Rick Ross may have been embraced by Larry Hoover Jr., but John Gotti's grandson isn't feeling him using his grandfather's hard-earned "Teflon Don" nickname for his new album title.
"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 said of Ross. "I think he is a great artist, but you can't just start calling yourself that just to sell records ...He wants to go for that whole image, but hey, be yourself."
"Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don," Agnello said, noting Ross' former career.
