Rick Ross has been under fire from Radio stations (who began pulling his music from rotation) and women’s rights and rape survivor groups who began protesting outside of Reebok’s flagship store in New York in an attempt to get him dropped from the brand.
When Ross issued his apology on Twitter, people really got upset!
“I dont condone rape. Apologies for the #lyric interpreted as rape. #BOSS. Apologies to my many business partners,who would never promote violence against women. @ReebokClassics @ultraviolet.”
It was then that Reebok released the following statement:
Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse. At this time, it is in everyone’s best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr. Ross.”
