The track 'U.O.E.N.O.', which features a verse from rapper Rick Ross, has come under fire recently because the lyrics included by Ross appear to suggest rape.

He raps, "put molly all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it / I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it," and while he tried to clear the air by telling fans the verse was misunderstood he has since been dropped from his ambassador position by Reebok and has now been forced to issue a formal apology.

The statement reads: "For me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility."

"And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize."

He went on to add: "To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it's wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it."
