Fact: Rick Ross Was A Prison Guard

[Caesar]

Here is the story so far; Trick Daddy accused fellow Miami rapper Rick Ross of being a former correctional officer aka prison guard. Rick Ross denied the allegation on a video that you can watch here and said the image was Photoshoped. Someone then uploaded another video showing the negative of the photo proving the image was real.

Now infamous celebrity exposer TheSmokingGun.com has stepped in and recovered the rapper's pay slips, proving that Rick Ross, born William Leonard Roberts, was indeed a prison guard from late 1995 to 1997.

Here is what they uncovered about the matter:

Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper’s social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997. After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners).

Wow, that's gotta hurt his rep and album sales. I wonder how he's going to respond to this one, make sure to stay tuned to StreetHop.com for more as it happens. I can't wait to see how other rappers respond to this, and something tells me 50 Cent will involve himself somehow.

For now, here is a scanned image of his payslip so you can see it for yourself, and don't forget to check out the above mentioned video clips.

agreed, it's ridiculous. and more importantly who cares.

I think the problem is; he lied about it.

 

[S O F I]

^Yep.

I've had friends lie to me for less so I don't expect millionaire rappers to tell the truth either.

 

[SiGh]

I think the problem is; he lied about it.

He lied when he was confronted or lied about his entire life and stuff? He graduated from college and all that good stuff right? Does he deny that he got a college education and etc too?

Details plx?

 

[S. Fourteen]

So, it would have been cool if he told the truth?

I would have forgotten about this guy soon. Now, I'll forget about him sooner.

 

[904_Chick]

A liar is a liar is a liar.

 

[bluhef]

At least he wasnt a cop

bud, you gota understand that this guy was claiming to be a drug lord...

now, if that was a lie (like i assume most rappers do when they say that shit) that woulda been cool...but to have been the opposite of what you claimed, and lied about it...thats seriously pathetic

 

[THEV1LL4N]

how come the picture of this thread keeps changing?

i dont like rick ross.

 

[babyface18]

wow lol no wonder he keeps is beard he wants the world no thats not him

 

[michael couture]

he still sold you a record though!!!

clearly he was selling an image by using the alias "Rick Ross" in the first place. if he really was the biggest boss he would've used is own name, and not one of the most infamous drug lords in america "Ricky Ross". it just makes you stupid if you play his music, clearly he is talentless. and f**k calling that a real job, if it was hard work he would'nt be such a fat ass. he sold his own people out by adding to the growing prison systems, and making money off it. now he's pimping wannabes everwhere.

 

[Shadows]

he was the one that gave his demo to Mr. Hustle and Flow

 

[randomthug]

When I saw this thread I was like OOOOOOH DAAAAAAMN! But sincerely it is good that he had a real job I just think that for his image it is terrible that he was the equivalent of a police officer. A correctional officer, police officer, same thing, different place. Each does the same job only one does it inside a jail the other outside. Don't think I'll be listening to him screamin fuck da police...

 

[steelcity79]

yup

I think the problem is; he lied about it.

not taking anything away from rossy for makin money, think though, all bs aside, TDD put him out on front street so that right there shoulda been enough for him to act 21 ...musta been scerd....
