Retail giant Walmart has reportedly yanked Rick Ross’ latest album, Black Market, from its shelves and website thanks to a controversial lyric that is believed to call for the assassination of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
A vlogger by the name of Mark Dice says he petitioned Walmart in addition to Amazon, iTunes, and Target to remove the album from their respective stores because of the following lyrics on the album’s first song “Free Enterprise”:
Assassinate Trump like I’m Zimmerman
Now accept these words as they came from Eminem
Democratic party sentenced to the pendulum
Killing them, I voted for Andre Benjamin.
Though some have questions whether it was actually his efforts that convinced the popular store pull Ross’ album, Dice has posted a boastful video claiming sole responsibility and saying in part that if the store could act so quickly in removing all things with the controversial confederate flag then it should not carry Ross’ album with such content.
Walmart has yet to make an official statement on the matter.
