When a photograph of Rick Ross as a correctional officer was revealed in 2008, the rapper said it was likely altered and that “online hackers” placed his face on another man’s body. Eventually, however, his past as a CO was verified by the rapper.
Ross appears to address this matter on Mastermind. “Feds tore the crew apart,” Ross raps on the “Rich Is Gangsta.” “That’s why I had to play my part, nigga / That wasn’t me, it was just a job, nigga.”
“That particular line most definitely referred to me being a CO,” Ross says in a recent MTV interview.
His past as a CO is not one he would change, the rapper says.
“I wouldn’t change nothing ’cause to me it’s about who Rozay is,” Ross says. “It’s about me. Anywhere I go, when I step in the room, I put it down. People know it’s authentic right here. They know it’s real. So it was nothing that I was personally threatened with. I was just ready to move on. Let’s go get this money. Let’s make this music.
“And right now, to feed my family, I’d do it again,” Ross continues. “To feed my kids, I’d go get it. We gon’ get it. My whole team gon’ go get it. We gon’ win. And that’s with everything we ever did. I been winning, though.”

it’s important to note that he had no family to feed when he took that job! his mom was upper middle class and living good.
This is probably the 4th or 5th time he’s changed his story. it seems odd that his crew all got sent away but he somehow didn’t catch a single charge or have the feds watching him?
If he was really in the crew like that he should have known the connect and been able to keep “hustlin” on the outside as he never had a single charge until 2008! So out of all the jobs one could get he chose to work in a prison? Shit ain’t addin up,
I remember when he had his bodyguards assault DJ Vlad and put him in the hospital for asking about the truth. That one cost Ricky a few hundred thousand for being so ashamed and insecure about his past.
It’s funny how he’s admitting it now but I remember when he said the haters were photoshopping his face on another body. I remember when he called Trick Daddy a sucka for speaking the truth.
This guy once said he was involved in a drug bust and became a c.o out of necessity. Out of all jobs a c.o? But if he was involved he couldn’t have gotten a job as a C.O.
Then he changed it to how his best friend got sent away and his homies pops told him to go get a job as a fireman or a C.O.
So Let me get this straight… Your “Operation” was raided by the Feds… And instead of getting back to work like a real hood nigga would you decided to go WORK for the police… THE SAME PEOPLE WHO BUSTED UP YOUR SO CALLED “Operation”??? Uhhhh yea ok. That makes sense.. That’s like going to a picnic with a nigga who testified against you on the stand and got you 20 yrs!! Man Bye! This nigga is a Liar!
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMMMM!!
back then at that age he was a high school graduate and a football star who went to university on a football scholarship and studied criminal justice and didn’t even live in the hood a miami newspaper exposed him ages ago. his stories always change. anyone who believes him is stupid.
Nobody who’s really moving weight would ever think about getting a job in a prison to sell drugs. Yes some COs get paid or extorted to sneak drugs into the jails or to look the other way when shit happens that’s as far as that shits gonna go.
The nigga lyrics said “Feds tore apart the squad, nigga Thats why I had to play the part” so he’s saying the Feds broke up a crime ring that he was a part of and locked his whole crew up so he became a CO to get the connect right? Right!…
#1 If he was already part of the crime ring he would have been locked up with everybody else or his name would have been on the FEDs watch list at the very minimum…
#2 If he was already in the crime ring he would have already known the connect or know somebody can hook him up wit the connect so there wouldn’t be a need for him to be CO.
He keeps referencing Boobie (who was the leader of the crime ring) who is in jail…every drug case that ends up with the big fish in jail starts with all of the little fish. Ross would have been in jail before Boobie if he was really down with the team that’s just how shit works man. That dude is just a rapper that stole a real drug dealers persona everything from the beard to the bald head and claims he was a kingpin I doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
You sound square as fuck, I doubt you ever spent a day of your life in the streets. Stop trying so hard you make yourself sound foolish.
The whole premise of your wannabee words is bogus simply based off the fact that BMF all went to jail and Jeezy remained free like the luadrymat wasnt wide open, shut your square as up.
we aint talking about jeezys fake ass. at least you can look up his record and see mug shots from before rap. william got pics in c.o. uniforms from before rap.
“You sound square as fuck, I doubt you ever spent a day of your life in the streets”
Sounds like he’s got something in common with William, y’underdigg?
“People know it’s authentic right here. They know it’s real. So it was nothing that I was personally threatened with.”
RIGHT!!! Thats why he had his bodygurds beat down Vlad and thats why he denied and lied until SmokingGun pulled all his paperwork.
I don’t agree with the DJ Vlad beating or the Sam Ferguson murder but when you playing with people’s money and livelihood you have to accept the consequences.
Should have just kept it real from day one.
People know it’s authentic right here. They know it’s real
and another lie to add to the list. must be about 90 pages by now.
The MMG business model is built on the idea that if you tell a lie long enough, it will become the truth.
When you always lie, it becomes second nature and habitual to lie in situations where you are afraid of the consequences of being honest.
This is why people don’t like Ross. Nothing to do with him being real or fake.
I believe [rapper Rick Ross] is being financed by the police union,
and keeps spreading bullsh*t to the youngsters so they can keep filling up the penitentiaries,
because he ain’t selling no music but they keep putting him on the radio,
and putting out all these big expensive videos but he ain’t selling no music,
so somebody is shootin’ off money. I believe its the police union behind it.”
“These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples’ body.
We don’t believe you Ricky. Remember on first single Hustlin he rapped about how he “caught a charge, he got charge” when he never caught 1 charge until he was like 32 years old in 08. To be a C.O. you cannot have a criminal past or record.
Biggie said he raled a nigga with a broom, did your white ass believe that lyric too?
Did biggie say that in an interview? We talking bout William lying outside of his music.
Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, came from a middle-class family with educated parents, earned average grades in high school and was a standout football lineman his senior year.
He graduated high school, won a football scholarship & spent a year at Albany State University studying criminal justice.
His mother was a nurse and his father, whom she divorced, had earned several educational degrees. If Ross initially grew up in a rough neighborhood, he didnt stay. In 1992, when Ross was 16, county records show that his mother, Tommie Roberts, purchased a 2,300 square foot home in Rolling Oaks Estates, an upscale cul-de-sac community in Miami Gardens.
He graduated four years from Carol City High School, I bet you are envious because a Black single mother working a minimum wage job had enough hustle to buy a mansion….her connections are better than yours.
Nurses do not make minimum wage! People making min wage cannot buy homes in upscale cul-de-sac’s.
I’m sure his daddy with multiple educational degrees probably helped out quite a bit with child support too.
Single parent nurses with three children often purchase upscale estates and then drive their only son to Carol City High School for 4 years because that is awesome stuff.
ROLLING OAKES ESTATES
NUFF SAID
Cb4 ass nigga
take notes yall… this is how ridiculous you sound to others when you stack lies on more lies…
Rick Ross is ignorant AF!
First he said it wasn’t me then he said he was part of a gang and was told to do it by the boss then he said his friend got locked up and his friends dad told him to leave the streets and get a job so he got a job as a prison guard now his back to hinting its deeper than rap.
this guy knows what his doing his a cartoon character who knows the more outrages lies he tells the more sites and blogs are gonna post it and people are gonna be talking about him
He acting like it was nothing now that it can’t hurt his career anymore than it already has but when he got exposed he was backtracking, calling everyone haters and liars.
Then all the different stories he made up like to justify it like a man really needs an excuse for working a legit job as a young man.
“My desire for finer things made me a liar”
– Rick Ross, 2014
He said it himself, he finally admitted to being a fraud and a liar on Mastermind.
When William brushes his teeth he sees another man’s name tatted on his hands. When he licks the chicken grease off his fingers he see’s another man’s name tattooed on his hands.
You know what pisses me off is people all over the net rightfully call out this buffoon and his inconsistencies and call him fake (which he is), yet he still sells his freaking albums in the hundreds of thousands or probably even more. Sadly, there are many hip-hop heads (true hip-hop lovers) who support this faker’s music by buying his albums.
“yet he still sells his freaking albums in the hundreds of thousands or probably even more.”
Nah he’s never crossed that million.
He’s an entertainer. Of course people are going to buy his albums.
