An attempt by President Obama to promote his 'My Brother's Keeper' initiative, which aims to keep youths of color out of trouble, came to a farcical end when rapper Rick Ross's ankle bracelet - which he received on a kidnapping and assault charge - went off.
Obama had invited a bevy of hip-hop heavyweights, including Niki Minaj, Common, Busta Rhymes, Pusha T and DJ Khaled, to the meeting at the White House Friday.
But none of them - least of all Ross himself - expected the ankle bracelet to interrupt the president, according to TMZ.

Apparently, the term "brother's keeper" has a positive connotation because Cain used it derisively / disparagingly when attempting to deny having murdered his brother, Abel. But even if Cain used it in that way, it still actually has a negative connotation. A "keeper" is someone who guards and restricts the freedom of someone else - usually, an inferior such as an animal, as in the term "zookeeper."
Anyone using the term "brother's keeper" is actually insulting his brother.
