FAKINDAFUNK: Rick Ross "Exposed"

Rick Ross once said:

"online hackers" put "my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this shit was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?" He added, "Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake."

How about these 'dates and details and everything': December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54 and $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997. He is pictured shaking hands with Marta Villacorta, who then headed the South Florida Reception Center at the 60th Graduating Class.

So... what's your excuse now, Ross?

Also - for everyone playin this photoshop bullshit game. It's probably NOT photoshopped. Yeah there's kinda a line if you squint and turn the lights out, and turn the monitor off. That's just the dude's fat rolls stretching the damn collar. I use photoshop. I'm partially a graphic design artist. It's not my main job, but I do it. The shit is tough. First when you google "Rick ross as a teenager" shit don't just pop up like that. Someone had to dig deep and go way the fuck outta their way. Then they gotta find a south florida graudating class of a correctional officer. Hmm... Then you gotta find the perfect picture. Then you gotta do all the color correction. It's not like it's a simple cut and paste thing.



Matter fact. Hold on.

Akon's Con Job

I never liked this guy from day 1, so I didn't know he claimed to once be a ringleader of a notorious car jacking group a la Gone in 60 Seconds Style. He also claims he owned 4 chop shops in Atlanta. But as the story goes, He was this ringleader, and several of his "employees" snitched on him, and he was chased in a stolen BMW but the car was too slow and he couldn't get away like he had done several times before in other high speed chases. He was then surrounded by cop cars, guns drawn and "Locked Up."

The Smoking Gun prevails once again. Some especially entertaining excerpts :

Akon spent the next three years in a Georgia prison. While inside, the 150-pound inmate "fought almost every day for two years," in the process becoming a "champion" who prevailed over both big and small inmates because, "I knew where to hit you to knock you out, so I didn't fear you."

The song, he recalled, "was like an anthem in there" and corrections officers would often ask him to sing its chorus ("I'm locked up/They won't let me out").

In reality, Akon was arrested for possession of a single stolen BMW and held in the DeKalb County jail for several months before prosecutors dropped all charges against him.

In a TSG interview, Brewer recalled that he was positioned outside a shopping center and that his stakeout had nothing to do with Akon; the singer was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The performer happened to be driving a car whose license plates triggered a "stolen vehicle response" when the auto's tags were typed into a police computer. Brewer followed Akon until two uniformed backup officers arrived and pulled over the BMW 740 near Highway 78, according to a police report. He was taken into custody "without incident."

Akon said that he was "going up 78 headed toward DeKalb" when he was surrounded by police cars. With their weapons drawn, officers began simultaneously barking at him to get out of his car.

he was "driving a BMW 325, on my way to the chop shop" when he was apprehended. "That's the slowest car in the whole fleet...I'd been in high-speed pursuits before and always got away, but this time I didn't because the car was too slow.

In February 2007, Akon and "Devyne" Stephens paid $2.65 million for a 13.29 acre Fulton County estate. Photos of the two sprawling properties can be seen below.

Though it had been less than a year since the property was purchased (and despite the housing market being in distress, especially in the Atlanta area), Akon assured VH1 during a recent tour of the estate that his home was "already appraised for $25 million." Fittingly, the R&B star has dubbed his home "Dream Land.

During a Vibe interview last year, Akon eagerly repeated his phony stories of criminal entanglements, but balked when reporter Laura Checkoway asked about his age, which he has long sought to cloak. By all indications, he was born April 16, 1973, so birthday wishes are in order (though his first Copyright Office registration carried a 1972 year of birth). The singer explained to Checkoway that, "The only thing I hide is my age," adding, "Before I lie to you, I'd rather say nothing."

Truly, that is not that case.
