Women’s Rights Group protest Reebok Over Rick Ross Date Rape Lyrics + Rick Ross Apologizes for Lyrics!! -- Reebok is being pressured to drop rapper Rick Ross as its spokesperson in light of his new single, which appears to glorify date rape. Released earlier this month, “U.O.E.N.O.,” contains the lyric “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that.
She ain’t even know it.” (For the uninitiated, Molly is slang for ecstasy, or its active ingredient, MDMA).
UltraViolet, a new women’s rights group, has collected more than 70,000 signatures on a petition demanding that Reebok drop the rapper, which they plan to deliver to the Reebok’s flagship store in Manhattan today. Reebok has yet to comment or react in any way.
Rick Ross apologized Thursday (April 4) for a lyric in his song "U.O.E.N.O." that many said appeared to be pro-rape. Ross tweeted twice, stating he does not support violence against women and specifically apologizing to UltraViolet, the women's group that planned to protest in front of Ross' sponsor Reebok in New York City.
