Recently, pictures allegedly depicting Miami rapper Rick Ross (born William Roberts) in a correctional officer uniform surfaced on the gossip website, Mediatakeout.com. Apparently, the Boss isn’t taking the rumors too lightly and issued a statement about the photos:
My life is 100 percent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other people’s body. If this shit was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything else? I’m in the entertainment business and a lot of people like to hate because I’m on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100 percent real.
In related news, Ross is currently working on his third LP, Deeper Than Rap, which is looking for a release date some time in 2008. The album is said to feature production from the Neptunes, Just Blaze, T.I., and longtime collaborators with the Runners and J.R. Rotem.
