RICK ROSS COMES CLEAN

After months of denials and flat-out refusing to address the subject, Rick Ross has admitted to being employed as a correctional officer. In the May issue of XXL magazine, the Miami rap star finally owns up.



"Me not answering or addressing that situation has nothing to do with my career," he's quoted as saying. "I've accomplished enough, and I've made enough money for me to be good. ... Yes, it was me in those pictures. But I'mma tell you this. Me taking that job, I was doing my job. You understand what I mean?"

After a picture of Ross wearing a guard uniform leaked onto the Internet, The Smoking Gun Web site was the first to crack the case concerning Ross' controversial background. They released purported official papers detailing his job and old pay stubs.


Ross told XXL that his credibility cannot be fazed and the drug-dealing stories in his songs are authentic.


"The stuff I talk about is real. The dope is real," he insisted. "The gun talk is official. Look up [notorious Miami gang member] Kenneth 'Boobie' Williams. Look where he's from. That's not nothing to be proud of. I wish that on no man. But, just to let you know, that's what I witnessed. It's a reality. I cannot discuss certain people that's still in the streets, and I will not. I took a street oath, and I'mma live by that, and I'mma die by that. And it's not about a music career, 'cause that sh--, I'm good. It's about me and being in the streets."

GV Says: Who cares....this is the silliest thing ever. Yet another reason why we as people can't progress. A man with a respectable is shunned by his community....SMH. D*mn shame.

Ye. The real issue people tend to forget is that he was just denying having a real job and want to use the "hood life" + lyrics formula.
