greet at the Virgin MegaStore at the Arizona Mills Mall, Ross is seen dancing and interacting with fans, apparently undaunted by the continuing appearance of “evidence” of his two-year stint as a Correctional Officer at the South Florida Reception Center in Miami-Dade County.

Ross said he views the discussions the documents have created among his fans, foes and colleagues alike as part of in the rap game.

“When you get to my level, you’re a great conversation piece,” Rick Ross calmly explained. “I’m big on the blogs, I’m big on the magazines, and I appreciate that as an artist. That’s why I’m in the game. I got in this game to introduce people and to make great music. And that’s what it’s about.

“Just keep the rumors coming,” added Ross, who’s sophomore album Trilla debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart.

“We gon’ keep the records coming, we gon’ keep the music coming. Like I said, I’m one of the realest sources of this real street music in this game. Straight out of Miami, straight out of M-I-Yayo. One of my closest homies was on America’s Most Wanted.”

Ross also revealed that he and Foxy Brown were no longer an item.

AHH

"Straight out of Miami, straight out of M-I-Yayo. One of my closest homies was on America’s Most Wanted.”

What is this supposed to mean? Child molesters are on most wanted, bombers are most wanted, serial killers are on most wanted.

Thanks for keeping it Trill Ross

What a fucking goon.

How is he such a chunkwad if he does so much coke?

Why would he get into rap if he made millions dealing coke?

Stay Fly · 07-29-2008, 11:30 AM

it wont affect his music or album....just watch...kissin a dude is ten times more worse then being a guard or shit....Just because you had a day job doesn't mean that you weren't living some sort of illegal life. There are criminals in college, on Wall Street, in government, on the police force, in law, and definitely in the music business, especially the underground. People are quick to judge and it puts [the judged] in an incredibly difficult position to justify a life they obviously no longer live when incriminating information surfaces.

Take also look on pics on rick ross...its mugshots...and AGAIN..he makes dope music and i dont care if he was a guard.....

im not the biggest ross fan , but thats MY OPINION. Just let ross make his dope music...fuck his personal life.....
