Rick Ross' Credibility Under Fire
by on July 21st, 2008
It started off as just a rumor, something that would be mentioned from time to time but now what was once considered a joke is suddenly becoming something that more true than anyone would have ever suspected. So after all of the suspicion and rumors, smokinggun.com has released records showing that Rick Ross was in fact at one time a corrections officer.
Ross rose to fame in the industry with his vivid stories which painted the picture of his life as a drug dealer, but according to the rumors, Ross graduated from the Florida Department Of Corrections Training Academy (DOC).
The biggest factor that has turned this from rumor to truth was the social security number of Ross, which matched the one of William Roberts, who worked in the South Florida Reception Center In Dade County Florida.
The southern rapper was a allegedly a prison guard from December 1995 - 1997 when he left the job.To add insult to injury, DJ Khaled, who was once an ally of Ross, is on record throwing verbal shots at the Florida rapper saying " Im the reason Rick Ross is driving Phantoms"
There was a picture leaked which showed Ross in a Corrections officers office but Ross denied the allegations saying that the picture was fake.
"My life is 100% real, these online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this s**t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything? I'm in the entertainment business and a lot of people who like to hate because I'm on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100% real. I live by this die by this. Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake."
Ross has yet to make a statement addressing the information supplied by Smokinggun.com


























and yeah man preeteens will think anything!!
that weezy is a blood,
that baby can rap,
that shawty lo is better than ti,
that ice cube is just a shitty rapper turned actor
and that rick ross is actually a drug dealer turned rapper(ahaha corrections officer)
NONE of which are true..i guess some people have realized lying makes good money!
Trick is a real ass dude from Miami. It was only a matter of time before he flushed out the fake niggas from Slip -N-Slide. Even though Trick ain’t that hot right now, he still commands respect down there. Plus Trick Daddy was the shit back in the day. His catalog shrinks Rick Ross’s, Plies’ and all them other lames that he’s exposing.
STOP LETTING THESE RAPPERS BRAINWASH YOU!!!
Plus if this was a rumor it would be in the rumor section. It’s confirmed fam.
”He’s so good”
“He carries cuffs around his waist”
“He stuffin donuts in his face”
“And him and the cops are willin to chase … you out the Hood”
I’ve been saying that his life is too fabricated from day one. There’s no one that can aquire the shit he speaks on without ever never ever serving any jail time or at least being hunted by law enforcement.
More importantly… his fuckin’ name ain’t even his fuckin’ name! He borrwed that shit from the REAL Ricky Ross…the same way that Freeway, Capone n Nore, 50 cent, Gatti and everyone else borrowed theirs.
I can’t deny the fact that he definitely has a lot of hott ass music… but that’s entertainment…I have no problem being entertained.
BUT……. when muthafuckas make up shit soo much that they actually start to believe the shit they made up… Somebody has to put em back in their places.
Too many muthafuckas wanna be someone else. Be yaself dumbass! EVERYONE GET’S XPOSED!
Consider ya’selves Wizzed!

Thats what I’m trying to get into right now as I type, and I’m still in the street all day….
So how is his “credibility” fucked?
The SMART people in the “game” KNOW that you gotta have legal shit in place such as jobs and such to cover your tracks…
Think about the MOB..The REAL MOB, I’m talking goodfellas type shit…
Them niggas did it all, but they still owned restarraunts and shit just to keep shit quiet if the streets get too hot..
Yall niggas got the game fucked up, or maybe yall just don’t know how to play….
For real though a CO is police. Just policing the people locked-up. They do the same things as the 5’s in the street
so he saying he a dopeboy when he was police will fuck up his credibility too
Thats the problem with the young niggas and dumb niggas in general today..
You people think that as a person you have to be ONE way, and ONE way ONLY!!!
What type of shit is that?
I like to smoke weed, and lots of it…at one point I sold it…But I also like to read books and type on the fuckin computer all day…(to school you youngins..)
but anyway, if I rap about selling weed, and getting drunk all day, but you find a pic of me reading a book, does that mean I’m fake?
Does that mean I never sold what I said?
You niggas are dumb..PERIOD!
One deminsional niggas don’t get nowhere in life, I do it ALL….Thats why i’m the shit…
DUMB FUX.
I understand that…BUT you and I BOTH know that the cops/co’s security guards are just as dirty as the fuckin guy on the corner…
Whats the difference between a CO and Jeezy?
A uniform and Badge….
PERIOD.
Like I said, good point tho…Props…
“BUT you and I BOTH know that the cops/co’s security guards are just as dirty as the fuckin guy on the corner”
I’ll agree with that no doubt
Everyday Im Cuffin em
Everyday Im Cuffin em
Im The Biggest Cop That Uve Seen Thus Far
Im The Biggest Cop That Uve Seen Thus Far
Im The Biggest Cop That Uve Seen Thus Far
Ricky you were a cop? DAAAMMMNNNN……
JUST LIKE GETHIP!..damn, its sad aint it?
and fuckin lol at khaled backstabbing his biggest ally..who can actually rap
but whatever..shit happens.and some shits funny as fuck
I’ma just keep it real with ya’ll… The real Hustlas and gangsters aren’t boastin about it on every track cuz they know the slightest slip up could take away their fortune… In essence, Most of these artists in today’s industry are faking in some way… After all, its showbusiness… To survive you gotta put on a show right?…
What happened to GETHIP313?
I Missed out on something.