Nobody respects you Net people or your opinion, the only way you can hurt Ross is to get the streets to turn against him. Ross is a Hustler and respected by other hustlers so while white people call him “fake” and GUnit fanboys call him fake the rest of the world just see him as a rapper.
this groupie nerd still thinks everyone hating is a G-Unit fanboy LMAO
“They know it’s real” – The fake Rick Ross
This man deserves a lifetime achievement award from the Academy Awards for playing this role with such dedication for so long.
ROSS HOGAN BACK ON THAT SHIT AGAIN, LMAO
HE SHOULD JOIN WWE
Lying all time is some female shit whether you make good music or not and especially when you claim to be so “real”.
A lie is a deliberate fabrication and distortion of the truth. William Roberts is the antithesis of music based not only upon his inability to create real, significant art, but his absolutely fraudulent real life character. He possesses neither integrity nor honor.
Most C.O.s who do dirt are usually if not always threatened by inmates…by threatened, I mean have family hurt, etc.
I know its the extreme but C.O.s aint saying…well, let me get this C.O. job to become a drug kingpin and later rap about it.
he looks so proud in that picture with the white bitch giving him his award for being such a good prison guard.
I would be a co too. Want to protect the world. Why give ross flack for that.
because he denied it and said thats not me the haters photo shopped my body. then he made 4 or 5 stories up to try and justify it instead of just being honest.
I might have respected him if he said this from the jump… nigga was throwing mad people under the bus calling em liars and haters. Vlad even caught a beat down over his lies but he got paid for it so he laughin to the bank.
Only dumb ass rap fans care if someone is authentic. No wonder so many nig*as are in jail. Why get a real job to feed the family right?
Say man dont put this situation all on niggas, Niggas been riding with Ross since day one because we got family that work them same jobs and people from our community that need them brothers working them jobs to look out for our Fam. All that authentic talk on here is sheltered white children that still believe that JayZ was a Cocaine Boss and that Eminem was a serial killer.
Nobody ever believed me was a serial killer

ol hatin ass niggas! Rick Ross is the realest rapper since Dr. Dre and Jay-Z, and Deeper Than Rap outsod Get Rich or Die Tryin, so he won the beef. Ross has 4 classics, best rapper. swag
400k is not the same thing as over 8 million.
” the realest rapper since Dr. Dre”
Do some research fool.
@SoIcyBoi
He is a good rapper but not a great one, as far as him being “real” I can just look at his team and tell that he is “real” enough because they are always happy, satisfied and spending money LOL.
People in the game LOVE Rozay because they actually know him and get to see how he is and how he gets down, the people who hate him dont even know him.
“People in the game LOVE Rozay because they actually know him and get to see how he is and how he gets down”
Funny joke. Nobody knows who he really is. He hides under a phony persona and lies about his past.
Rick Ross you are the best man.
Love u fake ass mofo.
“Nah he’s never crossed that million”
Total sales are over a million, plus he’s had platinum singles. Just admit your jealous of a man who is clearly doing it much bigger than you. He sells 400K, yet gets money like he went platinum. Not many people can do that. And for the span of 6 albums, and several compilations? lol Rick is winning.
Ross is winning, he didnt have the major figure cosigns he just had a Hit single and he pimped that bitch into an empire.
What an empire it is. Mac Miller money.
He had the Jay Z co-sign and he ain’t getting money like he went platinum. Ross losing.
Nobody cared about you being a CO the problem was lying about it ! everybody will do anything to feed there family nobody is hating on that just be honest about it dnt lie and claim it weren’t you
he didnt even have a family to feed
Family first Bruh, squares can’t understand, my Sister had two kids before she was 18 and half my hustle went ro my two nephews because you gonna feed your family and help your people’s.
LOL wow your sister sounds like a certified hood rat
can i get her number? yo i got $100 will she let me hit it?
He said his slutty ass whore of a sister got pregnant as a teen by a deadbeat so he gave up half his money to pay for another mans kids.
Yo sister shoulda used a condom or closed her damn legs.
what ever happened to abortions?
For real dawg, you never should have mentioned your hoodrat sister or your sucker moves to support her.
He wasn’t saying this shit when he had his security team beat down DJ Vlad for asking him about the TRUTH.
I don’t agree with the DJ Vlad beating or the murder of Sam Ferguson over the CO shit but
Rap music is a lucrative hustle and a chunk of your money comes from suburbanites and these kids dont know the difference between a Cop or a CO, they dont know anything about 5 niggas investing in half a brick and one of those niggas might be a CO and another one might be a mechanic.
You risk losing the suburbanites chunk of money and the nigga panicked and Vlad released the tape….nigga lost a lot of them fans but he gained some new ones too.
Vlad is a fuckin LEGEND!! He brought back Lord Jamar from the grave and gave me some much needed comic relief while Im at work watching Jamar troll white guys.
A lie is a lie. Female shit.
Stop talking about Sam Ferguson murder like Ross had anything to do with that shit. He not about that life.
If a lie is “female shit” then go look yourself in the mirror and lie to yourself that you never told a lie and then put on so e lipstick because you are on some “female shit”.
It sucks we will likely never get to hear Vlad ask Lord Jamar what he thinks about Officer Ricky.
If he is this proud about it..why the fuck did he lie about it in the first place? Thats the question that should be answered.
and why did he have his bodyguards rough up Vlad? why did he call Trick Daddy a sucka? Why did he say it was photoshopped by the haters
What? When did all this happen?
He should said that before instead of lying. He still has to make some sort of ammend with the real Rick Ross.
I love how he’s told his fans 4 different stories about how and why he was a C.O. when he was a young man like he felt he needed to justify having a legit job at that time in his life.
Tell us the 4 stories because I only heard one but you seem like a better researcher than I am.
Please share:
aint got time for that bs. you a groupie nicca anyway.
“This was my best friend, who I ate peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches with, and pork and beans with, my buddy, my partner, my number-one dude. Suddenly I’m talking to him over federal phone calls. Hearing the way it was building, I knew I couldn’t take nothing for granted,” says Ross. “My homey’s father was a huge influence on my life, too . . . He was the one who was like, ‘Yo, go get a job somewhere, man. Go be a fireman. Or go be a fucking corrections officer. Just go sit down somewhere.”
He also said he ran with a team and was asked to take that job and that it was “deeper than rap” and he had a sinister motive for it…
He didn’t even have the beard back then. What a pedophile! Apparently dudes with no hair above their lip are pedos!
You must be clean shaven
Ross couldn’t grow a beard yet when this pic was taken, he had to hustle hard for years so he could afford to get beard implants.
Don’t let what other people think, stop you from doing the things you love – Adolph Hitler
I will say this…the fact that a former correctional officer can bold face lie about his life in such an extreme fashion, and do it with such conviction, like he really BELIEVES what hes saying..thats absolutely impressive! Salute.
THERE IS SOMETHING RETARDED ABOUT THE BLACK RACE N RAP COMMUNITY. YET WE WONDER WHY OTHER RACES TREAT US LIKE RETARDS.FIRST AND FOREMOST RICK ROSS WAS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER NOT A POLICE. SO YOU FOOLS SHOULD GET THAT STRAIGHT.{WHITE PEOPLE BE SAYING BLACK FOLKS DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE}
SECONDLY WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO GET A JOB TO FEED YOUR FAMILY? DO YOU REALLY THINK ANY OF THESE RAPPERS EVER SOLD DRUGS LIKE THEY RAP ABOUT? NO RAPPER EVER SOLD DRUGS OTHER THAN THE REGULAR BAG OF WEED TO THEIR OWN HOMMIES.NEVER ON A MJOR SCALE. IF YALL BELIEVE WHAT ANY RAPPER RAPS ABOUT THEN U ALSO BETTER BELIEVE THAT SYLVESTER STALLONE, STEVEN SEAGAL AND ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ARE ALSO A REAL LIFE ACTION HERO.
IT IS CALLED ENTERTAINMENT IDIOTS. ITS LIKE WWE. AINT NOTHING REAL. I NEVER HEARD OF ANY DRUG KINGPIN WHO WAS MAKING SO MUCH MONEY FROM SELLING DRUGS THAT QUIT IT FOR RAP.IF IT WAS LIKE THAT BELIEVE ME BLACK PEOPLE WONT BE RAPPING ANYMORE. IT DID BE MEXICANS,COLOMBIANS,RUSSIANS AND ITALIANS.
YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER NEVER SOLD A PINCH OF DRUGS. EVER!!
NOT JAY-Z, CURTIS JACKSON,JEEZY,SNOOP, THE LOX, GAME,DR DRE,TUPAC,BIGGIE…NOT ONE OF THEM.
Sorry but half those cats got criminal records that say otherwise
“WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO GET A JOB TO FEED YOUR FAMILY?”
You should ask William that. He still out here making up stories about how he took that job to meet pablo and noreaga instead of just admitting he had a legit job as a young man.
Black people don’t if care about the diffrence between a CO or a cop. There both part of the justice system that has been unjust to the grass roots of the black community dumb ass. In many black communities the police are seen as the enemy. Since Hip Hop has lost is roots and culture to the mainstreem it’s been redefined by record lables and their definition of hip hop has been swallowed by suburban fans and others who dont know what real hip hop is. As a matter of fact the game is so weak right now with so little talent is you hear someone with a nice beat that sounds halfway decent you think he’s the coming of GOD.
Real nigga shit
“When middle class ex law enforcement officers become fake cb4 gangsters”
“We gon’ keep winning”. “We gon’ get this money”. “We gon…”. Blah blah blah. It was funny that he was a CO but not a big deal. After all, the guy’s an entertainer now. He didn’t need to lie about the CO thing. Sure, we hip-hop heads like our icons to be credible, but we also accept that they’re mostly just bullshitting over hot beats.
THIS comment. someone gets its, salute
so many cry babies over someone “entertaining”
You can tell Ross was never about that drug game from the way he glamorizes it in his music. Dope boys ain’t proud of that but they do what they gotta do. William had a football scholarship and went off to study criminal justice, likely because he had aspirations of becoming a real police officer one day but he didn’t have the brains.
because he denied it and said thats not me the haters photo shopped my body. then he made 4 or 5 stories up to try and justify it instead of just being honest.
Eminem denied making racist songs until he was exposed. That’s far worse.
why do Ross fans always try to bring up Eminem like that makes Williams lies okay? I don’t fuck with EM or listen to him but I can tell you he was never a racist as he grew up surrounded by blacks and most of his best friends are black.
Fool lied about it in the 1st place.. Bitch ass fake
I grew up in Carol City. I graduated from the same school as Rick Ross and Flo-Rida, Miami-Carol City Senior High School.
The perception (which Ross has put forth) is that Carol City is the hoodmeaning, some hardcore area, full of projects, liquor stores, gangs and an unsafe place to walk through at night.
But I say, Carol City is not the hood!
This Carol City Cartel drug imagine that Ross raps aboutnever seen it or heard of it!
Carol City is my neighbor hood? I dont think so! Carol City is my neighborhood! You can still walk down 183 Street at night! Hell, Dolphin Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins was built in Carol City! (ca.. 1995) Do you think that those crakkas wouldve put and multi-million dollar stadium in some dilapidated ghetto/hood?
The happy-go-lucky, sing-song rap style of Flo-Rida (another Carol City resident) is a more truthful depiction of the environment we grew up in. Rosss grimy tales of drug dealing in Carol City just seems a little dishonest and contrived.
Never knew Dolphin Stadium was in Rozay’s hood, LMAO. Thats funny.
And there you have it. OP just went in no homo, this nigga Ross livin fantasies, talkin bout shit that don’t exist, making a war zone out of a suburb, a hardcore area out of a cute ass place lol I’m sorry but I just can’t respect a nigga that do shit like that
stupid muthafucka you ever been to brooklyn or chicago or LA plenty of sproting arenas are in fucked up hoods hence why ball players come to certain cities and get jacked nigga just recenty have the fixed area by united center. CHI RAQ. Ross is a fraud he was a CO. Game and Jeezy the last new real niggaz left in the rap game. Say what u want about game but all that shit i heard him being a stripper him getting knoed out him havin a tonue ring never saw none of that shit. however i do see him beatin up the same bitch ass nigga that got baby and wayne shook to come to LA. he was on change of heart but he didnt lie about it. Ross is a fuckin fony he makes good music. Game still be in compton got real og goons and hittaz fuckin wit him!!!!!
It doesn’t matter, people will still buy his records, still go to his shows and still by his mastermind cups. He’s famous now, you readers made him famous. You would be surprised at what rappers did before rapping, some worked at wendys, Kroger, Gamestop, some baked cakes, some turned tricks. Basically, anything to make a dollar. If you have kids that are hungry, then you understand, you gotta make it happen. That’s what responsible fathers do.
he didn’t have any kids though so miss me with that bullshit.
he also didn’t have to lie and throw so many people under the bus.
thats just the type of man he is, if you can call that a man.
We do what we have to do to survive, we go up on work together and work square jobs but its old news we just rehash it to troll white kids online.
It does matter, cuz people eventually get sick of the BS and stop checking for your music. Where’s Game now? Can’t sell a record to save his life.. another fake gangster who lied about his past.
Fuck Officer William Leonard!!
“You have a musical acronym” – Rick Ross
acronym
noun
an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g., ASCII, NASA ).
Nice try, Ricky! I think you mean “acumen.”
He was so proud of himself when he said that shit too. Huge smile on his big dumb head
The dumb monkey can’t even pronounce the brand he named his record label after properly.
I remember he rapped about his Porsche Panorama on one song too.
youtube.com/watch?v=ovn8KW4qhZg
in this interview he claims he was making all these big moves at 17… so if that was the case why go to college to study criminal justice and play football? why work in a prison? CMON RICKY YO STORY DONT ADD UP.
Years later and still no BET special on his past like he claimed!!!
Rick Ross doesn’t understand what Trill means
or what cholesterol means
Neither do you.
Ross interviews are so entertaining. It’s like he really believes all the shit he says. He lives on another planet man I can respect that.

Comment if you cried.
I bet the people who harp on ross for being a co are the same ones who harp on wayne for kissing birdman even though they are father and son.
I bet the same niggas that defend ross are the ones who defend to grown man who are not related kissing each other on the mouth
In order to be a corrections officer, you have to have a clean background and no criminal past.
see now the whole issue is why lie? you took a real Gs name fronted out of the gate for everyone..then come 2 find out u were a c.o ..and even at that point if he admitted it he could of played off that like yah I snuck in shit w.e w.e but he lied and lied until he couldn’t no more
sums up his whole career a lie..even tho hes actually nice on the mic I cant listen 2 it bc I find myself saying wtf u lying though..
hiphop used 2 be authentic now the fags out here like well its jt a gimmick whats wrong with that..what u mean? hiphop is home to the realest fake culture ever now
Shut up fag, your paragraph is about as authentic as Dr Dre being the face of Gangsta Rap in the 90s you ignorant fag.
Did Dre do interviews claiming to have made millions off cocaine, denying his makeup wearing past and saying he can put 1000 gangsters in any hood?
Did Dre pioneer an entire genre of Gangsta Rap and receive a pass from every white guy with freckles despite his makeup wearing past?
Besides no one really cares about Ross past we just use it to troll white people for clicks and views.
Yeah Ross was trolling white people when he was lying about that shit with his tail between his legs.
@anon 1- shut ur bitch ass up. who gives a fuck what you think about my paragraph. check my user name IN MY OPINION.
and
anon4- trolling white people? most white people don’t give a fuck if ross was real or not.. id say about 95 percent don’t care..if anything he was trolling black people who all think they are real.
Sooo… why not just rap about your real life struggle to get in the rap game instead of making up fake drug dealing stories?? Kanye, Drake, Kid Cudi, all these dudes proved you can be successful in the rap game by just being a regular guy. Too late Officer Ricky.. you stole a man’s name and image, lied to the people, bragged about raping women, it’s over for you now.
LOL niggasss is salty!!! ahahaha…its music, music is entertainment, support it or not….LOLLL simple
but yall dont get simple
“he didn’t have any kids though so miss me with that bullshit.”
He had a son with a traitorious mama. 50 cent stole them and took them to las vegas.
Eminem got exposed or making racist rap songs and denying it until the Source threatened to release the tapes and then Eminem tried to sue them and eventually destroyed them.
