Rick Ross apologizes for rape lyrics: Too little, too late?

Rick Ross Sexy and Shirtless

Rick Ross has finally given a worthwhile apology regarding lyrics from the song, “U.O.E.N.O.”


On the, now, infamous song, Rick Ross rapped “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.”


Rick Ross gave two half-hearted apologies and said the lyrics were interpreted as rape.

After facing backlash from several groups, Reebok decided to drop Rick Ross as a spokesperson.


One day later, Rick Ross has finally responded with a legit apology.

Read below:

“Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it’s wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it.”

Do you think the apology was too little, too late?