Without cops it would be crazy outside, you prolly could not even go out (at least not in Philly) so they are necessary.
But racist cops can suck a dick.

idk im not buying into this shit jus yet.
trick got this nigga if it is tru tho..
I mean, he’s already lied like shit, might as well have made up a better fairy tale than copping the Photoshop Defense. That is sooooo last year.
And since when was it COOL to glorify drug dealing and denounce having a real 9-5?
I knew this nigga was a lame since that Trina video Told Ya’ll when he had that small ass jersey on.
2 fingers
NO MORE RAP GAME FOR YOU FALSE CLAIMING STREET NIGGA!!!!!!
WORDS OF ROSS" HE SAID THAT" YOU DAMN RIGHT HE EXPOSSED YOUR SNITCH ASS, HA!
name one real street legend that’s gon vouch for jay jenkins ( everybody knows him as jeezy ) ..the lion Big Meech !! EAT A DICK william
my b if someone already said this, i didnt wanna read every post.
but fuckin hilarious that the nigga got exposed
but fuckin hilarious that the nigga got exposed
I feel the same way!
He could’ve just kept it real, and ultimately he would’ve kept his career!
Now that he’s finally learned to rap (he used to be HORRIBLE)…. he fucked himself over!
All he had to do was say “YES! I was a CO…YES!… I had a life before this rap shit like everybody else did”…
and that would’ve been that!
But naw….. this nigga had to go and lie and then he actually CHALLENEGED MUTHAFUCKAS by saying:
“My life is 100% real, these online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples’ body. If this s**t was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything? I’m in the entertainment business and a lot of people who like to hate because I’m on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100% real. I live by this die by this. Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake.”
DUMBASS!
How’s ya life 100% real when ya fuckin’ name is FAKE!??
~Be Eazy!
I could care less that he was a CO. Shit I have nothing against honest people in Law Enforcemtnt…
But why Lie? He must’ve really thought that no one would pull his card or do a very small amount of research on him and his past.
I just dont get it. In one week he went from doing his thing…to doing Nothing. I asked my girl yesterday if she thought this would fuck up his career…she didnt have an answer for me because of all of Lil Wayne’s situations… and his fans still supporting him.
But from lookin’ at all of the comments and watching Khaled make his statement… I really think that Mr William is done!
Hopefully he saved some money, owns his masters/publishing, didn’t blow all of his advance, invested… and paid off his cars and houses.
Cause if not……………..He’s FUCKED!
MORAL OF THE MONTH:
EVERYONE GET’S XPOSED!
~Be Eazy!
i sat back and waited for these dumb statements!
Corrections Officer, noun, – a person charged with the responsibility of the supervision, safety and security of prisoners in a prison, jail, or similar form of secure custody.
Police, noun, – organization for maintaining law and order such as detectives, or enforcement of the law.
Now maybe you people look at CO as something LIKE a pig…they not…some CO are cool…my cousin is gang affiliated…he just do the shit for the paper and he one of the niggaz WHO ARE IN THERE TO HELP THE CONVICTS and etc…
u know…make it a better surrounding for the jail. Some Co’s are POLICE wanna bes but WHO KNOWS if Ross was that COOL type…the shit is old…
BUT WHAT DOES MAKE ME MAD AT HIM, if this shit is FULLY PROVEN TO BE TRUE…
HE DENIED BEING THIS!
I dont like that though…otherwise…that wont kill his credibility at all.
COs only made 22-25K back then?
no wonder he had to pretend to be street.
that shit was 95-97
WHATS TODAY?? LOL
I know 1 thing…Ross a real goon from the dope game!
Thats what I’m trying to get into right now as I type, and I’m still in the street all day….
So how is his “credibility” fucked?
The SMART people in the “game” KNOW that you gotta have legal shit in place such as jobs and such to cover your tracks…
Think about the MOB..The REAL MOB, I’m talking goodfellas type shit…
Them niggas did it all, but they still owned restarraunts and shit just to keep shit quiet if the streets get too hot..
Yall niggas got the game fucked up, or maybe yall just don’t know how to play….
and there IS something wrong with that.
that has nothing to do with being a CO!
lol!
AT ALL!
ReDef.
1. Wayne is not a blood and hes garbage.
2. TI=King of the South {nuttin more, nuttin less}
3. Rick Ross is a PUNK ASS!!!!
4. Ice Cube is nasty and so is NWA and WC
5. Shawty Lo is TRASH!
Fat pig!
Mostly 95% of all rappers DO NOT do what they claim nor will they ever. It is all a gimick just to feed into their “gangsta” persona in order for them to give off the appearance that is selling in the game today.
If y’all think that this Rick Ross is real in what he says maybe you should do a little research on his name and see who is basing his entire career off of. It’s not his past he is rapping about, it’s someone elses. And that guy who did the real dirt, is paying for it now doin his time.

