It seems as though all of the protest and controversy surrounding Rick Ross lyrics in Rocko’s ‘U.O.E.N.O.’, has paid off. Maybe not so much for Rozay, but for everyone that was offended by it. When Ross first came under fire, he side-stepped the heat and said that the lyrics was just a misunderstanding. Since then, Rozay gave an official apology for the choice of words.

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 apology comes a day after Reebok decided to go their separate ways. On Twitter, Ross had a few choice words for Reebok.

Rick Ross released a statement via his Twitter to Reebok:

I want to thank Reebok Classics for their hard word and dedication over this past year. Good partners, good shoe. continued success.

It’s good to see Rozay handle the decision like a Boss! I’m definitely glad he didn’t go off on a rant!
