Rick-Ross-BET-AwardsI don’t know if you been keeping up with all the Rick Ross Drama regarding his new song about Rape, which has the World pissed. People are now canceling concerts and trying to get him endorsement dropped from Reebok check out the details below.

Ross is feeling the fallout from his verses on Rocko’s track “U.O.E.N.O.,” where he seemingly condones date rape. According to O.Canada.com, Rick Ross’s Tuesday performance at Canada’s University of Ottawa had to be cancelled amid “security concerns.” Apparently, concert promoter Urban Jamz Entertainment was worried that protests over the rapper’s questionable lyric could get out of hand. Before the concert was canned, the show took a big hit when the university’s Student Federation pulled out of the concert once Ross was scheduled to appear at the annual event. In past years the Student Federation has been integral in helping to organize the yearly concert.

Billboard reports Rick Ross is finding out that saying “sorry” just doesn’t cut it.

Reportedly more than 150 rape survivors are stepping-up their campaign to have Reebok dump its lucrative contract with the controversial rapper over what they describe as his “dangerous” lyrics.

Sources say Ross has found himself at the center of a media feeding frenzy after it emerged that in the lyrics of his song “U.O.E.N.O.” he boasted about drugging and raping a woman.

UltraViolet members are far from impressed by what they see as Ross’ “non apology” and they’ve launched a combined phone, Twitter, and online ad push to accompany its letter to Reebok.

“Every single day that Reebok continues rewarding Rick Ross with a lucrative endorsement deal, Reebok is condoning rape. When one in five women will be the victim of completed or attempted rape, this is dangerous and it has real-life consequences,” writes the letter, which is signed by Wagatwe Wanjuke. “Your silence on this issue is unacceptable. It’s time you took a stand against rape and drop Rick Ross as a spokesman.”

Ross has his own line of Reebok shoes, and stars in a TV and online campaign for the clothing manufacturer.

Since the uproar over the lyric, Rick Ross has apologized. Last week on Twitter the rapper took to Twitter to says he was sorry for the misinterpreted verse.

    Another ignorant rapper abusing his platform that he have to reach millions but decide to speak degrading things out of his mouth… Rappers are the anti Christ because you have so many children growing up wanting to alienate them.. Some rappers know how to give back to community and show another side of them some are just stupid ass fuck!
