Ricky Ross Files Lawsuit Against Rapper Rick Ross & Def Jam Records
Can you say fail? It seems the real Rick Ross is not too happy with the Miami rapper who uses his name as an alias. Now he is taking aim at the record label which financially supports the popular recording artist.
Recently released from serving a 15 year prison sentence, former drug-lord "Freeway Ricky Ross" is filing suit against rap recording artist "Rick Ross" and his record label Def Jam Records for using his name.
