Candid Camera: Rap’s Most Embarassing Exposures
Today’s Smoking Gun expose seemed to put the nail in the coffin for Rick Ross’s ducktales that he was a) never a correctional officer and b) the victim of a cruel Photoshop prank by intarwebs hax0rs. (One quick sidenote: “Screw Rick Ross”? Pump your brakes, TSG. Why you hate-a the rappaz so much?).
One has to realize that if the Boobie Boy (and we’re not talking mantits) had only owned up to the rumors early, he could have saved himself the embarrassment that comes with being sonned by your own damn photo. Ricky isn’t the first to get hoisted by his own petard, word to the Bard–so we dug in the crates to serve up a delicious archive of ether. After the jump, peep some dark moments for some of your favorite performers, and vote on who caught the worst L.
Rick Ross’s Keys Opened Doors
Trick hinted at it, but TSG proved it. Yikes. Talk about screw music.
Dr. Dre Gets Wrecked
When Eazy-E and Dre got to beefing post-NWA, Eazy dug out Dre’s old album art from World Class Wreckin’ Cru’s 1985 album World Class. And yeah, that was only three years before Straight Outta Compton.
Prodigy’s Happy Feet
New York’s Summer Jam 2001 was hell on earth for Prodigy (zing!) when Jay-Z flashed a picture from Albert Johnson’s younger days as an entertainer. A dude still known as Ballerina P don’t want it with Hov—NOOOOOO!
The Game Gets Dumped
Back when 50 was dealing with his very first G-Unit defection (oh, how the time flies!), someone dug up Jayceon’s appearance on trash dating show Change of Heart, and everyone from Joe Budden to Yukmouth had a go.
Lil Wayne & Baby Lock Lips
Was it a Mob affectation? A M.O.B. affectation? Uh, sure. Either way, D’Wayne and Brian’s embrace was almost the kiss of death for Cash Money.
Pre-Glamour Ashanti
The queen of the Inc. was an unfortunate casualty of the 50-Ja Rule feud. “Am I trippin’,” Curtis asked, “or is her sideburns thick like Eddie Munster?” Then someone spread this picture around the web. Is it really Ashanti? We can’t say for sure, but the suggestion alone had a lot of us shook.

I’m gonna have to go with Rick False… reasons being
1) dre’s musical output trumps all, so even if he did used to look like a pre-op tranny r&b singer, it’s all good
2) prodigy was 8 years old i’m quite sure somebody somewhere has a pic of jigga in a one-piece winnie the pooh pajama set (with footsies) when he was that young
3) the game never denied that he was on that show…damn i miss that show…and he’s an emotional sensitive dude anyway so it fits his character
4) that kissing pic is only really mentioned by gillie the kid who “wrote all of weezy’s rhymes and is responsible for his success”…yeah we see that wayne’s career has totally sunk without you, STFU
5) quiet as kept, a lot of r&b “hotties” looked beat before the miracles of surgery, lighting and better make-up. maybe not eddie munster beat, but beat nonetheless. and speaking of beat, i’d beat ashanti all day
so we have a winner, it’s rick false. i don’t know what’s more embarassing, this pic or the XS lakers throwback he wore in that old trina video. youtube it, it’s worth a laugh

Prodigy took the bigger L, his career was never the same after that summer jam screen

Now I know why Tony Yayo said he wanted to use “plungers and broomsticks to rape Ashanti” and not his penis.
