Rick Ross: Rozay Looking Behind His Shoulder!

Rozay's beefs are deeper than rap!

William Roberts II is commonly known as Rick Ross. The Miami based rapper took on the name of real-life cocaine dealer Freeway Rick Ross.

Overall, many look at Rick Ross as the hottest in game. His label Maybach Music Group signed on Washington, DC rapper/singer Wale, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill, Cleveland rapper Stalley, and R&B singer Omarion to his growing roster.

As one of the most successful talents on the Def Jam label, Ross (aka Rozay/Maybach Untouchable) has been criticized as a "phony gangsta" by the likes of 50 Cent, Young Jeezy and even the original Rick Ross.

Many of Ross' critics think of him as such after The Smoking Gun reported the rapper having a small stint as a correctional officer in a Florida prison. The rapper denied it at first, but when photos of him in uniform came forth, the rapper admitted it.

Gangster Disciples showing respect!

In 2009, Rick Ross was engaged in a high profile feud with 50 Cent over a music award snub. At the BET Awards, 50 Cent supposedly looked at Ross the wrong way at the BET Awards. 50 Cent told news sources that he did not remember seeing Ross there. In late January, "Mafia Music", by Ross, leaked onto the Internet. There were several lines that seemed to diss 50 Cent. Days later, 50 Cent released "Officer Ricky (Go Head, Try Me)" in response to Ross's disparaging remarks on his "Mafia Music" song.

Since then, the two have engaged in near brutal fights. Rick Ross protege Gunplay got into it with 50 Cent's G-Unit camp at the BET Awards this year. And this year's BET Awards, brought to life another feud. Ross engaged in a heated fight with labelmate Young Jeezy over an apparent conflict between members of their entourage.

Ross, Lil' Wayne, Drake and newcomer Future are the most sought after rappers as of right now!

They've laced tracks for many and are growing in popularity.

Rick Ross appears under Def Jam Records. His affiliated labels include his own label Maybach Music Group, Slip-N-Slide Records, and Ciroc Managment Group.

Gangster Disciples want Rick Ross to "owe" up fees for usage of their likeness.

The Chicago based Gangster Disciples are looking to put a serious dent on Rick Ross' popularity. The rapper had to cancel some appearance after threats came to light.

Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover.

The Smoking Gun reports that in YouTube videos, gang members warn Ross, 36, that he will end up in a hearse unless he pays tribute for using Larry Hoover’s name in “B.M.F. (Blowing Money Fast).” Hoover, serving life in federal prison, co-founded the Gangster Disciples in Chicago in the late-1960s.

The gang, which has grown to include chapters nationwide, has also accused Ross of coopting its Star of David logo on the cover of his new mixtape “The Black Bar Mitzvah.”

Another gang leader, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory of the Black Mafia Family, is also mentioned in the song, which shares an acronym--“BMF”--with the Ross song itself. Like Hoover, Flenory is a federal inmate (though he has a release date in 2032).

Ross, of course, has a working familiarity with the penal system, having served previously as a corrections officer in Florida. The rapper (real name: William Leonard Roberts) initially denied working as a screw, but eventually fessed up when TSG published documents from his Department of Corrections personnel file.

Those records showed that Ross swore a loyalty oath upon getting hired and agreed to “shoot an inmate attempting to escape.” His perfect attendance record earned him a nifty “Certificate of Appreciation” from corrections officials. In his 1997 resignation letter (submitted 18 months after his hiring), Ross thanked his superiors for “your interest in my career and for the experience I've gained through my employment.”

Larry Hoover was arrested for conspiracy and engaging in a criminal enterprise. Hoover was sentenced to six life terms and is currently incarcerated in the United States Federal Prison Florence (USP Florence Admax). The prison is known for holding most of the dangerous individuals in the world.