White people said we should forgive Eminem for his mistake and move on and just focus on his music and ignore his murder/rape lyrics and crossdressing because its just lyrics and not real life.
his son would be like 20 years old if he had a kid when he was hang cuffing his black brothers in prison
50 cent stoled them? bwhahahaah you a idiot
“why do Ross fans always try to bring up Eminem like that makes Williams lies okay? I don’t fuck with EM or listen to him but I can tell you he was never a racist as he grew up surrounded by blacks and most of his best friends are black.”
You are lying just like him. After his black girlfriend broke up, he did a racist song that someone leaked.
the fact that he had a black girlfriend in the first place would suggest that he had to prejudice against people of color.
Look it up, he even admitted he lied sbout hiding the racist song.
He didn’t lie about anything.
Rev
Nobody cares outside of gossip blogs were gay males discuss rappers on some Soap Opera shit and delve into their bank accounts, employment histories and school records. Geeky-Geeks type about the culture instead of living the culture. Kill yourselves you chicken heads.
you seem to care bruh bruh, you replying to every damn comment like Ricky is your daddy. bitch nigga
Only took him 7 years to finally own that shit.
I had two co’s that I went to high school with, and they were chumps in HS, certified lames.
Ain’t no real G getting it in even thinking about trying to work anywhere in or near a jail. MF’ers don’t even want to watch that reality jail bs on tv.
You went to a HS full of chumps and lames and even knew their names…more than one.
My school was mostly Gs and Hustlas and I couldn’t tell you who the chumps and lames were and wouldnt recognize them years later but I feel you.
I thought G’s and Hustlas don’t go to school?
One lame herb tried to sound smart but ended up sounding stupid, he said that Drug Dealers dont “glamorize” the drug life LMFAO, you moronic idiotic fool, drug dealers are the most extravagant bastards on the planet, go look up Meechie you moron.
all that glamorizing and extravagance got him doing life
oh shit Jay-Z responding to comments on DX
This nikka ain’t the only one keeping shit on the down low:
Immortal Technique grew up on the Upper West Side, not on Harlem, plus he went to Penn State University
50 canceled all his shows in Texas after he found out Little J wanted to meet up with him. Also Z-Ro claims he went to a hotel where 50 was at and wanted to fight him cause 50 was making a mockery of the screwed up music and Z-Ro was close to DJ Screw
Yukmoth from Oakland was kidnapped back in the day, he said something about it in a magazine.
Ice Cube ain’t even from South Central, he grew up on View Park
T.I. ain’t from Bankhead, he’s from Riverdale
Big Pun hit Jay-Z head over with a bottle of Cristal, that’s why Jay don’t drink that shit no more
Cormega was supposed to be in the firm, but Nas wasn’t having it
Kurupt don’t claim Philadelphia and as a result of that, he got jumped when he came down here to do a show
Game was never a blood, his brother was
Saigon ain’t from Brooklyn, he from Spring Valley
Freddie Fox and Noreaga used to have beef, Nore freestyled
on rap city and said some dumb shit like “I’ll put Freddie Fox in a box”
keeping shit on the low and straight up lying when faced with evidence and the truth is a totally different.
No, it is not.
Some of the stuff these geeky Ross fanboys come up with to defend their boy is hilarious. Like Nas not wanting Cormega in The Firm somehow makes it okay that Ricky lied about his job locking up drug dealers and other criminals.
What does any of this shit have to do with Rozay being a lying fraud? Do those artists all lie if questioned about those “claims”?
A guy above used the word “geeky” and then used the word “fruad” in the same sentence…the irony, poor kid must think these rap dudes are exempt from criminal prosecution once they start rapping so they can share true criminal acts on wax with impunity. Kids these days. see ya!
“Kurupt don’t claim Philadelphia and as a result of that, he got jumped when he came down here to do a show”
I remember reading somewhere that Philly niggas don’t fuck with Kurupt cause he don’t rep y’all LMAO now that’s some funny shit
T.I. is from west ATL dumbass.
and infamous mobb, Gza, Dj muggs got robbed in the studio instead of mobb deep who were supposed to be there by tru life and etc… What’s your point bro? Nobody asked these guys if that shit happened and they denied it. I don’t think you understand why this guy is whack dawg………………
“A guy above used the word “geeky” and then used the word “fruad” in the same sentence…the irony, ”
This comment is lost on me, how is using the word fraud to describe a crapper who everyone knows built a career off lies ironic?
pun never hit jay-z over the head with a bottle if u don’t believe me go on youtube and find 1 of pun’s right han men cuban linx tell the story jay-z actually wasn’t even there
He should have made a song called Officer Ricky and embraced that shit. Laughed it off and told his story.
“Officer Ricky” has far more of a life than you do.
hows your life sucka? you one here caping for a nicca that dont even know you.
I’m out there working my way to be an accountant. Your life is just jacking off to 50 cent posters. Your hating on a guy who doesn’t care.
“I’m out there working my way to be an accountant.”
lmao at this nicca daydreamin
Officer Ricky got more than us all combined YA POINT STUPID
“I’m out there working my way to be an accountant. Your life is just jacking off to 50 cent posters. Your hating on a guy who doesn’t care.”
oh I see you one of them geeks who still thinks everyone hating on here is a 50 fan… it’s 2014 bro, get with it. Ross is almost finished.
He should have said that in the first place, I might have actually respected him by keeping it 100%. Dude gives hard rappers a bad name. This guy is the only “hard” shit they actually play on the radio. Weak
Some of the most notorious drug dealers in American history were cops, him being a C/O means nothing, it’s just a low paying security job, there is nothing to this.
so why lie
Hell a white guy like eminem has a harder background than rick ross. Eminems from the streets of detroit Michigan meanwhile ross is from a suburb in miami lolol.
Have you ever heard anybody besides yourself refer to Carol City as a suburb? What were the racial demographics of that community in the 80s? Was he raised around people that look like you or people that look like Meek?
His momma had a nice house in an upscale community called ROLLING OAKES ESTATES, not no hood shit. Someone posted this before so I copied it about CC.
“I grew up in Carol City. I graduated from the same school as Rick Ross and Flo-Rida, Miami-Carol City Senior High School.
The perception (which Ross has put forth) is that Carol City is the hoodmeaning, some hardcore area, full of projects, liquor stores, gangs and an unsafe place to walk through at night.
But I say, Carol City is not the hood!
This Carol City Cartel drug imagine that Ross raps aboutnever seen it or heard of it!
Carol City is my neighbor hood? I dont think so! Carol City is my neighborhood! You can still walk down 183 Street at night! Hell, Dolphin Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins was built in Carol City! (ca.. 1995) Do you think that those crakkas wouldve put and multi-million dollar stadium in some dilapidated ghetto/hood?
The happy-go-lucky, sing-song rap style of Flo-Rida (another Carol City resident) is a more truthful depiction of the environment we grew up in. Rosss grimy tales of drug dealing in Carol City just seems a little dishonest and contrived.”
First and far most, DO YOU UNDERDIG???
Damn Rick . 50 Realy Fucked U bro . He take ur baby moma with ur son to shopping . he exposed u as a liar a fake a CO (Biggest Drug Dealer Of miami) . he release a sextape of u with ur Girl Common men u embarassin ur self stop it men and don’t claim that ur makin Money or shit we all know that 50 made more money than you and he’s more rich than u so stop it Men please
50 didnt expose anything, Sam Ferguson exposed the story.
Nobody cares about sex-tapes just ask Kanye West who just wifed the Sex-tape Queen every bitch got a sex tape if her nigga got a IPhone.
Cool you took a niggas ex bitch and her kid shopping, the same shit her future boyfriends will do and no nigga with an ex bitch even cares.
The reality of all that is that Ross is twice a bigger artists than he was before and 50 is no longer even a relevant artist now.
“The reality of all that is that Ross is twice a bigger artists than he was before and 50 is no longer even a relevant artist now.”
Don’t get ahead of yourself. 50 damn near owned a decade and literally shifted the balance of the entire rap game. Shifts that are still being felt. And he’s poised to make a major come back musically with his new label situation. Business wise, it’s not even close. Ross couldn’t even keep a sneaker deal. Ross is only twice as big in the literal sense.
