5. Rick Ross

When the rapper first came on to the music scene in 2006 he derived his stage name from the former drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross, to whom he has no connection. In 2008, The Smoking Gun website took away a bit of Ross’ street cred with a report saying that he was once a corrections officer at South Florida Reception Center. Ross initially denied that the photographs released were of him, saying that someone must have photo-shopped his face into them. However, Ross later admitted that he did in fact work as a corrections officer, but he still raps about his drug-dealing past.
