Hip-hop artist Rick Ross apologized –sort of — twice on Thursday for song lyrics that seem to allude to date rape, but many weren’t buying it.

Ross has been taking heat since the song “U.O.E.N.O” was released in February. On Thursday, scores of protesters picketed outside a Reebok store in Manhattan and delivered a petition demanding the sportswear manufacturer drop Ross as a celebrity endorser.

In the song Ross 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.”

“Molly” is a slang term for a powerful form of the psychoactive drug MDMA, commonly called ecstasy.

“We are asking Reebok to drop their endorsement deal with Rick Ross,” said Shawna Thompson, a spokeswoman for UltraViolet, a women’s rights group that led Thursday’s protest. “The reason we are asking them to do is because Rick Ross recently rapped, bragging essentially, about drugging and raping women. We see this as an opportunity to elevate the fact that it’s not OK to do that, and he shouldn’t benefit from endorsement deals when he has rap lyrics like that.”
