See controversial reason why Rick Ross don't sign a female rapper.

On Tuesday, July 24, Rick Ross appeared on Power 105.1 FM’s Breakfast Club to talk about his upcoming show ‘Signed”. He makes a controversial statement about why he doesn’t sign female rappers. “You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up f–king the female rapper and f–king the business up,” he said.

Ross went on to explain that signing a female rapper would be a bad business move. “I’m so focused on my business. I gotta be honest with you,” the rapper and producer said. You know, she’s looking good. I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots. I gotta f**k her a couple times.”

It would be easy to pass off his comments as a joke, but the interview is just another unfortunate example of a mentality that views women as sexual objects before anything else and therefore ultimately hurts their careers, keeping women out of the male-dominated hip-hop world because they are never seen as equals.  Bear in mind, this is the same man who in 2013 had to issue an apology after he released a song with a verse that seemed to condone date rape with the lyrics: “Put Molly all in the champagne/ She ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain’t even know it.”

And this is the same man who posed for the photo below, ahead of his Breakfast Club interview (Ross is “playfully” grasping Angela Yee, one of the three hosts of the morning show and the only one who challenged his sexist comments.

General strike turns into violence as two protesters were killed!!!

For more than two years, Venezuela has struggled with a massive economic collapse that has triggered acute food shortages, a lack of medical care and rampant inflation. NPR's Planet Money calls the disaster, caused by government decisions and triggered by a drop in oil prices, an "economic horror story." A political crisis soon followed. Protesters called for the resignation of Maduro, who is now deeply unpopular. But instead of stepping down, Maduro accumulated more and more power. Empty streets, makeshift barricades, burning tires, signs scrawled with "No to dictatorship": Protests continue on the streets of Venezuela as a 24-hour general strike takes hold, the latest development in an ongoing political and economic crisis. Some citizens are trying to go to work despite the shutdown of public transportation; others are taking to blockaded streets in protest.
