Rick Ross Says the Reason He Won't Sign Female Rappers Is Because He'd End Up Having Sex With Them

Today’s been a pretty uncomfortable day, but alas, it just keeps getting worse. Rapper Rick Ross made some controversial statements that you have to hear for yourself to believe. Entertainment Weeklyreports that in a recent interview with Power 105.1 FM's Breakfast Club, Ross explained why he doesn’t sign female rappers to his label, Maybach Music Group. He says it’s because he “would end up f--king” them. Disgusting. 

“You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, ‘I would end up f--king a female rapper and f--king the business up,” Ross said. “I’m so focused on my business. Just gotta be honest with you. You know, she looking good. I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta f--k a couple times.”

He later asked Breakfast Club cohost Angela Yee to show him her legs, reports Refinery29. Ross's representative has not responded to inquiries about his conduct and comments, but Twitter sure has.

You can watch the whole interview here, but keep in mind that this isn’t the first time Ross has sparked controversy. According to ABC News, he's previously plead no contest to charges of assault, gun violence, marijuana possession and kidnapping. 

Moreover, according to the New York Daily News, Reebok ended their relationship with Ross after he released "U.E.O.N.O," a song that encourages date rape. "Put Molly all up in her champagne, she ain't even know it, I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it," he rapped in the song. While Ross did issue a formal apology for the song after thousands of people signed a petition, it doesn’t look like he’s changed much four years later.

Leaders in the industry should help rather than disparage women. Music should unite, not divide. Today, more than ever before, we need all the unity we can get. And it starts with not seeing women purely as sexual objects.
