Rick Ross Regrets 'Insensitive' Comments About Female Rappers

Rick Ross has apologized for his controversial statement about why he doesn't sign female rappers to his record label, Maybach Music Group, admitting that the sexist remarks were "a mistake [he regrets] via a Facebook post.

"I want to address an insensitive comment I made on a very sensitive issue, especially in a minority-dominated industry like hip-hop," Ross wrote in the post. "My entire empire's backbone is led by two of the strongest people I know, and they happen to be women, my mother and sister. The operations wouldn't run without them, and I have the highest regard and respect for women in this industry. I have a daughter myself, my most cherished gift in the world."

Ross went on to suggest that his comment "is not [a] reflection of [his] beliefs on the issue," deeming it a mistake that he regrets. "I hope to use my mistake, my platform and the community to create positive discussion to implement change on a very important issue. respect for the ones who stand up to say hey that isn't right. Now it's time to accept responsibility and all do better," he continued.

In case you missed it, the "She on My Dick" rapper revealed to The Breakfast Club just why he wouldn't ever sign a female rapper. "You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up f**king a female rapper and f**king the business up," he said. "I'm so focused on my business. I just, I gotta be honest with you. You know, she looking good. I'm spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta f**k a couple times."