“Ross is twice a bigger artists than he was before ”
not according to album sales
His record sales are NO WHERE NEAR 50’s…. LMAO> You 50 haters are delusional. When yo pay for air play it tricks the clowns into thinking you’re bigger then you really are. Homeboy took the phrase “fake it till you make it” to another level.
Is this “Rick Ross Week” or something??? Four of the most discussed news are about this nigga SMH
They did this with eminem and drake on their release weeks. Get used to it.
You kno u a fan you dont mind these ross articles stop purpin boy.
look how all the comments are hating on this nigga though, he got like 4 fans on here responding to them all!
Rick Ross shits on Run DMC.
Run Dmc? Fool those are legends.
I could most likely convince myself to Hate Ross if I was that type of person but Im not a hater and whatever he has done thats so horrible I have forgiven him already.
One of my favorite rappers is Big Pun and when some people ask me why I still listen to his music after the video came out of him pistol-whipping his wife in front of his kids but I explained to him that I listen to rappers who have robbed people, raped people, murdered people and poisoned their own families with drugs so if I stop listening to Pun should I stop listening to JayZ who shot his blood brother and sold drugs to his mother?
People love Biggie but the LiL Kim documentary detailed the horrendous beatings that Biggie gave Kim and how he forced her to abort his child. Biggie is till the illest and I still love his music.
A rapper lying to an interviewer over his employment might be a horrific and unforgivable act in your world but in my world people who abuse women and backstab friends are much worse but even still I can separate the artist from their past or personal lives.
^^ Why did you write an essay to respond to an obvious troll???
You fool the first line was for the Troll and the rest was in response to the 40 other responses.
still shows how much of a geek you are for caring
“What an empire it is. Mac Miller money”
Mac Miller doesn’t have an empire lol
newsflash, neither does ross.
Ross = our new biggie
Nope. He’s our new MC Gusto.
rozay = new notorious big
Kill yourself new nigga. B.I.G. never fucked with the police
I can’t hate on a real man that put his family before everything and taking his responsabilities as a dad… i have more respect for that man,
Haters will say dude is a fag or a CO when most of yall still hating on yall dad for not doing the right thing for yall… yall should take that niqqa as a exemple…
What do you mean responsibilities as a dad? He had no children when he took that fucking job. He was 19 and fresh outta his first year of college. Wasn’t no bitches until he got rap money.
HE DIDNT HAVE ANY KIDS, HE WAS FEEDING HIMSELF, OR MAYBE HE HAD TO SUPPORT HIS HOODRAT SISTER WHO GOT PREGNANT BY A DEADBEAT LIKE SOME ROSS GROUPIE ON HERE HAD TO DO
I wouldn’t have a problem with him being a CO if he didn’t take the name and image of the real Rick Ross and then try to act like he was doing the same stuff.
stupid muthafucka you ever been to brooklyn or chicago or LA plenty of sproting arenas are in fucked up hoods hence why ball players come to certain cities and get jacked nigga just recenty have the fixed area by united center. CHI RAQ. Ross is a fraud he was a CO. Game and Jeezy the last new real niggaz left in the rap game.

You cant name a nigga he wont slay!!!!!!
bruh 50 made Game’s whole career.
“since 05 GAME has dropped nothin but classic albums and mixtapes”
Even Game himself knows that’s so far from the truth.
Police ass nigga. Fuckboy been lying and lying and lying, now all of a sudden “oh ya man I was a C.O. and to feed my family id do it again”. Fuck outta here nigga. Scared like a lil bitch knowing if the world knew you was a cop with horible rhymes nobody fucked with you. With the behind the scenes backing of Puff and Jay,due there absolute hate of 50cent, Officer ricky managed to trick you stupid folks. Congrats boys, you niggas made a cop rich and opened the fllodgates for the hip hop police.
CO ain’t no cop nigga, still he a lying obese faggot.
he went to college to study criminal justice. he likely had aspirations of becoming a police officer as he didn’t have the smarts to be a lawyer.
“newsflash, neither does ross”
Newsflash, MMG is always being mentioned. It doesn’t take a lot to be considered an empire these days. They never sold like G Unit, but they won’t flame out as fast as those cats did either.
MMG will flame out fast.
its already happening, 145-160k first week, thats like his lowest first week sales ever.
theyre not gonna last as long as g-unit, def already on the decline. wale is the only artist aside from ross to go gold with ambition.. have a feeling mastermind will fall short of gold too.
Please Rick Ross, quit rap and do it again. Your contributions to humanity were far greater as a CO.
One Rick Ross groupie on here said that William worked as a C.O. was because family comes first despite William having no kids and a well off mother. Then groupie said his hoodrat sister had 2 kids from a deadbeat negro before she turned 18 and Ross groupie had to give up half his paychecks to raise his sisters kids!! LMAO
Look how proud he looks to be recognized for his hard work from the white lady!
Funny how till this day hes still trying to spin that c.o story. Dude has a great pr team for the damage control..lie long enough and people forget. Cause all they want to do is be entertained by their idols.
I guess its all for the money and i cant blame ross. Its really these white elitists using him to glorify a lifestyle to boost a certain “sector”. Ross was in the industry for years rapping but only blew up when he took on the kingpin image.
Why does it say Slip N Slide on all his cds? are they still pimpin his azz despite being on Def Jam and running MMG?
Ted Lucas owns that niggas azz for life. Ross does not own any of his publishing.
“People know it’s authentic right here. They know it’s real.” —> says the guy that initially denied having been a CO after his ‘secret’ was leaked.
“Other personnel records include a fingerprint card that was used during a criminal background check, and the resulting report showing that Ross was clean. In a supplemental application, Ross agreed to perform a wide range of correctional officer duties, including “shoot an inmate attempting to escape.””
mah nigga rozay agreed to bust a cap in the ass of any motherfucker trying to get out of them cages and see the light
Dear Rick Ross:
As someone who survived several rap beefs, I’m going to give you some advice. You need to seriously address the threats and attempts on your life. You have worked hard to become a big name in hip-hop. You’ve paid your dues and you’ve grown lyrically since the release of your debut album, Port of Miami, in 2006. You’ve arrived, buddy.
But all this gangster bullshit is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can’t make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you.
You have the Gangster Disciples breathing down your neck because you’ve named-dropped Larry Hoover, the gang’s founder, in your music. Unlike the record and book publishing industries, these bad dudes don’t understand the concept of public domain. They see you getting rich forever by rapping about their leader, and they don’t like it. That’s why they’re on YouTube talking about how you need to go see them and cut a check.
It’s a shame you can’t enjoy life without spending part of your earnings on heavy security or risking your freedom by purchasing an arsenal. Remember, that’s what landed T.I. and Lil Wayne in prison. You don’t want that to happen to you. However, those are the consequences of rapping about being something you’re not.
Hip-hop has a rich history of college guys who never committed a crime rapping about moving kilos of cocaine and taking out snitches. Every gangster rapper takes on the role of a real hood legend to build up street cred. But I don’t want you to fall into the trap of believing you are really a gangster.
Trust me, you don’t want to go out like Biggie Smalls or Tupac. It’s time you squash your beefs.
too long, didn’t read
BUT WHAT DID LORD JAMAR SAY ABOUT DIS!!!
Lord Jamar does most of his interviews with DJ Vlad, who Rick Ross had his bodyguards assault for asking him about his former job locking niggas up in a cell so it’s doubtful we will ever hear Jamar’s perspective on this. Vlad cost Ross a lot of money and now he doesn’t seem to cover anything Ross related.
I feel like it could go one of two ways.
1. Jamar would Salute Ross for being a black man and getting money.
2. Jamar would shake his head all all the fuckery and bullshit that William is putting out into the world, influencing communities all over the country that dealing drugs is super awesome and the path to riches!
Jamar disagrees with Ross lyrical content but salutes him for what he does for Blacks and Latinos in his community and the industry.
Thats basically how I feel about him.
“Jamar disagrees with Ross lyrical content but salutes him for what he does for Blacks and Latinos in his community and the industry.”
in other words he knows he a fraud and a liar but he getting money
Couldn’t pay me to work in a fucking prison. Thats fucked up. Watching dudes shower and shit. Strip searching your black brothers. Locking them up in cells. If I was that desperate I would have learned a trade or started a small business, after all he claims to be a hustler.
you speak the truth.