hahahaha!
all i gotta say is 2 things
1. you lied about it being you callin it entertainment for fake niggas..but cant keep it real yourself like “yup thats me, i was CO… and what” so what else are you lying about?
2. He calls himself “Rick Ross” your name is William Roberts…..even better then that he calls himself " The Real Ricky Ross" No your not…he was a dude who was makin a million a day in the us
your not rick ross…just like 50 cent isnt the real 50 cent…0r Biggie Smalls isnt the real Biggie smalls
Hold up brah.. you talkin about the MOB, right? This nigga ain’t in no damn Mob.. and he damn sure ain’t flippin burgers at some resturant. This nigga was a cop, a fed, an officer of the law, lying to the people sayin that he sold all this coke and shit.. c’mon my man.. shit, even his drug stories is kinda iffy at best.. so how can you honestly believe this shit? I mean these rappers sound like super-heroes or some shit on they records.. sold all this coke, leaped tall crackheads in single bounds, and blah blah.. the shit ain’t real.. coz they don’t have SHIT else to talk about other than that, they pigeonholed themselves into an image they can’t uphold.. and this is what happens.
WE THA BEST WHO WE! bitch
But even if he did work at a prison as a C.O. dat dont mean dat he aint no hood nigga
How do u think all the drugs get into the prison?
The C.O.’s
I dont know if this story is true or not but either way I dont really give a fuck
David Mack was a LAPD cop! He was also a str8 up Dahmu Blood workin for Suge and Deathrow
Just because a nigga is dressed a certain way dont mean U know what he’s about!
Just cause niggas get certain jobs dont mean they cut all ties with where they came from!
Sometimes it just gives niggas in the hood an extra advantage!
if you want drugs or tobacco while your locked your either payin out the ass or stickin a kinder surprise wrapped with electrical tape up your ass, 3/4 of an oz can be packed into a kinder surprise
If I was runnin the house up north would I rather have a few niggas sneak 21 grams(3/4’s of an ounce)in up there ass one at a time?…….. Or would I rather have the C.O. bring me a duffle bag full of whatever the fuck I want?
Okay Cheezus how about you get 4 or 5 niggas to sneak shit in and have it only add up to maybe 112 grams and take alot of sneakin around….not to mention da fuckin mess!
And I’ll have Corrections Officer Roberts bring me a Lb. of Green and an Onion of white all at one time!
Who gon make more money on the yard Cheesuz?
yeah anyday a gaurd can just walk in with a duffle bag full of drugs
do you live in a gated community homie?
shit nothin wrong w/ a 9-5 but DON’T LIE
word his next album gon be called
“LAW & ORDER”
When he was first approached on the prison gaurd topic he should have said something like, “Yeah I was a CO, but then I met some goons that put me on to the game and thats how I came up.”
Well I hope he saved his royalty checks…
AYO JOKESTA CAN YA’LL PUT TOGETHER THIS BEST RAPPER ALIVE TOURNAMENT,BECAUSE THAT VIBE SHIT IS HORRIBLE.
and to anyone who thinks this is SUCH a revelation and who truly believe that their favorite rapper is as “hood” as they say they are, I truly feel sorry for you. most of today’s rappers are either rapping about the lives of “real” niggas that are either dead or in jail (50, Plies), or just making it up all together (early Nas). Wake the fuck up people – they’re selling you a dream.

