"Rick Ross has been dropped by Rebook over a storm about his allegedly pro-rape lyrics.  Ross had previously clarified the intent of his rhymes in &amp;#039;UOENO&amp;#039; by Atlanta MC Rocko, arguing that &amp;quot;we don&amp;#039;t condone rape and I&amp;#039;m not with that&amp;quot;. In the track, Ross raps: &amp;quot;Put molly [MDMA] all in her champagne, she ain&amp;#039;t even know it. I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain&amp;#039;t even know it.&amp;quot; Reebok said in a statement: &amp;quot;Reebok holds our partners to a high standard and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Rick Ross has failed to do so. &amp;quot;We are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse. &amp;quot;At this time, it is in everyone&amp;#039;s best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr. Ross.&amp;quot;  Ross had appeared in adverts for Reebok Classic shoes. Equality campaign UltraViolet, which had called for Ross to be dropped by Reebok, responded positively to the announcement Co-founder Nita Chaudhary said: &amp;quot;We are thrilled to hear that Reebok is joining the fight against rape culture and dropping Rick Ross. &amp;quot;This is a huge victory for women, for the 526 survivors of rape who were brave enough to publicly confront rape culture, and for the nearly 100,000 UltraViolet members who have poured their hearts and time into this campaign.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;This sends a strong message that rapping about drugging and raping an unconscious woman is not only morally wrong, but has real consequences. After Steubenville, Americans expect and demand better. Thank you Reebok for taking a stand.&amp;quot; Watch a Rick Ross Reebok Classic commercial below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
