Drug Dealer Ricky Ross is suing rapper for stealing his name.



About time! I saw this coming from several miles away. There is no way rapper Rick Ross (or so he calls himself) can say his hip hop character is not derived from Freeway Ricky Ross. The original Ross had been watching from jail as a rapper, formerly a correctional officer, used an "identical" name and persona to become a rap star. Ricky was sentenced to life in prison but had his sentence reduced and was released in 2009.

To make one thing clear, former drug dealer Ricky Ross is not suing rapper Rick Ross for money, he is going after name infringement. We will be hearing more about this. Watch this video to hear the true Ricky Ross' thoughts.