Suburban whites who don’t have the street IQ to know the difference between a C.O. and a policeman are still heartbroken that Ross doesnt know Pablo Escobar and that JayZ didn’t lose 92 Bricks.
The Streets and people who listen to music for entertainment don’t concern themselves with weather or not Dr Dre was ever a “Gangsta” or if Pusha T ever sold kilograms or if Snoop ever lived off the earnings of a prostitute….we listen to rap-music for the sound of the instruments and the slickness of the poetry.
Suburban whites listen to our music so they can live out a “Ghetto” fantasy through the lives of our rappers which is why they focus so much on what they perceive as real/fake or fabricated/authenticated…our music is their only means of getting a street education so they actually attempt to believe song lyrics are supposed to be biographical criminal confessions.
SUBURBAN WHITES, SUBURBAN WHITES,
HE CONVINCED HIMSELF THAT ONLY SUBURBAN WHITES HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS LYING FRUAD
” Ross agreed to perform a wide range of correctional officer duties, including “shoot an inmate attempting to escape.””
THATS SOME COP SHIT MAH NUCCA
WTF is a street IQ? Where can I take that test? Can i I go down to my local crack spot or bodega or the welfare office and find out what my street IQ is?
A street IQ is having street knowledge its why kids without a street IQ are baffled why Yo Gotti and Nip Hussel are supporters of a rapper that they consider a fraud.
Rappers that are from the streets have a different view of life from kids who blog on Rap forums:
The same bloggers that knock Ross for having a job for a short amount of time will give Dr Dre love even when we all know that Dre never spent a minute in the streets compared to Ross who has multiple people in and out the Feds who he grew up with.
Shit, Gunplay is notorious for drugs and guns and he been with Ross for decades but fanboys ignore that. They killed Ross BF P-Nut and gave his BF Jamar a Fed case but bloggers think Ross isnt a nigga qualified to speak on the streets of his city.
But that’s why so many street rappers do music with Ross and disrespect the opinions and feelings of bloggers who only know him from the internet
“its why kids without a street IQ are baffled why Yo Gotti and Nip Hussel are supporters of a rapper that they consider a fraud.”
Nobody is baffled by that. Ross is popular and they aren’t it’s quite simple.
“Shit, Gunplay is notorious for drugs and guns ”
Gunplay is notorious for being a junkie and USING drugs, not selling them. He’s also notorious for being an industry punching bag. I seen a picture of him getting carried out of his show in Tampa looking like a statue! They knocked that boy out at his own damn show!
As far as the guns, sure we all saw that retard run up on his account without a mask on and pistol whip him on camera like a bitch nigga but that ain’t gangsta.
“Shit, Gunplay is notorious for drugs and guns and he been with Ross for decades but fanboys ignore that”
He been with Ross for decades and got pushed to back burner for Meek, Wale, Stalley, Rockie Fresh and even Omarion. At least 50 put his main niggas on and made them millions, even Yayo got an album out.
Gunplay about to be 35 years old with no release date for his first album. What a long and prosperous career he has in store for himself if he can stay out of prison and not overdose.
How do you know, you only live in your basement. What do you know about the streets
the streets saying Gunplay is a junkie who been knocked out on tape 3 times
wish he just said this from the beginning.. Nigga matured a lot tho
damage is done.
When i was a teenager i worked in a chicken barn, washed cars at at GM dealership, built houses, cut grass, shoveled snow. I would never lie or be ashamed about that because it was part of my path to where I am today.
It’s funny how to get a normal job in the real world you gotta show your work history on your resume to but to to be a street rapper you gotta hide your past and fabricate a new one.
That chicken barn thing could come back to haunt you.
I never get tired of seeing that picture of this fat fraud double hang shaking that white bitch in his nice prison guard uniform.
i just wish he said that in the first place
then why did you deny it in the first place!! sounds like he needs to save his album sales..
i swear this niggas response to every question ever asked is basically “my team gets money. you know. we gon get it. get it. my team. lets get it. lets get this money. you know. we do that. lets get it. get this money. what was the question again?”
Hahahahaha, this is so fuckin true. Corny white and dumb hood rats are loosing their shit over these few words tho. “Ross is rich and u r just a fuckin hater” said every fuckin idioit out there. Also it’s funny how people always say shit like “well most rappers were not really gangsters” while that’s not actually true. There are plenty of rappers who were gangbangers. Don’t get me wrong here, I don’t want my rappers to be super fuckin auhentic but ross takes it to the next level – there is absolutely nothing honest and real about his music. It’s basically pop music for niggaz and pre-teens. Reperative lyrics with the same cliches and basically not saying anything.
I don’t even care about the CO thing anymore. Every rapper talks about shit they haven’t personally done. It’s called telling stories and seeing the world through different perspectives than your own. Kind of like what art is all about. But he should have just picked a different name or paid the real Rick Ross and got his permission to use it. He’s not even alluding to the name. He literally just stole his name and tried to use his image to create his gangster rap persona. Clearly he was never a gangster or sold drugs or he wouldn’t have to do this. But he got away with it and now he’s getting money and reminding all of his fans who gave him that money about how much of it he has. Congratulations to everyone envolved.
he constantly reminding us all how much money he has and how much of a boss he is when no one asked.
after years of denial, Rick Ross just admitted that he once had a legal job upholding the lawbefore going off to become an artist who lies about criminal ties.
what a world.
OMG HES SO BAWSEEE! He played tht whole C.O. thing off with soo much swag. He makin money wit his team so its ok that he stripped searched niggas n shot an inmate. not to mention steal another niggas whole name and reputation. wht a fuckin joke lmaoo
Yeah I think I gave him 2 views on youtube. That’s like 50 cent he should have never had.
i didnt even give him any views mtv vids dont work in my country
Real men do what it takes to feed their family and not worry about what these dummies say out here rappers are just like Hollyweird actors and actress,Its entertainment is all it is , Look up to those true leaders in life Doctors ,Educators not some dude or female rapping get serious people worry bout the wrong crap today period!
he didnt have any kids or a wife to feed
#BEENWINNING
#BEENLOSING
Game > Gunplay > Ja > 50 > Ross
Word
gunplay does not have the catalog to be in that discussion
OFFICER RICKY!!!!! LMAO look at this fat lier, I bet all his r obese or r police 2 cuz they would want there team in the rap game hip hop police. Officer Ricky used to lock up real gangstas now he wants to be 1. Fake fake fake every word he says in his songs is a lie and always has been. U fools that buy n listen to his lies r dumb as fuck.
“Officer Ricky used to lock up real gangstas now he wants to be 1”
You’ve got to be about 12 years old. Being locked up doesn’t make somebody a gangster, it makes them an idiot.
Man, I wish Hip Hop DX would close the comments section so fuc#ing dumb asses like you couldn’t comment.
“Being locked up doesn’t make somebody a gangster, it makes them an idiot.”
Rick Ross would disagree with you on that as he claims to have so many homies serving life! LOL
Finally this guy speaks up on it. I can respect it a little more. This guy is still an actor though. There’s nothing wrong with that, his music is pretty mediocre, and he needs this image to get his money.
17 I WAS CHARGIN NIGGAS 17
Denies actual photo of him is real, then claims to be authentic.
Ross “You ‘underddig?”
that video is definitely worth a watch, watch how quickly he falls back into deflection mode
I love how he just changes the subject and starts talking about how much of a boss he is and what kind of cars him and his associates all drive like anyone gives 2 shits about his wealth.
So how come none of his music is real? It’s not like he has to be a fucking gangsta to make real music.
Ross deserves a academy award for his acting just like:
Nas
Mobb Deep
Lil wayne
Dr Dre
Ice Cube
All fake gangstas that made money with being FAKE
When you finally get a social life, you’ll look back on your internet trolling and laugh.
Dont ever compare Mobb Deep to Rick Ross. Prodigy did 3.5 years in prison for a gun. Ross spent 18 months in a prison as a job. He even got caught with guns before but never any charge…. hmmmm police connections?
I wish eminem could produce more films.
