Rick Ross est sans doute le rappeur US qui a le moins de street crédibilité. En effet, il y a peu de temps le rappeur a été accusé d’avoir été un flic dans sa jeunesse. La meilleure façon de gâcher sa réputation parmi les membres du milieu hip-hop.
Après avoir nié ces accusations pendant plusieurs mois, il a enfin avoué avoir travaillé pour les forces de l’ordre.
« Yes. It’s me. I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my cds. My company has my SS#. I could’ve put a company name… I done been up and I done been down and that’s what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a n*gga. I never prosecuted a n*gga. I never locked up a n*gga, that’s first and foremost. I always felt that me being the n*gga that I am, I never owed a n*gga an explanation… When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off cocaine, it’s because I did it. Those are the street principals that apply. »
Et il y a peu on l’a vu faire la couverture du magazine XXL portant une paire de lunettes Louis Vuitton…contrefaites. Bref une paire ne valant pas plus que quelques dollars. Un coup dur pour ce rappeur bling-bling habituellement fier d’exhiber ses liasses de dollar!
La société Louis Vuitton a tenu à mettre les choses au clair avec les éditeurs du magazine :
« Dear Editor:
We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.
The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.
Sincerely,
Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.
Louis Vuitton Malletier »
Et dire qu’il ose dire « I’ve never had a credibility problem and still don’t », quel culot!
