Petition demands Reebok drop Rick Ross over date rape lyrics

An online petition demanding that Rick Ross be dropped as a Reebok spokesperson because of his lyrics on Rocko's track "U.O.E.N.O." has gotten more than 50,000 signatures. Members of an online community called Ultraviolet -- a group mostly comprised of moms, dads and student-athletes -- signed the document, threatening to boycott Reebok and protest at the company's headquarters.

On the track, Ross says,

"Put molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain't even know it."

Molly is a more potent form of the drug ecstasy.

In a statement, the co-founder of Ultraviolet says,

"Reebok devotes a lot of time, energy and money to marketing to women -- and now they are paying a man who is literally bragging about raping us while absurdly insisting it can’t possibly be rape if he doesn’t use the word 'rape.'"

Ultraviolet accuses Ross of "sending the message that raping a woman is cool," and writes in its petition, "Reebok should drop him as a spokesperson immediately."

So far, Ross is still repping the Reebok brand, wearing the label to interviews and featuring a sneaker from the company on his Twitter page.
