(CelebNMusic247-News) Reebok Drops Rick Ross:
Rick Ross just learned a hard lesson about glorifying rape and money with irresponsible lyrics!
When ignorance is bliss an you embrace one, you lose the other … because he was just DUMPED by Reebok.
As TMZ [via 4UMF] previously reported … Ross has taken a ton of heat for his song, U.O.E.N.O … in which he happily sings, “Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.” Translation —date rape.
Reebok tells TMZ … “Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.”
Reebok goes on: “While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.”
Maybe Rick Ross will rethink his words the next time he makes reference to drugging a woman and taking advantage of her and “She didn’t know it!”
I love hip hop but this is an issue that pisses me off when rappers think they’re untouchable and can say anything and get away with it! Especially when they influence so many young minds who sometimes don’t know better. Being a artist is one thing but with that comes responsibilities to make listeners aware and tell a story not to promote ignorant and mischievous behavior that hurts other and or even more…
I tell it as I see it…just being honest and true about a lyric that is disturbing to even myself and that is a hard thing to do. Time to learn Ricky Rosay!
Here is the controversial track that has cost Rick Ross major loot with Reebok:
