"U.O.E.N.O." is a song by American hip hop recording artist Rocko. It was released on March 5, 2013, as the first single from his sixth mixtape Gift of Gab 2 (2013).[1] The song, produced by Childish Major, features guest appearances from Future and Rick Ross. "U.O.E.N.O." has peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it Rocko's highest-charting single as a lead artist, and also one of Future's most successful singles.

Remixes
On April 11, 2013, the first remix of the song was released featuring Wiz Khalifa.[3] On April 18, 2013, the second remix of the song was released featuring ASAP Rocky.[4] On April 25, 2013, the third remix was released featuring 2 Chainz.[5] On May 23, 2013, in anticipation of their tour together, Black Hippy released a remix of "U.O.E.N.O.".[6]
Controversy
In a line in the song, Rick Ross raps, "Put molly all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it." A petition containing 72,000 signatures was presented to Reebok, demanding they drop Ross as a spokesman for the lyrics which appeared to condone date rape. Ross has apologised for the lyrics, claiming they weren't about rape.[7] He was dropped by Reebok on April 11, 2013.[8] A Ross concert organized by the student association of Carleton University was cancelled after protests that his lyrics promote "rape culture."[9] Rocko later dropped the Rick Ross verse in order to get radio play.[10]
