Rick Ross Wears Bootleg Shades on XXL Cover

XXL got a letter from Louis Vuitton about their most recent cover stating the following:

Dear Editor:

We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.
The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.

Sincerely,

Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.Louis Vuitton Malletier

Damn…that’s embarrassing. Did they provide the shades or is that something he came in with. Either way there’s no excuse.

Foxy's Goin Brooklyn Style on 50

In the ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Rick Ross, Foxy Brown’s name has come up. 50 talks about Rick and Foxy doin’ the nasty bump. In the track “Try Me” he raps “The cop f**ked a fox.” She has given him a day to take it back. Brown’s representative stated, “Foxy is giving that n***a 24 hour [period] to retract that statement or she’s going handle [him] Brooklyn Style.” Source
Really? Her rep talks like that?! Where do they find these people?

Rick Ross Comes Clean

Livesteez is reporting that rapper Rick Ross is finally admitting that he was in fact a corrections officer before rapping.
“I never tried to hide my past! I put my name inside all my CDs. My company has my SS #. I could’ve put a company name,” Ross tells the magazine. “I done been up and I done been down and that’s what make me who I am. I never ratted on a nigga! I never prosecuted a nigga! I never locked up a nigga that is first and foremost,” he continues. “I always felt that me being the nigga I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation. When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off of cocaine, it’s because I did it. Those are the street principles that apply.” Source
Nigga, Nigga, Nigga, Nigga, Nigga! See, it didn’t make me a thug either…dummy.

Gunfire at Rick Ross Event

Shots broke out at Rick Ross’s annual “Be Out Day”. The celebration is a charity even where he hands out food and school supplies and encourages people to vote. While he was on stage performing someone began shooting. Thankfully no one was hurt. One man was arrested while police are still looking for another. Source
You’d think that Rick’s Po-po instincts would have kicked in and h would have single handedly taken down the perps.

Rick Ross Loses Street Cred

Rumors were swirling last week that rapper Rick Ross used to be a prison guard. He was quick to shoot the rumors down even though there was photographic evidence. Rick said that the pictures were, "photo-shop fakes, created by fake people to entertain fake people". Oh yea? Well The Smoking Gun went and dug up employee records showing that Rick Ross, nee William Leonard Roberts was infact emplyed as a prison guard. I don’t think being a prison guard ruins his rep. I mean its not the most upstanding job, believe me, I know a few. I think it’s the fact that 1. he denied it and 2. called the people who uncovered it fake when in actuality he’s the fake one. Ah well, looks like it's time for “lights out”.

Random Pics

Well, at least her humungo chachis are covered up.
Excuse me whilst I go wretch in the loo.
If I ever saw Aubry O’day in real life it would be a true struggle to not punch her in the side of her neck. Something about her makes me angry.
Hey, when it itches…it itches.
I bet it smells like Gouda and dead kitty cats under Rick Ross’s boobies.

Rick Ross and Foxy to Wed?!

Folks over at Nah Right are saying that Rick Ross is planning to ask Foxy to marry him at the BET Awards (please note this post was written before the show. I’ll make sure to add an appendix with any updates.). Foxy is also supposedly going to move out of Jersey and down to Miami to be with her boo.
Call the police, an ambulance, Jesus and his myriad of angels! We’ve got an emergency! See this is just how I felt when I heard Mimi and Nicky had gotten married. I was like, “No way! I don’t believe it!” and as I thought of the implications I began getting scared, having night sweats, loosing weight (well maybe not). But alas, it WAS true and their nuptials have taken this fine green earth a few steps closer to Armageddon. So Rick, Foxy, I’m asking you on behalf of mankind: DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEAAAAAAASES!!!!
(Lo collapses onto the floor in a dramatic flourish and begins to convulse and speak in tongues.)

Update: There was no proposal...at least not that I saw.

Foxy Gots Her a Man!

Foxy is fresh outta jail and she’s already set her sights on that big peace of love meat, Rick Ross. “They are in fact a couple. Rick Ross swept her off of her feet and this is gonna [be] the next Big Hip-Hop couple. They both are in love.” She’s apparently cool with his mother and his kids as well. Source
What I wouldn’t give to go to bed with him every night I’m quite sure a nibble to his ear lobe would result in a mouth full of gravy. I loves me some gravy! That Foxy is one lucky lady!
