Rick Ross has yet to sign a women to his record label Maybach Music Group, and the rapper broke down his reasoning during an interview with the hosts of “The Breakfast Club” syndicated radio show earlier this week.
“You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up f—ing a female rapper and f—ing the business up,” Ross told the hosts of the Power 105 show on Monday.
“I’m so focused on my business. I just, I gotta be honest with you,” he continued. “You know, she looking good. I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta f— her a couple times.”
According to Billboard, these comments come years after Ross was criticized for his lyrics on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.,” which seemed to condone date rape.
He 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.”
In 2013, Ross spoke to Rolling Stone about the issue, telling the publication, “I feel like us being artists, that’s our job to clarify the sensitive things and the things that we know really need to be clarified, such as a situation like this. We don’t condone raping — I’m not with that.”
The now-deleted lyrics cost him an endorsement deal with Reebok, Vulture reported.
