Rick Ross released a formal statement on Friday, apologizing for song lyrics that seemingly condoned rape.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the rapper came under fire for the Rocko song “U.O.E.N.O.,” where he rhymes, “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.”

The statement comes one day after Reebok fired Ross as its spokesperson.

Rick Ross’ controversial lyrics referencing date rape have landed Reebok in hot water with the women’s group UltraViolet.

The rapper, who has an endorsement deal with the company, has caused a stir with “U.O.E.N.O.,” a track that contains the lines, “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 common slang term for MDMA, better known as ecstasy.

Now UltraViolet has sent a letter to Reebok expressing outrage that Ross has not been dropped.

Rick Ross is apologizing for lyrics in his song “U.O.E.N.O” that many listeners interpreted to be pro-rape.

In the track — a collaboration with Rocko released in January but prompting outcry in recent weeks — Ross raps, “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.”

Ross initially claimed the lines were “misinterpreted,” but after the women’s group UltraViolet announced a protest and encouraged companies to cut ties with him, the rapper offered an apology on Twitter.
