Apparantly, the beef between Rick Ross and 50 Cent is finally over.

Is the beef between 50 Cent and Rick Ross finally over? Well according to DJ Whoo Kid, 50 Cent’s DJ and G-Unit member, it is. Recently Whoo Kid explained why 50 Cent has moved on stating “The Rick Ross sh*t is outta here. It’s over, he’s done his promo, 50 promoted his album very well, so Rick Ross is outta here. Now he’s worried about his own sh*t. They got the Tia [Kemp] book out there. That should be the last level of anything that has anything to do with Rick Ross.” Whoo Kid then went on to talk about what’s up next for the G-Unit general saying “50’s done ten freestyles, I’m waiting on like, two more. I guess he’s trying to figure out the title. And I’ve been doing a lot of those Radio Planet videos, so I’m gonna put together a RadioPlanet.TV 50 Cent video. Those are my video mixtapes I’ve been putting out, killing the Web waves.”

I wonder what 50 is gonna do now that he’s not beefing with Rick Ross anymore?

Rapper Rick Ross’s baby mama Tia Kemp has called him out and claims he may have to change his rap alias in the near future.  During this interview Tia updates “The Boss” fans on what his other baby mama, Brooke, is up to.

“Rick Ross is a liar,” Tia told radio personality Angela Yee. “You can’t believe anything that comes outta this guy’s mouth at this point. I mean nothing. I was with him for three years. He lies about everything. I think [it's a mental condition]. He’s psychotic…I haven’t seen [Brooke] in a while. We don’t hang out in the same places, so of course I’m not gonna see her. I’m quite sure she’s on the track in South Beach somewhere trying to sell some p*ssy or something. She’s a call girl…He ain’t got no gangstas around him…I’m hoping the book will be a success and I think I got some roles in movies and doing some modeling and I just got a lot of things on the table right now…I have no idea [why he chose the name 'Rick Ross']. Why would you wanna take someone else’s name? Seriously, like you went from ‘Teflon’ to ‘Willow’ to ‘Rick Ross.’ Are you serious? He may have to change his name soon from ‘Rick Ross’ because Rick Ross is home now. He gonna have to see him.”

Tia also talked about her thoughts upon seeing Brooke’s sex tape that 50 Cent leaked online.
“I just feel sorry for her daughters, it’s sad,” Tia said in an interview. “And then she did an interview in Hip-Hop Weekly saying that her older daughter saw the tape. It’s just sad, you know? I can understand you doing some things when you were 17, 18 years-old but god d*mn, once you become a mother, there’s certain things you just can’t [do]. There’s no control in that household. My son dyin’ to see the sh*t. My two older sons dying to see the sh*t. I can’t let them see it though, they’ve been wanting to see it. I got a 12 year-old and 10 year-old.” (Shade 45)

Well Rick Ross better look out because all his cards are being laid out on the table. His baby mother Tia is releasing a tell-all book,
Tia’s Diary: Deeper Than Rap, wherein she refers to Ross by his government name, William Roberts.

“Will was paying the rent and the bills and flying in and out of town so I didn’t have to deal with headaches from him all the time,” an excerpt reads. “I didn’t have to cook for him every night and take care of his bullsh*t. I was in my own apartment, and had a big brand new truck, no one could tell me anything. I didn’t have to worry about Will’s momma and his sister anymore and their negative attitudes and vibes and I still had him. He wasn’t going anywhere. They forgot that he had to deal with me, I had his son, I had Lil’ Will.” (Deeper Than Rap Book)

Rick Ross just keeps getting called out. First his previous job as a corrections officer comes to light and now Louis Vuitton is putting him on blast for wearing a pair of knock-off sunglasses on the cover of XXL.

The XXL Editors received this letter from Louis Vuitton concerning the May 2009 cover of Rick Ross.

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

How is ‘The Boss’ gonna rock some fake shades?

Rick Ross’s own lawyer and officers investigating him have discovered that Rick never ran with the “Carol City Cartel”, and doesn’t even know anyone from the gang:

The rapper Rick Ross would have his fans believe that he made millions trafficking cocaine while running with one of Miami’s violent street gangs. Of course, that claim took a hit recently with the disclosure that Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) actually once worked as a corrections officer, news that was met with derision in hip-hop circles.

Now, records show that Ross’s own lawyer last year disputed reports that the performer has ever been affiliated with any gang. Ross’s purported hoodlum connections were explored last April during a deposition of Officer Rey Hernandez, a Miami Beach cop who arrested Ross in January 2008 on gun and marijuana charges (one of the few blemishes on Ross’s rap sheet). As seen in the below transcript excerpts, Ross’s lawyer, Allan Zamren, asked Hernandez why Ross’s case was assigned to the gang task force. “Because your client claims affiliation with Carol City Cartel and other known gang members,” Hernandez replied. The cop then directed Zamren to “some literature or video on U-Tube that you can pull up for yourself.” Zamren then proceeded to press Hernandez on Ross’s supposed gang ties. “Do you have anybody from a Carol City gang that you have information on or basis of any knowledge that says he is affiliated with them?” Hernandez answered, “No.” Zamren then asked, “Do you have anything that shows you he was affiliated with any gang?” Hernandez replied, “No, I do not.” Zamren also got Hernandez to acknowledge that, prior to the January 2008 bust, Ross had never been arrested in Miami-Dade County, where he has long resided.In response to a Freedom of Information request, a copy of the Hernandez deposition was provided to TSG by the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney, which is prosecuting Ross on the gun charge (the pot count was dropped).
