*TheSmokingGun.com has confirmed that gangsta rapper Rick Ross did, in fact, work as a prison guard at one time.
The site matched the rapper’s Social Security number with that of William Roberts who graduated from the Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) training academy and was assigned to Dade County’s South Florida Reception Center in December of 1995. He was 19 years old at the time. He left the job in 1997. Ross has adamantly denied that he worked as a corrections officer and he accused other rappers of using Photoshop to put pictures of his face on another person’s body. "If this sh*t was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?" Ross told TheSmokingGun.com, "Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake." Busted! Florida Department of Corrections officer William Roberts, now known as (rapper) Rick Ross, is shown is pictured (circa mid 90s) shaking hands with Marta Villacorta, who then headed the South Florida Reception Center for new prisoners. In a recent videotaped interview, Ross replied, "No, that's not true" when asked if he had worked as a prison guard. He claimed that the phony story was being circulated by detractors upset by his success in the rap world, where, "I came out of nowhere and just took over the streets."
