Rick Ross Finally Admits He Was A Correctional Officer???

Mar 12

After months of dodging the question, Rick Ross has now confirmed that he had a job as a Correctional Officer.

In May’s issue of XXL Magazine, Ross admitted that he was the person in the infamous photographs.

“Me not answering or addressing that situation has nothing to do with my career. I’ve accomplished enough, and I’ve made enough money for me to be good… Yes, it was me in those pictures. But I’ma tell you this. Me taking that job, I was doing my job. You understand what I mean?”
