Officer Ricky!

William Leonard Roberts II (born January 28, 1976), better known by Officer Ricky (seen on album covers as Rick Ro$$), is an American rapper and former Miami correctional officer. His stage name is derived from the name of drug trafficker "Freeway" Ricky Ross, to whom he has no connection. Officer Ricky has also founded his own record label, Maybach Music Group, featuring albums Deeper Than Rap, Teflon Don, and God Forgives, I Don't.

Officer Ricky was born in Coahoma County, Mississippi and raised in Carol City, Florida, of Miami. After graduating from Carol City Senior High School, he attended the historically black college Albany State University in Albany, Georgia. Although he tried to cover it up, from December 1995 to June 1997 he worked as a correctional officer at the South Florida Reception Center. During his employment he received an award for perfect attendance. After his CO career, he eventually signed a deal with Slip-n-Slide Records, which has been under the Def Jam umbrella since 2006. While signed to Slip-n-Slide, Ross toured with fellow rapper Trick Daddy and made guest performances on other Slip-n-Slide rap albums.

In January, 2009 Officer Ricky started an unprovoked attack on 50 Cent. Attacking 50 Cent on his new "Mafia Music" track, Ross stated "Curtis Jackson baby mama, I aint askin for a cent, Burn the house down, gotta buy another, don’t forget the gas can"" 50 Cent has responded by revealing many details of Ross' embarrassing past as well as releasing numerous tracks and cartoons focusing on Ross' fraudulent image. Currently there are no confirmed reports of what Officer Ricky plans to do in his future, but it has been frequently rumored that he will return to Miami as a correctional officer in order to pay off his leased 1995 Chevy Tahoe. Since his feud with 50 Cent, Ross has been engaged in a feud with rapper Kreayshaw.
