'freeway' Ricky Ross Taking Battle Over Rapper Rick Ross To Appeals Court by Nobody: 3:38pm On Mar 28, 2013 |
What's the connection between a former drug kingpin, a mega-selling rap artist and the face of a man familiar to coffee drinkers everywhere? The answer is determining the outcome of a splashy legal dispute. On Wednesday, a judge rejected claims made by "Freeway" Ricky Ross, who ran a notorious drug empire that covered Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s, against Warner Bros. Records over the career of hip-hop star Rick Ross. The first Ross says the second Ross (born William Leonard Roberts II) stole his name and likeness, with the help of Jay-Z and others in the music industry. Unfortunately for the plaintiff, who was released from prison in 2009 on good behavior and now counsels youth, he's been having trouble convincing a judge that he brought his claims soon enough over a rapper who has been around a decade. That's where the face of coffee drinkers comes in.

The facts are that Rozay never did drug- his nearest to drug was working as a warder. All he did was FAKE the xcter of Ricky Ross and boy it paid off- afterall its all about the benjamins. Ricky has little case, he is no brand or trademark- albeit ex-con. |
