what's crazy to me is how offended Ross gets by the fact that the real Rick Ross called him out for it...like, you got this man name, beard, and backstory and HE wrong? :stopitslime:

The only thing he really took was his name. Generic coke stories and beards are nothing specific to Rick Ross. And as far as taking his name, he's not the first rapper to take a gangster or historical figure's name.

This.

Judge Roger Boren, who oversaw the case, said in a statement: “We recognise that Roberts' work – his music and persona as a rap musician – relies to some extent on plaintiff's name and persona. Roberts chose to use the name 'Rick Ross'.

“He raps about trafficking in cocaine and brags about his wealth. These were 'raw materials' from which Roberts' music career was synthesised. But these are not the 'very sum and substance' of Roberts' work.

“Roberts created a celebrity identity, using the name Rick Ross, of a cocaine kingpin turned rapper. He was not simply an impostor seeking to profit solely off the name and reputation of Rick Ross.

“Rather, he made music out of fictional tales of dealing drugs and other exploits – some of which related to plaintiff. Using the name and certain details of an infamous criminal's life as basic elements, he created original artistic works."
