Student associations at Carleton and the University of Ottawa have collaborated on an end-of-year concert dubbed Pandamonium since 2007. This year they decided not to promote "rape culture" and pulled their support due to Ross' scheduled appearance.
"He wasn’t an artist the SFUO could support," said Ethan Plato, the federation’s president.
“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 at the center of the controversy..
The rapper was rumored to have been paid between $100,000 and $250,000 for the show.

To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south And I just walked him right in the room Just a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of worms Lookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view
I'm just a white man comin' to you from the southland Tryin' to understand what it's like not to be I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done And it ain't like you and me can re-write history Our generation didn't start this nation We're still pickin' up the pieces, walkin' on eggshells, fightin' over yesterday And caught between southern pride and southern blame
They called it Reconstruction, fixed the buildings, dried some tears We're still siftin' through the rubble after a hundred-fifty years I try to put myself in your shoes and that's a good place to begin But it ain't like I can walk a mile in someone else's skin
'Cause I'm a white man livin' in the southland Just like you I'm more than what you see I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done And it ain't like you and me can re-write history Our generation didn't start this nation And we're still paying for the mistakes That a bunch of folks made long before we came And caught between southern pride and southern blame
(LL Cool J)
Dear Mr. White Man, I wish you understoodWhat the world is really like when you're livin' in the hoodJust because my pants are saggin' doesn't mean I'm up to no goodYou should try to get to know me, I really wish you wouldNow my chains are gold but I'm still misunderstoodI wasn't there when Sherman's March turned the south into firewoodI want you to get paid but be a slave I never couldFeel like a new fangled Django, dodgin' invisible white hoodsSo when I see that white cowboy hat, I'm thinkin' it's not all goodI guess we're both guilty of judgin' the cover not the bookI'd love to buy you a beer, conversate and clear the air But I see that red flag and I think you wish I wasn't here
I'm just a white man(If you don't judge my do-rag)Comin' to you from the southland(I won't judge your red flag)Tryin' to understand what it's like not to beI'm proud of where I'm from(If you don't judge my gold chains)But not everything we've done(I'll forget the iron chains)It ain't like you and me can re-write history(Can't re-write history baby)
Oh, Dixieland(The relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin')I hope you understand what this is all about(Quite frankly I'm a black Yankee but I've been thinkin' about this lately)I'm a son of the new south(The past is the past, you feel me)And I just want to make things right(Let bygones be bygones)Where all that's left is southern pride(RIP Robert E. Lee but I've gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean)It's real, it's realIt's truth

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?