allllllllll fake.. so let florida shine without the hatin
what’s even more disgusting is he went on record and denied that shit, “my life is 100” – these nuts in your face is 100 niga – i have no problem with you havin a job b4 your rap career, don’t lie especially in your music, especially in the music i pay for and say you be doin shit that u don’t
I heard this mu’fucker say he don’t even know who the real rick ross is – what type of ignorant illiterate shit is that.
the clothes you wear, the things you do , THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO are a reflection of you of your character, so what does it make me if i listen to a fake nigga – it makes me either fake or a damn sucker and i ain’t tryin to be none of the 2
use your ur fuckin heads when your listening to these niggas- it’s real out here don’t get caught up
p.s look out for my album
is steven king fake cause he isnt a ghost catcher no… so rick ross isnt fake
You Got-Damn right I would!
Some Co’s are actually beloved in prison
Mainly the crooked ass ones!
The fact that he LIED was the big killer…
What’s done in the dark….you know the rest…lol
I mean, on PORT he told us that he had a scholarship to play football, and got kicked out….
why didn’t he just say after he got kicked out of college he tried to get that corrections paper, and it didn’t work out…
I mean if he would have told the truth it would have been all good…IT WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO!!!!!
BUT he lied, so FUCK HIM!!
But even if he did work at a prison as a C.O. dat dont mean dat he aint no hood nigga
How do u think all the drugs get into the prison?
The C.O.’s
I dont know if this story is true or not but either way I dont really give a fuck
David Mack was a LAPD cop! He was also a str8 up Dahmu Blood workin for Suge and Deathrow
Just because a nigga is dressed a certain way dont mean U know what he’s about!
Just cause niggas get certain jobs dont mean they cut all ties with where they came from!

Exactly. You guys need to smarten up.
“this is what it is – is no beat in the world that nice, there’s no flow in the world that nice – when i listen to music i listen to what a muh’ fucker has to say. ihave never listen any of rosses album but from the tracks that i have heard, he always has this “SUPER DRUG DEALER” I heard this mu’fucker say he don’t even know who the real rick ross is – what type of ignorant illiterate shit is that.
the clothes you wear, the things you do , THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO are a reflection of you of your character, so what does it make me if i listen to a fake nigga – it makes me either fake or a damn sucker and i ain’t tryin to be none of the 2
use your ur fuckin heads when your listening to these niggas- it’s real out here don’t get caught up
persona like he be movin a thousand ki’s a night
I SEE SOME NIGGAS ON THIS SITE HAS A BRAIN, IMA CHECK YO ALBUM OUT, WHATS IT CALLED AND WHATS YOUR RAP NAME?
If your upset by this shit (true or not) you probably don’t understand the entertainment industry. Just ask yourself this – would I lie to audiences worldwide for millions, and the only thing that will happen is cowardly blogging and shit talking? shit I would, in fact i’m thinking of some bullshit to put out right now. then when I make it niggas can sit there and type shit about me while I’m poppin bottles….shout out to Ross (Trilla)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^fucking sad^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^KILL YOURSELF, HURRY UP^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and even if prison guards smuggle drugs into prisons, that hardly makes em bosses!
if ya still bump this dude’s tunes after this is said n done, youse a groupie!
IF U WANNA PLAY A CHARACTER TAKE UR FAKE ASS TO HOLLYWOOD OR THE WWF! THIS IS HIP-HOP!!!
let’s quit bullshittin n flush all these fags out n get back to makin some honest-to-God music!
do ne of u actually KNOW rick ross or jeezy??? the more u defend them, the more it makes u look like dick riders! if ur gonna defend these guys defend the music cuz that’s all u know! the fat guy’s LIFE is bein challenged, not his music so u can’t carry on with this real/fake argument.
and plies? WOW! I dunno who got it worse: ross bein a guard then playin like he’s scarface or plies thinkin he’s real jus cuz he can rap about OTHER ppl’s lives bein fucked up. and now u can see that sucka’s criminal background check online! (I think it’s on keepittrill.com).
sure, it’s entertainment but if some1 sold u a fake pair of J’s n u rocked em faithfully like u reeeally thought they were da real thing then come to find out they weren’t, u’d feel disrespected…wouldn’t u?
I’ll say it again: do…u…know…this…guy??
jus cuz a nigga SAYS somethin don’t account for a damn thing! a nigga SAYS he’s gonna go out n get a job 2morrow, 2 months later he’s STILL sittin at home playin scareface!
why do y’all defend these posers?? I guess this new generation loves bein lied to!
ya wanna be like ya favorite rapper soo much that when u find out he’s a fraud ur ready to go crazy cuz u aint got shit to be but yaself now!
my favorite MC’s say shit all da time. I know it’s jus music but takin me for a fool is a whole other thing
