Complex - The 50 Worst Hip-Hop Fails - Rick Ross #1

[King Lance]

1. Rick Ross Becomes Officer Ricky

Fail Occurred: 7/21/2008

With outsized claims of "I know Noriega, the real Noriega," one could safely assume that Rick Ross' boasts about being a criminal kingpin were as exaggerated as his waistline. But the truth was more hilariously ironic than anyone expected. When photos of a younger Ricky-complete with badge, uniform, and smile-mysteriously leaked to the Internet, it offered a glimpse into the past, the one that Ross had actually lived for three years while working as an officer for the Department of Corrections in the early '90s. He tried to deny it for almost an entire year, not owning up to his past until a 2009 XXL cover story, but Officer Ricky should know how evidence works

Poor Ross, he keeps taking L


Eminem @ 22

REALLY? Complex on Kanye's dick.. Did they forget about Taylor Swift? That was a huge fail and he got so much flack because of that.

[Chet Starr]

It's Guard Ricky, he was a prison/jail guard.

Eminem's Racist Demo Leaked: The shocking revelation remains the only stain on the reputation of the musical genius.

He's still a corrections officer lol.

True, but he wasn't a cop. He wasn't patrolling the streets busting folks

Ross isn't very good, but I hate when people hate him for the wrong reasons.

Since when is the term 'Officer' exclusive to cops? He's earned the title of "Officer Ricky" lol, and it's still understandable why anyone who takes artistry seriously would hate him.

Rick Ross made two of the top ten spots, so much fail.

[Chet Starr]

BIG lied tons, and he doesn't get any of the hate, so did Pac. Pun would beat his wife, but he is still beloved.

So it's okay to lie & beat your wife, but don't lie about being a corrections official?

Good grief Charlie Brown, I'll never understand hip hop

[CrashBand]

Rick Ross is literally a fraud though. Slightly different than just lying about something.

I don't condone beating your wife, don't know why you brought that up--a lot of hip-hop fans won't have a problem with that because hip-hop is a male-dominant, misogynistic, homophobic culture.

Good point, probably the reason I just avoid hip hop culture like the plague. I swear all the music in the world is decent, it's the fans that ruin things.

I'll shut up about Ross now.
