Do you actually think you can come out and diss Trick Daddy? He has been in game since I live in Texas in 98. We grew up on Trick Lyrics and partied all nite with friends bumping his music.
JULY 21–Apparently desperate to distance himself from any affiliation with law enforcement, the rapper Rick Ross has recently denounced as fake photos purporting to show him in a former career as a Florida prison guard. But Department of Corrections (DoC) records show that Ross, whose raps detail the Miami gangster lifestyle and his supposed days trafficking cocaine, did, in fact, work as a correctional officer for 18 months. Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper’s social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997. After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners). When a photo of a uniform-clad Ross surfaced last week of the 32-year-old performer claimed that unnamed “online hackers” put “my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples’ body. If this shit was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?” He added, “Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake.” The photo shows a 19-year-old Ross at a DoC ceremony (he was part of the department’s 60th graduating class). He is pictured shaking hands with Marta Villacorta, who then headed the South Florida Reception Center. Villacorta, now the department’s South Florida regional director, was identified by Rackleff, who examined the photo Ross claims was Photoshopped. In a recent video taped interview, Ross replied, “No, that’s not true” when asked if he had worked as a prison guard. He claimed that the phony story was being circulated by detractors upset by his success in the rap world, where, “I came out of nowhere and just took over the streets.”

its sad that kids today listen to certain rap artist promoting being a thug or a drug dealer. these kids want to be like the rapper promoting that crap. Then the kids end up with a record trying to be like a phony rap artist. if rickross never grew up in the streets, he need to rap about what he know, which is being a correctional officer. which theres nothing wrong with not having a criminal record. Who made the rules, saying in order to be a rapper you needed to be from the streets or be a drug dealer in order to succeed in the game.
it don’t even matter if rick ross was a CO before any artist makes it big im sure they grinding for a pay check.. if dude had a job then so what.. music is music.. i bet Jay-Z worked at McDonald’s or somethin.. plus ross is intelligent.. dude went to college on a football scholarship.. yea this pic is true but get off his dick cuz you ain’t poppin right now..
