Well, maybe. So the internet is now going somewhat nuts over a video of Rick Ross being asked about whether he used to be a Corrections Officer. You know, the Rick Ross who's music includes A LOT of gun and drug talk. Of course, Miami-Dade has heard rumblings of this since oh about 2006! The interviewer stated that "Trick Daddy had said that you used to be a prison guard." If that ain't some "he say she say" then who knows what is! Check it out for yourself...
First of all, it is a sad day when someone is denying that they had a legal occupation (or went to college, hmm) before becoming a rapper, as if that is something bad, just to maintain an image. Secondly, it is disheartening to see the Miami "movement" somewhat unravelling in the media over hearsay; it has not even been confirmed that Trick Daddy made this statement, so why not reply to the interviewer that this needs to be resolved man to man with the homie T-Double instead name-calling over what somebody say he said! Thirdly, please Rick Ross don't tell me this is the first time you have heard this "rumor" (or fact). The allegation that Rick Ross was a Corrections Officer has been around Miami (and Florida for that matter) since before Port of Miami, he cannot be that shocked. Looks like what I stated in a previous post rings true; the Miami Hip-Hop "movement" has some serious issues. What happened to handling things like an adult? Like how about find out if the man even made the allegation before declaring somebody "green."

I dont understand why rappers and label heads feel like the consumers want a gimic and a fabricated story of the background of an artist in order to sell records... we want what's real... and he makes good music... trust his street cred may go down a bit... but he still makes hits
Your guess is as good as mine as to why people feel they must perpetuate lies to sell. Especially in this tech age where you can find out almost anything on ANYBODY with a few clicks and some phone calls!