Everybody on your list made money because they can rap and make beats. Rick Ross would have a writer’s block if he had to rap about something other than money or food. Everything else is really irrelevant but he(RR)went out of his way to try to convince ya’ll about his former life as Freeway Ricky Ross and denied his real former life as officer Roberts like it really would’ve made a difference. If he would’ve came clean before being exposed he would be more respected, he fucked that up himself.
lil wayne did a prison bid too so he’s more gangsta. Ross never spent a night in a cell but i’m sure he spent hundreds of nights locking niggas in cells.
don’t hide ur past… embrace who u r & were! its all apart of being a man feeding ur kids & embracing responsibility
I never understood the sh#t Rick Ross got for being a CO. It was a job, what should he have done, starved?
Yes, he fu#ked up denying it, but he had an image as a gangster rapper to protect, so I can understand why he did.
He’s owning that now, and all of you haters can hate, but I know I’d rather be in Rick Ross’ position than any of you broke ass internet warriors.
“what should he have done, starved”
might have been good for him nah mean? he was carrying a lot of extra weight if you know what i mean
C.O. = BAWSE!!!!!
“People know it’s authentic right here. They know it’s real.”
REALLY?
Stealing identities and rapping about a fake life, smh this is why American Rap died
lyers fakes and frauds, this federal infiltrator is a homosexual, a luceferian deviant, 50 aired it . this fag is a lie, like he said in devil is a lie. bitch imma lie fuck this fraud
a gangster rapper wasn’t actually a gangster in real life? Shocking.
99% of the dudes that rap about how G they are are completely made up in the studio. You’re pretty fucking dumb if you don’t realize that.
shut up….gangstas want to rappers and rappers want to be gangstas…..understand that philosophy, and then go back to your comment. get the phuxx out da game
And anonymous you wants to be a blogger in a pool of pis
People and some artists understand that it’s entertainment otherwise they would be in a cell or casket. It’s when they try to convince you and themselves that the shit is or was actually their life it’s when they end up looking stupid in front of their fans and it never had to be that way to begin with.
50 already ruined your reputation and you made it worse by fronting like you never was a CO…now you acting like you never was frontin…..which makes you two times a fronter and fraud.
Double fronting gotta be a felony somewhere.
has anyone ever triple fronted
lmao!!!! really….a felony indeed. And triple frontin?? aww man…you might as well, just hang yourself…lol
I wouldn’t even mind Rick Ross as much if he wasn’t so extremely fake. Telling stories through your raps is one thing, and I don’t even mind him rapping about crimes he did not commit, I mind the fact that he acts so incredibly fake and he tries so hard to be a gangster. Being forced to commit crimes is not something to be proud of, it’s something some people have to live through. When you see an interview of Ross, the whole act, it’s just pathetic. Granted, a job as a CO isn’t an honourable position, but if you’re ashamed of working WITH the law rather than against, there is something seriously wrong with you.
Fuck Rick Ross.
Next, some army veteran will become a rapper and you will all hate just because he was a veteran.
Dumbass. Ice T, No Malice, Canibus, Mystical, Nate Dogg were all military. Your boy Rozay lied about having an honest job like that’s a bad thing, don’t act like he lost respect for having that job, he lost respect for lying and now he’s backtracking.
no one would ever hate on a veteran for serving their country, especially if they were rapping about it and keeping it real.
i would actually love to here some battlefield war raps, shit at least those guys are really out there killin.
i respect the hell out of the soldiers but not a lot of respect for a c.o., especially if he was a dirty one, thats like a crooked fucking cop.
Your boy, eminem, made racist songs and then lied about it, worse than hiding your job. Who cares if you are a CO? Ross fans all know its just entertainment.
Ross fans all know its just entertainment.
That would’ve gotten a pass if he said that FROM THE BEGINNING and not after getting caught lying on a life he push to convince you fans was actually his. I mean it was Rick Ross’ life just not Officer William Roberts life, now his fans like yourself have to resort to bring up other rappers pasts to try to justify your boy’s past and the article is not about them.
“Your boy, eminem, made racist songs and then lied about it, worse than hiding your job. Who cares if you are a CO? Ross fans all know its just entertainment.”
Em is not my boy, I never gave him a pass and I don’t listen to his music but at least he really from the hood.
It’s funny how Ross fanboys always bring up Eminem out of nowhere. Eminem never put on a fake persona outside of music.
I knew it muthafucka lying no good bastard thought he had us fooled lets get his ass yall
Let me grab my pitch fork and light my torch and I will be with the posse in just a moment.
he had you fooled? haha
But if u r a co that means ur record is clean .then Ross is always talking about being a capo or a gangsta that sold drugs . What a fucking actor.he never sold drugs or being in these streets like that so stop lieing
I guess non of you heard of CO’S who work them drugs in them jails. That where the money is the mark up rate is high as shit. You get ten on the street they get 100 inside. Don’t be a fool.
If he was hustling like he claims he would still be making more on the outside moving real weight not lil dime bags in prison smuggled in his crack.
NJBone That’s true but that wasn’t him, he claimed moving work across the Atlantic not smuggling contraband like the real Rick Ross was. If he was really doing any of that shit in jail he’s dumb enough to have said that by now.
The same bloggers that knock Ross for having a job for a short amount of time will give Dr Dre love even when we all know that Dre never spent a minute in the streets compared to Ross who has multiple people in and out the Feds who he grew up with.
Dr. Dre was always a hip hop musician and made plenty of classics before people gave a fuck about what rappers do or did off stage.
PS Hood cats aren’t always gangstas or dopeboys, some play ball, some rap, some study, some have jobs and just happen to decent people in the wrong neighborhood.
stfu…I dont ever remember Dre fronting and pretending when something was called out about him. Cube said, Dre used to wear make up, and Dre never denied it. get out da game…u sound brand new, and dont know hip hop g codes….sucka!
STFU and learn to read. I wasn’t saying anything bad about Dre, that was an idiot’s comment and my reply was after the double space. So whoever wrote the first paragraph was the brand new one, get it straight.
“The same bloggers that knock Ross for having a job for a short amount of time will give Dr Dre love even when we all know that Dre never spent a minute in the streets ”
Dre hasnt been on that hood shit for well over a decade and I don’t think he ever fronted that hard outside of the studio but you can’t say he wasn’t around the streets when he deathrow and bad boy were all beefing and niggas was getting killed.
I grew up with people in prison too. That doesn’t make me real or a gangster by association. Just means I know some criminals.
stfu 2…..you made it seem like Dre was a frontin nigga like ross is….and so, I cleared the air on that. getdaphuxxouttahere…go back to your pop music
You sir are a dumb ass.
No Im not.
Yes, you are.
No Im not bitch hater.
Yes, you are, dickrider.
the rapper said it was likely altered and that “online hackers” placed his face on another man’s body.
Why lie nigga…if real is what you are nigga…you are living ya life off another man’s name nigga…fuck outta here nigga…
Ross’s head from the 90’s really did look photoshopped.
same goes for a lot of obese people, their bodies are too big for their head
HAHA look at at mother fucking picture! His fat ass is over flowing out of his government issued police officer’s uniform while slow dancing with an ugly ass white ho. Oh my god that is some embarrassing shit. Being famous almost isn’t worth the money when this is the shit you got to deal with.
she doesn’t seem that ugly, its a bad quality picture
Is she your mom or something? Shes ugly as sin!
at least she can see her toes
Now he just needs to come clean and pay homage to the man he stole his name from.
