Rick Ross’s ankle bracelet went off while in The White House visiting President Obama Friday (April 15), according to TMZ.
The President invited several rappers, including Nicki Minaj, J. Cole and Rick Ross, to talk about the “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, which aims to keep young minority men out of trouble. The bracelet went off after President Obama delivered his speech at the gathering.
The Miami rapper wears an ankle bracelet as part of his 2015 kidnapping and pistol-whipping case.

President Barack Obama invited Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Rick Ross and Pusha T among other Hip Hop notables to the White House to discuss the “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative and criminal justice reform on Friday (April 15).
The meeting wasn’t publicly announced however, it was confirmed by the Associated Press.
DJ Khaled captured the meeting on Snapchat and shared one of his moments with J. Cole on Instagram captioning, “Today I met @barackobama. Had the biggest cloth talk you could imagine.”
“I can’t even explain to ya’ll what just happened,” Ludacris says on Khaled’s Snapchat story. “History has been made.”
“Met with President Obama today to discuss a few things that happen to be very dear to my [heart emoji],” Nicki captioned on an Instagram post of her autographed photo of President Obama. “I am #MyBrothersKeeper.”
The president employed the “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative in February 2014 to help keep young males out of the criminal justice system and improve their access to higher education while addressing the challenges faced by minority men.
President Obama discussed “My Brother’s Keeper” with Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar last year in a “Pay It Forward” campaign focused on mentorship.
DJ Khaled‘s Snapchat story and Instagram post of the “My Brother’s Keeper” meeting is as follows.
Nicki Minaj, Ludacris and Common’s Instagram posts about “My Brother’s Keeper” are as follows.
“I would love to work with Donald Trump,” Ross revealed in an interview. “I’m pretty sure there are some ventures we could attack. There’s some money out there for us to get. I just love what Don represents,. Ridin’ out here in New York, you look over and see so much of his real estate. It’s just a good thing…Tell him to get at me.” (Rap-Up)
“Met with President Obama today to discuss a few things that happen to be very dear to my [heart emoji],”…. yo who else thinks Nicki really out here begging the president to help Meek stop taking so many L’s?
why did yall put struggle rapper Rick Ross name in the headline but leave out artists that cats that actually went platinum like J Cole, Ludacris, Timbaland and Common??
isnt Nicki’s brother an alleged child rapist and or pedo?? she probably shouldnt be using the hashtag #myBrothersKeeper
Obama want that nicki booty
Not one real rapper there. Not 50 not nas not jeezy or jayz wtf.
Why did you put Rick Ross and DJ Khaled in the headline?
Hes trying to change the criminal justice system where people dont go to jail for 15 years just bc they got caught with a marijuana joint. OF Course the Establishment is NOT going to let him do that, they didnt even let him close Guantanamo.
No invitation for the snitch 5-0 I see. #SNITCHPROBLEMS
They don’t let gangsters in the white house.. just non threatening pop stars and fake thugs who use to work for the law locking up his young black brothers
these illuminati are pushing theyr shitty celebritys all the way up to the white house, fuck all this
Rick fake ass Ross and Pusher T?
Drug dealer rap in the White House.. The war on sanity continues.
Kendrick is a yes… J. Cole is a definite..
But wannabe thugs and fake flossy rappers who sell negative imagery for a living basically work for the government helping promote jail life…
#endofdays
Zz.
Maybe that his purpose, to reach out to those rappers with big followings to influence them to send more positive messages. Hence “my brothers keeper” meeting
It aint about the lyrics. It’s about influence and visibility. U gotta see them as living advertise in this context like actors and tv host. If u wanna deliver a important message, u must dot it with the best channels. Rick ross, either you like or not, is a famous and huge hip hop figure and he’s good at selling products ( ciroc, belaire, wingstop). Pusha t is the ceo of good music, kanye’s label. Don’t need to argue Kanye’s populartiy. ( excuse my english. I’m french by the way)
Sick Caucasians will find a way to turn this event into something negative and try to criticize it because of the subject matter in some of these artists lyrics. That’s the nature of the beast. Like it or not these artists have major influence in their communities and even nationwide so if you can get them to engage in positive activities it’s for the betterment of our community. Salute the president for doing a lil something to positive for our people and making Caucasians turn red in the face in the process.
yo comment iz pure garbage muthafucka! At the days end these artist provide 4 they families they just want idiots like u 2 buy they shit and show up in the arenas when they tour. Why u get out of that?????
