Rick Ross Date Rape Lyrics [UPDATE]: Rapper Tweets Another Apology for 'U.O.E.N.O.' Date Rape Lyrics, Says 'Apologies for the lyric INTERPRETED As Rape'
Rick Ross raps about date rape and he "Don't Even Know It!" The "U.O.E.N.O." rapper, caught flack for his derogatory lyrics in which he described slipping a date rape drug in a women's champagne, and since the song was released he has denied "condoning rape." After issuing a lack luster apology last week, Rick Ross used his Twitter account to issue yet another apology, in which he said fans "interpreted" lyrics as rape.
Rick Ross issued a second "so-called" apology via Twitter today:
While the lyrics, "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," directly invoke thoughts of date rape, Ross stands by his former statement. Last week, Rozay told a New Orleans Q93 radio station that the words were "misinterpreted."
Rick Ross told the radio station:
"Woman is the most precious gift known to man. I would never use the term 'rape' in my records and as far as my camp. Hip-hop don't condone that, the streets don't condone that, nobody condones that. So I just wanted to reach out to all my queens that's on my timeline, all the sexy ladies, the beautiful ladies that have been reaching out to me with the misunderstanding: We don't condone rape, and I'm not with that."
Why did Rick Ross issue a second apology? Maybe the petition for Reebok to discontinue their endorsement has him under pressure? Ross, followed up his apology with this tweet:
Although Rick Ross is the Boss of his MMG record label, he has yet to produce a certified platinum album. Will this date rape controversy help his future sales?
