Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross had some explaining to do when his court-issued monitoring ankle bracelet went off during a meeting with President Barack Obama last week.
According to reports, Ricky Rozay’s monitoring device went off while President Obama addressed him and other notable hip-hop artists for his Brother’s Keeper youth program.
It was a serious and fancy affair … enough to get Ross in a suit, which covered the ankle monitor he has to wear … a condition of release in his kidnapping case. Sources on scene tell TMZ Obama finished his speech when Ross’ anklet ripped through the silence. We’re told Ross was even surprised … the anklet’s new and it randomly beeps. (TMZ)
Along with Yung Renzel, hip-hop stars DJ Khaled and Pusha T also met with the head of state.
Just leaving the White House…I never got to go on my elementary school field trip there. Thanx for the invite @POTUS #MyBrothersKeeper

According to reports, various hip-hop artists met with President Obama this week to talk about the criminal system.
Nicki Minaj, Ludacris, Pusha T, Rick Ross, Chance the Rapper, Alicia Keys, J. Cole, and other famous rappers sat down with Obama and some of his advisers to discuss criminal justice reform and the My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, the AP reports. (Vulture)
Ross reflected on the presidential meeting on his Instagram page last weekend.
I’d rather listen to that new Ross track “Lemon Pepper” than read another artiicle about a beep…