LMAO. I am white and I would just like to say thank you for helping to keep racism alive with your bigoted remarks. Also, it’s great to see that you are keeping things positive
Did they discuss Max B?
I wouldn’t think the purpose of the meeting was to get the most influential rappers in Hip Hop that has a major influence on this generation and talk to them at length about sending out more positive messages. I mean this is the President as a Blackman he didn’t get to where he’s at by crime drug selling pimping and flossing. He told them artists it’s time to show these youth more positive images to follow and the music is the main source these kids are.following today. So change the messages and get those young healthy strong powerful black minds of our youth on the right track!
I’m gonna get some of Nicki’s sweet ass too when I get elected, being President opens many doors people
What role models are Pusha T Rick Ross and fkn Nikki Nasty Minaj?? The president has lost is damn mind once again! Smh
It isn’t to say they are his role models, but they are to others. And by him reaching them to reach out to their followers.
That nigga is almost at the end of his term he don’t give a fuck no more.
They are good role models in some type of way. But who the F are you ? A nobody
Thank you Mr. President for the simple, but “Amazing Affromation” that the U.S. White House door are open to All Americans. Also, thank you for I Am “My Brother’s Keeper.” Respect.

@love bites. We heard you the first time f’aggot.
How can only helping a few blacks with “My Brother Keeper” do when Chicago just admitted they had a racist police dept, just a bigger Ferguson up the the road, with President Obama right hand man in the Mayor with a 1% of his race populated Chicago, worked for Chicago having a black President (biracial) who not the black President BS but the President of all American ain’t stopping that increase in shooting in Chicago 85% in 2016!
The thugs he had at the White House is about themselves and that cool but they are being used right now as Rick Ross is out on bail for kidnapping and assaulting his freaking gardener (pistol whip) yet he and Nikki with fake top and bottom so other black girls can get the hook-up and be the circus chick. President Should have got the Team together before going out the door.
What I am saying is, right now as a mortgage loan officer i know of 400,000 blacks and Hispanics illegally foreclosed yet the President got some clown heading to prison for beating up the help. I am looking at how many time the ex-crack dealer Jay Z been to the White House and help anybody or what about buying teeth for the crack customers of his? I know of 800,000 total government insured loan that request President Obama other program in “The Parents of My Brother Keeper Making Home Affordable” never received a review under the HAMP, FHA HAMP or VA HAMP but instead all were illegally foreclosed!
America is due $264 billion from the illegal foreclosures and false claims with the treble damage, however President Obama meeting with these entertainers with lyrics that are banned from the radio and TV. I am cool with what they do, however its not fitting for conforming with most children getting through school or sounding the alarm it the crime in Housing!
follow this agenda, use this symbols, pretend we are friends cause we are black, etc
this fake ass fraud going around with a fake ankle bracelet he borrowed from his c.o. besties. like whats the point in even putting an ankle bracelet on someone if they are allowed to travel freely, he was just in UK performing in an empty stadium (French Montana and YG pulled)
Fuck rick rolly polly ross throw his ass in the florida pen and let see how much fun the inmates have with him and lets get guwop sprung get him in that white house take it over and first item.on his list get rid of obama hillary and trump lol
Why yall always trying pick apart the things that breeds positivity? You’ve been conditioned to hate things that are good, Sad thing is you don’t even realize you do that shit.
I just want to be that outfit Nicky is rocking, wrapped all over that fine body. And also, thank the universe for spandex and yoga pants! For without them, my commute to work would be about as exciting as Rich Homie Quans freestyle on Tim Westwood’s TV…ZAaaaaap!
Go wrap your hand around a plastic drink cup and it will feel basicaly the exact same as that fake ass hoe
Go wrap your hand around a plastic drink cup and it will feel basicaly the exact same as that fake ass hoe
Obama is a joke…when Roots were invited was ok cuz they rep the cultural part of rap but inviting a w h o r e, a fake drog dealer and a re t a r d e d islamist makes me sick
yo keep ignoring statistics and banging my brothas, we can take the white man down with our crime and murder rates while they all fret over whether their hair is racist #MyBrothersAlibi
I’d say call me when you need a job but… we all know you’re happy with government aid.
