There was a big confusion between Rick Ross and Christette Michelle at the Soul Train Awards. Chrisette popped off about Ricky skipping out after he lost an award, so they didn't perform as scheduled. Find out what Rick Ross says about the 'beef' when you read on, plus pics of Kim Porter and her son Quincy out in Tokyo.
Rick Ross was pissed when he lost to Eminem in the best 'Hip Hop Song' category. Chrisette was reportedly supposed to perform 'Aston Martin Music' with Ross until he stormed out of the awards. She did an entire blog about is asking, "Who stands off at an award show?". You can read her opinion here.
Now, Rick Ross has responded to Chrisette's comments in the new issue of the Source magazine. Here's the excerpt:
Your third hit single this year was “Aston Martin Music” featuring Drake and Chrisette Michele. It earned a bit of controversy after you left the Soul Train Awards without performing the record. Chrisette got upset, even tweeting “If this is the way of Hip-Hop is then I denounce it.” What happened?
Rick Ross: Basically, I had an opportunity to perform “Aston Martin Music,” which Def Jam put together. The day before the awards I went there for rehearsal…it was a lot of things going on onstage and for the first time, me being at an award show I had no input. It was a little uncomfortable. I just came from the BET Hip-Hop Awards [where I invited] MC Hammer down to the pyro stage. As a result, we were voted the number one performance at the awards. I wouldn’t risk that for a three-minute opportunity I’m not comfortable with.
The word coming from the show was that you were upset Eminem beat you in the Song Of the Year category and you stormed out.
Rick Ross: Not at all. I’ve been going to award shows for a long time and I’ve never had a problem with who won. I’m happy I’m recognized. We were in the trailer, going over these particular [performance] issues [with the shows producer]. Out of respect, we came back out there to give them a reaction to the nomination. They gave the award to Eminem. I applauded. Big Record. That wasn’t the issue. Like I said, the things we requested weren’t met. It had nothing to do with Chrisette Michele. It may have had to do with me not knowing the other 50 people that were onstage at [rehearsal] and we doing my record.
Have you talked to Chrisette?
Rick Ross: I haven’t spoken to Chrisette Michele or her team. but I didn’t speak to her to [invite her to] the show either. It was something maybe the label set up. [But] her choice of words were ugly. Denouncing Hip-Hop, that ain’t cool. Using ugly words could give off the wrong impression. That could make your hat look ugly to me now. That could make your haircut look ugly to me now. Hopefully if we win a Grammy, she’ll come out and accept it with your boy. Give me a kiss on the cheek.
Interesting. Is that a wrap to Ricky and Chrisette collaborations?
