Rick Ross finally apologizes for his Rape Lyrics

After being dropped by US shoe company Reebok over his rape lyrics, Rick Ross has come out to finally apologize.

He issued a statement last week Friday saying he made a mistake.

‘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.’

Rick Ross’ past attempts to apologize for his lyrics on Rocko’s ‘U.O.E.N.O’ were blunders, leading women’s right groups to mount pressure on Reebok to drop the rapper. http://thenetng.com/2013/04/rick-ross-finally-apologizes/