Back in his denying and lying days he actually concoted a story to say he didn’t take his name from Freeway but that it was from his football team mates mis pronouncing his nickname big boss as Rick Ross and that he just ran with it. LMAO.
he wont cuz hes a chep bitch who wont break bred with the real drug dealer that hes playing, theres a lawsuit going on and a movie being made that will expose this. this mother fucker shouts out ppl that he messed up there apeal in songs, i really think somebodies gunna end up killin him
Pay homage to an ex drug dealer with no credibility and no way to make legit money now. Makes sense….
makes sense to me,id do WHATEVER to feed my family.Being a real criminal is less appealing cause your gonna get fucked in the shower eventually.Being a cop is awful because you have to protect a society that doesn’t like you for one reason or another for low pay,but PLAYING a criminal makes stupid sense!It makes so much sense REAL gangsters want to play gangsters just to rap smh…Rick Ross is smarter then you….AND the real Rick Ross lol
he didnt have a family to feed and if you believe what he says he was still a criminal the whole time so i dont see how thats smart

in their own warped heads, mmg thinks that. truth is…all this jabbering is really worrying knowing 50’s album is dropping in june….ross, and haters were taking advantage of the situation saying 50 is irrelevent, knowing dam well, 50’s LP was being held hostage by jimmy…but now…all this talk, years laters, is a sign, that this phat nigga is shook and, now, years later, trying to act like he wasnt frontin…..bawse?!?!?!?!…..naw nigga naw…..sauce!!
this clown finally admits to being a correctional officer…….5 years after the picture first came out……lol…….should have said it from the beginning…..it is a damn shame when we glorify fake drug dealers and real dealers over people who have legitimate jobs……one of the reasons we have so many problems with in our communities
Actually some of the biggest drug dealers work as police and correctional officer. Hell, it’s a lot of niggaz in the military flipping keys. Obviously you’ve never been locked up before and seen crooked C.O’s.
stop it 5, ross ain’t denzel and this ain’t training day
yup and your such a smart criminal you put that your a criminal in your name obviously your a fuckboy. rick ross isnt his real name its william roberts hes playing a charater freeway rick ross a real drug dealer who dont cosign this fuckboy co. how are gunna have anoher man that doesnt like you tattoed on you
@smartcriminal no i have never been locked up and i am proud of it
I got friends that tell obvious lies all the time. I don’t even say nothing about it I just not my head and agree with them. Then when they not around me and the homies all have a good laugh about all those blatant lies. It doesn’t make them bad but I just don’t get why they have to lie over the dumbest stuff sometimes.
I assume thats how a lot of Rick Ross’ peers look at him. They know he’s lying but he’s not really hurting anyone and it don’t make him a terrible person so they let it slide and get money with him but definitely laugh at him when he’s not around.
Diddy was the ultimate liar of all time, and nobody talked behind his back. They were too busy cashing the checks he gave them. That’s how it is with Ross. His people may not respect him 100%, but they realize without him they’d be homeless.
that is the realest shit ive read in a comments sections, some people just deluded haha always telling lies to seem cool but making themselves look like fools
The shit that sounds like a flute in “Jesus Walks” by Kanye West is actually vocals by John Legend.
Just gotta listen to Triple Beam Dreams and decide which verse moves you more. There’s the difference that highlights what Ross is as a rapper. He has his place, but I just can’t consider him a top calibre emcee. I wish he could just exec produce for some other people instead, as his ear (or whoever manages his production) is undeniably good.
Does Rick Ross Really Have $92 Million In His Checking Account? Random Celebrity Article By Brian Warner on March 5, 2014
http://www.celebritynetworth.c…
ver the last few days we’ve received a few angry emails and comments from Celebrity Net Worth visitors who believe our estimate for Rick Ross’ net worth is way too low. We currently have Mr. Ross at $28 million.
Not exactly a pittance, but according to the angry emails, this number
should be raised to $92 million. More precisely, they think the number
should be raised to $92,153,183.28. Where are people getting this number? None other than Ricky Rozay himself! Here’s what’s going on
On March 3, 2014, Rick Ross
released his sixth studio album “Mastermind”. The third track of the
album is called “Drug Dealers Dream”. Not to be picky, but the word
“Dealers” in that song title should technically be “Dealer’s”. That’s a
possessive noun. This track starts out with an audio recording of one of
those automated voices reading a bank checking account balance. The
automated voice dryly states: “Please hold while I locate your
information. Your checking account balance is $92,153,183.28. This
reflects the most current information available on your account.” You can hear the track and the song opening on this Spotify embed:
(For this to work you need to have a spotify account, and the app will open if it isn’t already)
Clearly the implication here is that Rick Ross called up his bank,
selected the option to check his account balance and then recorded the
results. All $92 million worth of results. But is this possible? Could
Rick Ross really have this much money sitting in checking? Is he
following the Floyd Mayweather savings and investment plan? (A few
months back, Floyd Mayweather showed a reporter his ATM receipt that had
a checking account balance of $125 million.) Or is this just a run-of-the-mill rapper exaggeration?
First off, if somehow this brag is true, keeping $92 million in a
checking account would be a colossally stupid way to allocate money.
Checking accounts might AT MOST earn around 0.50%
interest nowadays. The national average is probably closer to 0.10%.
Splitting the difference, Rick would be earning just $184,000 in
interest per year off his massive wealth. That’s not nothing, but as any
basic financial planner would explain, taking the money out of checking
and putting it into mutual funds, ETFs, maybe a few stocks, should
conservatively be able to yield a 5% rate. That would bring Mr. Ross
$4.6 million a year from interest alone. If he got lucky with the right
hedge fund, Rick might be looking at $10-$15 million.
The second
big problem with keeping that much money in checking is the fact that
only $500,000 is insured by the FDIC. If Rick’s bank goes under, which
as well know isn’t exactly impossible nowadays, Rick’s money would
evaporate overnight without any recourse.
Ok so we’ve established
that keeping $92 million in checking is clearly a bad idea. The more
important question is whether or not Rick Ross actually has $92 million
in the first place. Our current estimation of Rick’s net worth is $28
million. That number might go up in a few weeks when we release our
annual list of the richest rappers
on the planet, but we’re talking about a bump of maybe $5-6 million.
Definitely not $62 million. Don’t trust us? Well according to Forbes,
which we think is a little too conservative with their estimates, Rick
earned $6 million in 2012 and $9 million in 2013. That’s a grand total
of $15 million during what were arguably Rick’s peak earning years to
date.
Let’s also keep in mind that in order to have a checking
account balance of $92 million, Rick would conceivably needed to earn a
little less than twice that amount before taxes. And that’s before he
spent a dime on cars, jewelry, houses, private jets, vacations and
biggest expense of them all for Rick: Food. Even if Rick was the most
penny-pinching saver in the world, we’re still talking about $200-$250 million
in earnings over the last 3-4 years, in order to be left with such a
gargantuan bank account. Unfortunately, this isn’t reality. Even for Mr.
Maybach Music himself.
In conclusion, it’s pretty safe to say that this is simply one rapper making an extremely over-exaggerated brag.
“Let’s also keep in mind that in order to have a checking
account balance of $92 million”
Why is a guy not worth 92 million trying to expose another guy not worth 92 million? Who cares? The point being Ross is living comfortably.
Thanks to lies.
^^ LMAO, really nigga?? If that’s the case then every rapper is rich due to lies, INCLUDING YOUR HERO 50 CENT.
Clearly dentalboy in disguise making up lies.
“Ice T, No Malice, Canibus, Mystical, Nate Dogg were all military”
Then why did they rap about selling drugs, gangs, and the same material trappings as Ross? Canibus is broke as a joke, and Nate Dogg died leaving his fam high and dry. At least Ross is providing for his even if his day job is drenched in lies.
They didn’t rap about the same shit as Ross. They didn’t make up a drug-dealer persona and lie about their past.
“Prodigy did 3.5 years in prison for a gun”
And that makes him real?
Comparing to Ross? Yes, it does.
Diddy had his artists do what he calls “power sessions”, making them perform oral sex on him to prove he has more power than they do. Does THAT make him real?!?!?!?!
“Ross does not own any of his publishing”
Neither does Nas.
wtf? lol y’all Jay-Z fans can’t spend a day without mentioning Nas right? smh lame ass niggas
I’m tired of reading about this nigga. Let’s talk about Jay tho. Y’all remember when he dissed Jayo Felony with that “Jayo you not a felon u a misdeamenor” shit?
Bizzy Bone, Bun B and Cee Lo are all grandfathers tho
No.
What? That wasn’t a good enough answer for you? What more do you need to know? You’re really gonna make us get into this??? Ughhh. OK fine.

“Comparing to Ross? Yes, it does”
Ross is worth 30 million. Prodigy isn’t even worth 10, and has no career. Now who’s real.
money dont make you real. mobb deep got classics, william does not.
Ross isn’t even worth $30 million.
and theres a huge difference between net worth and actually having that money.
funny how he done a complete 180… must have his PR team coming up with this shit
how you go from lying and denying it to saying you would do it again?
I dunno how anyone can look at that picture above and still listen to this man rap about selling keys. WWF
This guy is an idot.
All these black rappers who talk like this are idiots. The guy was a CO now he is a gangsta rapper? lol come on. Tomorrow he will be washed up with no money like all the other ones.
