Rick Ross Tries, and Fails, to Justify Scrutinized Date Rape Lyric
FUSE TV - Rick Ross Tries, and Fails, to Justify Scrutinized Date Rape Lyric
As a life rule, you never want anyone to have to Google "your name + date rape," but here we are.
Rick Ross has come under widespread criticism for lyrics on "U.O.E.N.O.," a new track by rapper Rocko, that appear to condone date rape. On the Future-assisted track, Rozay rhymes, "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."
The backlash was swift and resolute. A Change.org petition asking the rapper to "publicly apologize for glorifying 'date rape'." Shouts for Reebok to dump Ross as their spokesperson. Even Rap Genius, not exactly known for their anti-rapper stance, notes in their lyric explanation, "And rape by any other name…well, um, is rape."
Ross called into New Orleans radio station Q93.3 to offer a half-assed non-apology and "clear up" why not actually saying the word "rape" means it's fine to rhyme about drugging a girl and having sex with her while she's passed out.
Starting at 4:20, Ross is asked by a breathless DJ, just happy to be near the rapper, about the lyrics in question.
