After being dropped from a lucrative endorsement deal with Reebok over his date rape lyrics;
“Put molly all in her champagne, she
aint even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she aint even
know it,", Rick Ross finally offers a real apology...
“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”)
