Rick Ross


The Cross River State Government has hired lawyers in the United States to sue rapper, Rick Ross, for breach of contract.

The government stated this in a BlackBerry Messenger broadcast on Wednesday morning.

Ross was expected to perform today at the Calabar Festival but failed to turn up for unknown reasons.

The BBM broadcast reads, "‎​Please be informed that Rick Ross has  cancelled his performance at Calabar Festival after accepting full performance fee.

"The rapper, Rick Ross, has issued a statement cancelling his performance at the Calabar Festival, scheduled for December 28, 2011, for reasons not related to his recent surgery and seizures.  "The performer’s cancellation is unexpected and the reasons are unknown to Cross River State since he has confirmed receipt of his entire performance fee many weeks ago.

"Currently, Cross River State and its agents have retained counsel in the United States to pursue their legal and monetary remedies against the artist."

why didnt they call BABA SUWE

I really don't understand how Rick Ross fits into cross river's celebration. We have naija artiste that can deliver, but i guess if it isnt foreign it isnt good enough.

comedy central

is it the guy that did the pepsi (or is it sprit advert)?
if na the guy, they should free him jooo.
this na him dividend of democracy.

next time they shld invite p square or ice prince. .IDIOTS!

that goat called ross has just spoilt my day.

See wasting of money, Rick Rose at calabar festival, This is senseless. Anyway maybe the guy heard of the latest bombing activities taking place in Nigeria so he decided to use his brain,

Foreign doesn't always mean good.

That is what you get when you try to control someone who keeps telling you 'I'm the boss'. Next time they should look for somebody that screams 'I'm your messenger'.

You have got to read the United States' travel advice to its citizens about Nigeria, to find out why 'the boss' stayed away from Nigeria after realising that there are some bosses that are bigger than 'the boss'.

Those ofu saying they should have called naija artists, who said they weren't there??
The organisers jst want to blend both local and international music, By the way it aint ya money and cross riverians aren't complaining so STFU!!!!

Why cant d Cross River Govt peeps pay Libya a courtesy visit durin dia riots, He should com and U guyz'll b sendin international communities apologies and boko Haram story tinz again! He used his Big Head of course!

He he he. . . "Boss Rozay" hear Boko Haram, him use him head.

But seriously, the guy should at least have the decency to return the money without the state govt having to go to court. Abi "Boss" wan collect him share of national cake?

Maybe he doesn't want to get bombed.

Makes sense to me guys. The nigga probably figured that it is probably better to pay breach of contract damages than being dead

The fear of boko haram

You guys should get facts before condeming CRS govt, almost all the big names in Nigeria music industry has been there, today p square, d banj, wizkid and the rest of mo hit are performing. Rick Ross was just to blend foreign with 'local'

This is why all these dirty rappers get shot

No, it's not like that. Naija artistes always have their turn, then a slot or two is always given to foreign stars for a change of taste.
We shouldnt 4get dat Calabar xmas festival is always a month long thing so there always enough room for as many Naija artistes as possible to perform. I personally say that there is no known Naija musician(especially hip hop) who has never performed at Calabar Xmas festival. I stand to be corrected.

Rick Ross=> I'm the boss
Boko Haram=>I'm the bomb
Rick Ross=> e be lyk say i no go kum cross river again ooo.

That's my man 305 in my yeyo, he ain't fit this kind of festival,
