John Gotti Family Pissed Off At Rick Ross
Rick Ross has pissed off The Gotti Family. In an interview with The New York Daily Times, John Gotti’s grandson Carmine explains his beef with Rick Ross naming his album “The Teflon Don”.
My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather’s life,” Agnello said.
John Gotti was dubbed the “Teflon Don” after winning acquittal after acquittal in the 1980s. He was finally convicted of murder and racketeering in 1992.
“He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask ‘If I could use the nickname,’” Agnello, who is trying to launch a music career under the name Carmine Gotti, said of Ross. “I think he’s a great artist, but you can’t just start calling yourself that to sell records …He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself.”
He adds:
Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don
