Kiyo: A petition has been
launched demanding that major sports brand Reebok
discontinue using Rick Ross in their advertising, following his use of a lyric
referencing date-rape.
Over
50 thousand people have called for him to be banned, though the rapper has
spoken out to defend himself, saying rape is not something he ‘condones'.
The
lyric in question features on Rocko’s
song U.O.E.N.O and appears to have Ross rapping about drugging a woman with
molly, which is slang for crystallised MDMA (Ecstasy Drug), and then having sex
with her.
The
questionable lyric is as follows: ‘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.’
Filo: I don’t get it, when
you put molly in someone’s champagne, what would ensue.
Or maybe
I should go with Kanye West who said ‘we rappers are role models we rap we
don't think’
Kiyo: Speaking on 93.3 in
New Orleans at the end of last week the 37-year-old who is also known as Rozay,
said: ‘Woman is the most precious gift known to man. And there was a
misunderstanding with a lyric, a misinterpretation.
I
would never use the term rape in my records, in my lyrics. And as far as my
camp, hip-hop don't condone that, the streets don't condone that, nobody
condones that.’
Filo: From this moment, we
the women folk are consciously watching Rozay, if we hear am.
