Rick Ross has reportedly had a lawsuit dropped at his door from rapper Young Muhammad, real name Ishaq R. Muhammad, over the use of the phrase ‘Maybach Music’.
Rick Ross regularly uses the phrase, and also founded a record label imprint called Maybach Music Group, and now Young Muhammad is claiming the rapper stole his intellectual property in using the phrase.
Muhammad claims that as Rick Ross featured on his 2007 track with a similar name, Caprice Music, he then got the idea to start his imprint under Maybach Music.
In legal documents seen by TMZ, Muhammad claims that his track inspired the 42-year-old’s company and catchphrase. He is now suing for $9,999 (£7,500) for theft of intellectual property, as well as suing Roc Nation for endorsing the music group.
Rick, meanwhile, is fresh off the stage from yesterday’s Wireless festival.
He performed on the same night Drake showed up for a surprise 20 minute headline performance, which took place after Dj Khaled dropped out due to ‘scheduling issues’.
The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Tor Uja, has said 100 Christian pilgrims absconded during the 2017 pilgrimage to Israel.
Mr Uja, who made this known while receiving security report of the 2017 pilgrimage on Monday in Abuja, said that no pilgrim absconded in Rome and Greece.
The NCPC boss said that the 100 pilgrims who absconded were from five states in Nigeria, adding that a serving soldier, a police inspector and a lecturer were among the absconders.
He, however, did not disclose the states and names of the absconders, but tagged the states as “red flag”.
Oh Riri! It was reported last month that Rihanna had split from her billionaire boyfriend of a year, Hassan Jameel.
And while the songstress has seemingly reunited with her beau, these photographs of the couple in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico on Friday paint a less than blissful picture.
Soaking up some sun at the coastal resort town the 30-year-old Needed Me hitmaker looked angry as she repeatedly pointed her finger at the Saudi businessman.
The brunette beauty sat together on a large sunbed in an emerald green bikini looking gorgeous but failing to raise a smile throughout the exchange.
Hassan, 29, was pictured explaining something to the Grammy winner and defensively gestured towards his chest as Rihanna pointed her finger in his direction.
At one point the Ocean's 8 star smoked a cigarette as she appeared to be mulling things over. Hassan, wearing a blue T-shirt and patterned shorts with baseball cap covering his head, got up and walked away, appearing dejected.
The Umbrella hitmaker followed shortly afterwards, wrapping a white towel around her waist as she got up from the lounger.
Reports in June suggested that Rihanna had 'grown tired' of her beau before dumping him. But well they are back together now, hopefully this won’t break them again.
