Authorities had earlier said Ross and Moragne-el didn't want their names released out of fear for their safety.
"The occupants of the vehicle have asked for their information to be withheld from being released," Fort Lauderdale Police spokeswoman Det. DeAnna Garcia said. "They obviously, with everything that just took place, are fearful for their lives and their families lives."
Interview from 2003, before the full Rick Ross the biggest boss character change
@phontigallo
#SonsOfAnarchy is Rick Ross: An over the top, completely unbelievable spectacle that still managed to triumph in spite of itself.
When Rick Ross compares himself to Big Meech and Larry Hoover on “B.M.F.,” the semantics are important. He has gone from saying that he “knows” infamous drug traders, to saying that he “thinks” he is one. The “I think I’m” in “I think I’m Big Meech/ Larry Hoover” implies that Rick Ross in fact knows that he’s not a big time coke dealer, but that he has convinced himself that he is. Again, Ross is winking at his own play-acting.
With “B.M.F.” and “MC Hammer,” Rick Ross has songs that work on two levels. They work first on a surface level: if you believe that Rick Ross is a drug dealer—even if you believe that he’s actually “Freeway” Ricky Ross—the songs work as no-frills coke rap, just as they have to in order to be commercial. In interviews and public appearances, Ross adheres to this version of his persona. But the songs also work on a meta-theatrical level: Ross is both performing, and commenting on his own performance. If you know about the correction officer photos, and know that Rick Ross knows that you know about them, then whole new layers of meaning appear in the music.
No one in hip-hop has attempted to do both at once, convincing one portion of the audience he’s playing it straight while winking at the people who know better.
I Had to Stop Interviewing Rick Ross Because He Can't Handle Hard Questions
I'm a certified man
I'm a real boss
Gangsters move in silence
Anybody can stand in a crowd with 30 dudes and everybody real, but when those choppers come out everybody fold
Ricky Rozay is a boss
I'm certified worldwide
I can put a 1000 gangsters in any hood
I'm a boss
You can't cancel a Ricky Rozay show without Ricky Rozay permission
Unfortunately the fantasy is always better than the reality
Rick Ross sheer inability to break character and admit wrong-doing and/or show humility is actually hilarious at this point and I salute him for it.
He denies/spins being a CO, spins 50 taking his kids shopping, "We aint pushing it back", spins the seizures, spins the LV glasses on the XXL ****, spins the GD fukkery, and now spins a stupid lyric instead of simply apologizing to shut them up
To cave in at this point after years of posturing and credibility cover-ups would be a total loss. Dude is a walking, talking defense-mechanism
