Rick Ross has been accused of lying about the nature of his past work as a correctional officer after previously stating he only worked in a prison for four months.
Internet personality 1090 Jake shared alleged paperwork on Instagram on Tuesday (April 16) that claims to reveal the MMG mogul was employed by the Department of Corrections in Florida for a year and a half.
One document, purportedly signed by Ross (real name William Roberts), is dated December 29, 1995, while another is of him handing in his notice on June 2, 1997.
There is also an alleged Certificate of Appreciation dated September 7, 1996, commemorating his service as “a perfect attendance employee.”
1090 Jake, who has built a reputation for exposing rappers, gang members and other online personalities, dug up the paperwork in defense of Drake, who Rick Ross has been publicly feuding with in recent days.
“Since he keep callin @champagnepapi a Whiteboy He woke the Real Whiteboy up [laughing emoji],” he wrote in his caption. “yall want this video?. He said he only lasted 4 months but the paperwork says 95-97 with a Perfect Attendance lmk.”
The Teflon Don rapper quickly responded to the claims by digging up alleged police paperwork of his own and labeling Jake a “rat.”
Drake has also started following the internet personality on Instagram in an apparent dig at his former friend and collaborator.
Rick Ross’ history as a correctional officer is no secret after it was brought up during the his high-profile feud with 50 Cent in the late 2000s.
He spoke about his time working as a C.O. during a 2022 appearance on the Full Send Podcast.
“Maybe when I was 20,” he said. “I didn’t really get to make it to the prison ’cause you gotta go through training and all that, and I didn’t last long. I may have lasted four months and they said I was a lil’ tardy.”
The Biggest Bawse then described the paycheck as “horrendous” as it amounted to roughly $500 every two weeks, which fell well short of what he could’ve been making hustling.
He also claimed he didn’t like the amount of exercise that the job entailed.
Rozay has, however, previously said that he was employed as a correctional officer for 18 months, which would match up with Jake’s alleged documents.
He said in 2008 after documents were leaked linking the rapper to a stint at the South Florida Reception Centre: “I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my CDs. My company has my [Social Security number]. I could’ve put a company name…I done been up and I done been down, and that’s what makes me what I am.
“I never ratted on a n-gga. I never prosecuted a n-gga. I never locked up a n-gga, that’s first and foremost. I always felt that me being the n-gga that I am, I never owed a n-gga an explanation.
“When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off cocaine, it’s because I did it. Those are the street principals that apply.”
lol perfect attendance certificate that’s violating right there
Ross ought to be happy for this era. He got signed to Suave House in 1998, and he didn’t get mainstream success until eight years later because he couldn’t have survived during that time. I’m sure he was writing for a lot of people behind the scenes and shit because he was connected to a lot of people, but the fact is that the rap thing wasn’t going to happen until the corporate suburban era of rap commenced.
Lets keep it 100. Whether he did 4 months or over a year, whats the difference ? He was there. Either you riding with Ross or you aint. I used to feel the same way about the whole “Officer Ross” thing, but then I realized something….correction officers be crooked as fuck. When they sneak in contraband in, who lets it slide ? When theres a beatdown or a shanking, who turns a blind eye or even sets a prisoner up ? And lets not even talk about female corrections officers that be fucking the inmates. Drake is pop garbage, he invented singing rap. He got pissed on in a movie theater. He got a nose job. Forget if he was trying to look white, nose jobs are for women (and Michael Jackson) and didnt Prince outlive Mike Jack ?
That’s the honest to God truth. The one CO I knew got in trouble for fucking all of the female inmates. He was probably the cool CO who let a lot of shit slide, but he got caught out there lying about it, so it made it bad on him when people went to digging.
Drake didn’t invent singing rap. That has been around since the 80’s. DJ Quick did it on the Bombudd series. Boogie Down Productions “9mm Goes Bang”, Grand PUba on “what’s the 411”. Shit, the entire PM Dawn catalog was singing rap (initially was a rapper and slowly transitioned into R&B). Eazy E on “I’d Rather Fuck You”. Drake probably does it more than anyone else, but he certainly didn’t invent it.
Finally! Someone who actually knows about Hip-Hop.
I treat cops with the utmost respect . I salute you Ricky #BlueLivesMatter
Ftp
Thanks for supporting and advocating government tyranny. Police are the government, and kill more of its own citizens in 30 DAYS than ALL Western Democracies combined in 10 years. People like you, are the reason the government provides Qualified Immunity for itself.
Should anyone be worried about what he did in the past before his rap career blew up “NO!”, because he wasn’t no snitch to these streets ok and that is what counts and another thing that counts is he is a boss and as long as is keeping his workers paid then everything is all good ok and before William Roberts was Rick Ross I was Rick Ross ok and I chose him to be Rick Ross because i knew that he wasn’t no snitch ok so that is that ok I can’t say the same thing about 1090 Jake are DJ Vlad ok !.

CO’s have a shit paycheck. At least he really started from the bottom unlike you priveledged WHITE BOOOOOOI! 👃🏻👃🏻👃🏻
Started from the bottom by locking people coming from the bottom up.
@Rozay – you do realize a CO’s job is not to lock people up, right? They’re a glorified babysitter to inmates.
Not true in Fla, When the police do raids here, the cops with the mask on are COs, str8 up ! Guns and all , they too help arrest people so, he was a cop frfr !
^ facts. Dumb niccas like Rozay here love to speak on things they know nothing about. Probably doesn’t even know the difference between a doctor and an emt.

ACCUSATIONS!!!!
FALSE ACCUSATIONS!!!!
Rozay is probably working undercover for the Feds. Y’all better be quiet around him
Yeah thanks, I’ll keep that in mind next time I see him.
So what? It was a news story in the late aughts when we found out he actuallt wasnt cocaine kingpin Freeway Rick Ross who was in jail. Oh no! An extra year working as a corrections officer! Dawg, CO isnt a glamorous job. Ross survived this BS for the last decade. Dude been in gun car chases and shot at since then and he is ballin out on a farm with his barn animals. This journalism on this website is tabloid news TMZ’s worst, at best.
“When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off cocaine, it’s because I did it. Those are the street principals that apply.”
HAHAHA GTFOH
Today anyone can be Rick Ross. We don’t care about the value or the history of the name anymore. My actual dog goes by Rick Ross. We don’t care. OK?!
He’s born in Mississippi, he’s not from Miami and he’s fake
