Rozay can't wear his Reebok Classics anymore! The rapper loses his deal after lyrics from a song became more deeper than his rap. |
The Maybach Music Mafia boss got problems more deeper than rap. Besides the threats from the Gangster Disciples, the rapper faces the ire of angry women.
The rapper had finally came out to apologize for his choice words about date rapping a woman and she ain't even know it! The single U.O.E.N.O. comes off Atlanta rapper Rocko's mixtape Wordplay which features Future and Rozay.
The controversy had finally sealed his deal. Reebok dropped the rapper as their spokesperson.
The rapper is pretty embarrassed about the situation. He even got his lyrics removed from the single.
"Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it's wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it."
—William Roberts (a.k.a "Rick Ross")

Now who says a gangsta didn't have a heart?
Being a controversial rapper can cost you big time.
Wiz Khalifa, Rocko and Future. Wiz Khalifa replaces Rick Ross on the single U.O.E.N.O. |
Ludacris (Pepsi), Snoop Dogg (The Muppets), Busta Rhymes (Mountain Dew), Chris Brown (Wrigley's), The Game (Reebok), and Shawty Lo (All My Baby Mamas), Hank Williams (ESPN), Ted Nugent (U.S. Military Bases and Discovery Channel) are examples.
Some conservative agitators lost endorsements for their embracing of racism, sexism, homophobia, the crime and gun culture.
Rush Limbaugh (1,000 endorsements), Dr. Laura Schlessinger (40 endorsements, 4 syndicators), Michael Savage (400 endorsements, 5 syndication companies), Glenn Beck (ABC, HLN, Fox News, 500 endrosements).
The U.O.E.N.O. single was replaced with Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa. The rapper comes into the situation to save the single. The rapper became a father this month after his wife model Amber Rose gave birth to his son.
Understand this: RAPE IS RAPE.
The Rush Limbaugh/Sandra Fluke fisaco, Todd Akin, and this Steubenville rape situation, the women are calling out the sexism by those in the junk food media.

I have no problem with RR doing a song about rape no more than Hollywood doing a movie about a murderer--just own it.
