Slim Thug & Earl Sweatshirt say that Reebok’s reasons for dropping Rick Ross negate why they would ever partner with him in the first place.
In the wake of yesterday’s news surrounding Reebok ending their endorsement deal with rapper Rick Ross, some have come to the Maybach Music Group founder’s defense. Sharing “the boss” moniker with Rick Ross, Houston, Texas emcee Slim Thug seemingly took umbrage with part of Reebok’s statement, which read: “Reebok holds our partners to a high standard and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so.”
The former Star Trak/Geffen Records artist took to Twitter to point out, that prior to what was believed to be lyrics endorsing rape, Rick Ross has always represented himself as a former drug lord-turned-rapper.
Meanwhile, the group that led last week’s protests, UltraViolet, has come forward to praise Reebok for deciding to sever ties with Rick Ross in their own statement.
