Rick Ross controversy


In a line in the song, Rick Ross raps, "Put molly all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it." A petition containing 72,000 signatures was presented to Reebok, demanding they drop Ross as a spokesman for the lyrics which appeared to condone date rape. Ross apologized for the lyrics, claiming they were not about rape.[8] He was dropped by Reebok on April 11, 2013.[9] A Ross concert organized by the student association of Carleton University was cancelled.[10] Rocko later dropped the Rick Ross verse in order to have radio play.[11] In the Black Hippy remix, Schoolboy Q raps: "Molly in her drink, but she asked me to and oh yeah I got this on cam".
