Rick Ross beefs with Dee-1 on social media after Dee-1 calls him out on violent lyrics while promoting justice reform. Dee-1 is a rapper from New Orleans who has over 87,000 listeners a month on Spotify. His bio reads “If Tupac and Lauryn Hill had a son, it would be Dee-1”. While Dee-1 may be new to some, this isn’t his first time in the limelight. He has been part of the BET Hip-Hop Awards Cipher and hosted the red carpet for BET’s Hip Hop Awards. He has also collaborated artists including Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, The Game, Lupe Fiasco and Killer Mike.

They promote prison reform in one breath but then rap about murder and violence in the next breath.
It’s the classic “Is it Oochie Wally or One Mic” conversation. During the Phone Number List interview, Dee-1 said, “I’m on fire [so] I feel even more motivated to continue to be bold about what’s right cuz this industry got us messed up… I love that I’m in the culture enough to where they can’t try to excommunicate me. I have been on the BET Hip Hop Awards Cipher. I done hosted the red carpet for the BET Hip-Hop Awards.. like I’m in the culture but I can still look at what the culture is glorifying and doing and be like, “that ain’t cool right there like that’s messed up right right there”… They act like you crazy for speaking out on it. I don’t blame the 20’s something year old’s… It’s the old’s who I like to call DG’s cuz they’re ‘Disappointing Grown-ups’… It’s the ones that’s 40 something years old and man I hate when I see these gray hair clout chasers who still talking about ‘and I send my young boys to come and wet your whole block up and da d da’.
They still glorifying this. I look at… Jim Jones, you could do better brother. I love you too much to not be honest with you. Rick Ross, you could do better brother. Meek Mill, you could do better brother. I love you too much not to be honest with you. Are you the face of prison reform or are you sitting here on your new song with Ross talking about getting somebody merked and shot at the red light? Which one is it bro? Which one is it bro cuz I did a shoe giveaway in my city and gave out 1,300 pairs of your shoes cuz they said reform underneath them and I love that you partnered with with a major shoe company and you out here pushing prison reform. But now, I got to sit here like man this man glorifying getting people killed as of a week ago. Like what are you doing bro? Li Snoop really got killed that broke your heart you wear him around your neck. Why are you glorifying the same thing?” Meek Mill heard Dee-1’s comments and responded on his Instagram stories.
