William Leonard Roberts II, better known to rap fans as Rick Ross, was at the White House this weekend with other rappers Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, J. Cole, Wale and DJ Khaled, ironically to support the president’s “My Brother’s Keeper,” a program designed to keep black men out of trouble with the law, when his ankle monitor went off, TMZ reported.

The president had just finished speaking when Ross’ monitor “ripped the silence,” TMZ reported.
