Rick Ross Goes Topless for Rolling Stone; Opens Up About Being A Corrections Officer

:A blinged out Rick Ross shows off his man boobs and an array of belly/chest/arm
tattoos on the cover of the August 10th 2012 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, who
has dubbed the MMG head honcho the “Gangster of Love.”
Inside, Ricky Rozay — whose latest album “God Forgives I Don’t” debuted at #1 on the
Billboard 200 chart — talks about his past as a corrections officer, attending a
Christian school, and his love for Chick-fil-A and the green stuff (aka weed), among
other topics.

Check out the highlights below:

On being an avid weed user — aka a pothead: “I’m most definitely an
avid user, a pothead, however you want to look at it. I call it green caviar.
It’s like a short vacation—it helps me chill out. And people really love it
when I chill out, because I can really be a dickhead.”
On his past as a corrections officer, which he admits was an
opportunity to “wash my hands” after his best friend was
sentenced to 10 years for trafficking cocaine and heroin: “This was
my best friend, who I ate peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches with, and pork
and beans with, my buddy, my partner, my number-one dude. Suddenly I’m
talking to him over federal phone calls. Hearing the way it was building, I
knew I couldn’t take nothing for granted,” says Ross. “My homey’s father
was a huge influence on my life, too . . . He was the one who was like, ‘Yo,
go get a job somewhere, man. Go be a fireman. Or go be a fucking
corrections officer. Just go sit down somewhere.”

On attending a small Christian school after he was suspended from
elementary school for horseplay: “They wanted me to learn the Ten
Commandments. I told them I didn’t really have time for that right now,”
recalls Ross, who eventually made his way back to public school and
excelled as an offensive lineman in high school football. “I got through high
school on my popularity and shit,” Ross says. “But my grades was never
good. I was never good at math.”

On supporting Chick-fil-A: “Chick-fil-A obviously took their stand. That’s
their right – the same way the pro-gay people are taking their stand. I
believe everybody got the right to live their own life the way they want
to.” [So does that mean he'd support a Chick-fil-A boycott?] “Naw. I love that
spicy chicken.”

On the Colorado shooting — which he calls a “cowardly act” — and
gun control laws: “I think we all have a right to bear arms, whichever
amendment that is.” [Even assault rifles? He shrugs.] “I got ‘em.”
