Rick Ross Reebok Drop [UPDATE]: Rapper RELEASES OFFICIAL STATEMENT SINCE REEBOK DROP, MEEK MILLZ Says 'ON TO FILA'

Mstarz News reported yesterday that Reebok dropped Rick Ross Thursday, over the controversy involving his date rape lyrics, now the Maybach Music exec has released an official statement and a sincere social media message to Reebok.

Rick Ross released the following statement signing off with his real name, exclusively via Complex:

"Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it's wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it."

-William Roberts (a.k.a "Rick Ross")

While this reads very sincere, personable, and believeable, fans are wonder what took Ricky Rozay so long? Rick Ross appeared even more remorseful to Reebok for misreprsenting the brand when he tweeted:

I want to thank Reebok Classics for their hard work and dedication over this past year.Good partners,good shoe.continued success.

However, MMG label mate Meek Millz, could careless about Reebok, now that they dropped Ross, "The Boss". Meek tweeted:

Reeboks right next 2 FILA when it come 2 sneaks that shit corny... I was only was feeling swizz & tyga projects... #boom — Meek Mill (@MeekMill) April 12, 2013

There is no word if FILA has indeed signed on with Rick Ross or Meek Millz, but Ross and his label mates may choose their words carefully next time.
