As previously reported, Rick Ross stopped by Q93 in New Orleans and apologized for his lyrics, " 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."   FYI, "Molly" is a nickname for a form of MDMA, cited by the FBI as a date-rape drug.  His apology didn't go over well.  Veteran rapper Talib Kweli called Ross a "Misguided 40-year old".

The Maybach Music Group leader is being pummeled by women's rights group, UltraViolet, who's 71,000 + petition was hand delivered to the NYC headquarters of Reebok in a protest today.  UltraViolet co-founder Shaunna Thomas said her organization has rallied against Reebok and Ross because the rapper is so well known. She said:

It’s true that other people have rapped about this subject before. But it’s rare that someone with a following like he has would be so brazen about rapping literally about drugging and raping someone. We saw this as an opportunity to make a comment about rape culture and to give people a way to say, This isn’t cool. As a culture, we need to figure out a way to make sure that we’re not sending the message to boys and men that it’s okay to rape. I think women have had enough.
