John Gotti’s Grandson Calls Out Rapper Rick Ross Over ‘Teflon Don’
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Rick Ross has drawn the wrath of John Gotti’s family for naming his album Teflon Don, the nickname of the infamous former leader of New York’s Gambino organized crime family.
Carmine Agnello, 24, is attempting to launch a career under the name Carmine Gotti.
Agnello blasted rapper Rick Ross
in the New York Daily News for using the moniker on his latest album which was released yesterday (July 20th).
“My grandfather paid his dues for that nickname. That was my grandfather’s life,” Agnello said of John Gotti, who earned the nickname “Teflon Don” after winning multiple acquittals in the 1980’s and 1990’s.
He should have asked for permission. A standup, respectable guy would come and ask ‘If I could use the nickname,’” Agnello said. “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.”
