Rapper Rick Ross — drug kingpin turned chart-topping rapper or former corrections officer? Though Ross initially claimed 1995 photos of him graduating from the Department Of Corrections were doctored (“fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake”), the Smoking Gun released documents proving that the professed gangsta, who took his named from LA drug trafficker Freeway Rick Ross, was once prison guard William Roberts. Faced with this evidence, Ross has given Don Diva magazine an interview that kinda sorta maybe acknowledges what side of the law he started on, while loudly reaffirming his criminal code.
When I’m making my music and talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say I’m rich off cocaine it’s because I did it…I never ratted on a n***a, I never prosecuted a n***a, I never locked up a n***a that is first and foremost. I always felt being the man that I am and the boss that I am I never owed a n***a an explanation. Every man gotta look his kids in the eye and have a reason for feeding them or not. For that sole reason I believed in the death penalty for rats and informants.
Harsh words from a former prison guard! Since Ross doesn’t seem capable of admitting that songs like “The Boss” and “Hustlin’” are at all fictional, his only option is to get arrested for selling cocaine. No one could doubt him then! [AllHipHop]
