If the photos are real: Did anyone really think that this guy really was a kingpin who suddenly out of nowhere decided to walk away from his Cocaine Cowboy lifestyle and become a rapper? 
Is it wrong for rappers to play elaborate fantastical roles? (hmm, well that’s debatable) Ok, is it wrong for rappers to have had day-jobs that were just as boring or tedious as ours?
Clearly Rick Ross claimed his “role” more than others (Too Short and Luke are quick to say they’re not flesh peddlers in real life)…but there’s heavy demand for new rapper “realness” in this biz…maybe he’s like the musical equivalent of a method actor. Didn’t Daniel Day Lewis really think he was Bill the Butcher for a couple months back during
“Gangs of New York”? (I think that really creeped out Cameron Diaz.)
But meanwhile Rick Ross is not only maintaining that he was never a corrections office, he actually says the photo that is circulating is a photoshop fantasy. He sent this statement to Allhiphop and Onsmash:
“My life is 100 percent real. These online hackers putting a picture of my face when i was a teenager in high school on other peoples body. If this shit was real don’t you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything else? I’m in the entertainment business and a lot of people like to hate because I’m on top of my game. Like I said before my life is 100 percent real.”
