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 Tuesday (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. “Only in America can you go from being a corrections officer to calling yourself Teflon Don,” Agnello told the New York Daily News.
