Rick Ross is having a tough Friday. Not only did Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson unleash a verbal assault on the hefty cop-turned-rapper, but we’ve exclusively heard that Pony has cancelled his first signature shoe.

The sneaker was supposed to drop in three different colorways, but Pony has halted production due to Ross’s shady past, as a Correctional Officer. Sources close to the brand say that they want to steer clear of the whole cop controversy, and didn’t want to have to face the whole usual “eff the pigs” type backlash . To see (cough, cough) arresting photos of the three sneakers that were supposed to drop, hit the jump.
