Rick Ross has someone in his corner when it comes to his controversial lyrics on the song "U.O.E.N.O."
“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," Ross raps in the song.
YMCMB rapper Tyga spoke to Justin Credible of Los Angeles radio station Power 106 about the song. In his opinion rappers speak out about real life events they might not necessarily participate in themselves. He defended Ross' right to say those lyrics.
"We've all got friends who have been to jail, that sold drugs or whatever. Sometimes you gotta be the voice for them people," Tyga said. "That's what rap is. Even with [2Pac]. 'Pac would talk about having kids [and] his baby mama getting on his nerves, but that stuff he was talking about he was the voice. For [protesters] to talk to Ross...I seen they petitioned in front of a Reebok store. What he said, that's like freedom of speech. It wasn't even his record. For them to do all that off of a mixtape song that wasn't even his is kinda like...You just got those groups that wanna sign a petition. They don't even know what they're petitioning for."
UltraViolet is the group that protested in from of Reebok's store last Thursday. According to TMZ their 400,000 members have been joined by 150 rape survivors calling for Reebok to drop Ross.
"Every single day that Reebok continues rewarding Rick Ross with a lucrative endorsement deal, Reebok is condoning rape," the group says.
Do you agree with Tyga on Ross' lyrics? Or has the MMG boss crossed the line?
