Rick Ross is being sued for allegedly copying his famous “Maybach Music” tagline from another rapper, according to TMZ.
Young Muhammad, whose real name is Ishaq R. Muhammad, claims he worked with Rozay on “Caprice Music,” a 2007 record on which Ross can be heard repeating the phrase. Muhammad claims this birthed the “Maybach Music” catchphrase the MMG boss has been using ever since — with no credit to him.
Ross released the JAY-Z-assisted “Maybach Music” in 2008 and launched his Maybach Music Group imprint in 2009, but Muhammad claims he trademarked “Caprice Music” in 2006.
In 2017, Muhammad threatened to sue Ross for intellectual property theft. Now, he’s followed through and also named Roc Nation in the suit. The case will go to small claims court since Muhammad is seeking a sum of $9,999.
Rozay and his team have yet to respond.

What’s the Real reason Rick Ross didn’t sign Lola Monroe to MayBach Music Young Jeezy miss out on the opportunity as well it just the right time to sign her when Nikki Minaj had started setting Young Money of fire and Iggy had just sign with Grand Hustle , So what’s up with MayBach Films are fans going to get the Gucci Mane & Rick Ross movie ?

Believe it or not, you can get it settled faster, paid faster (at a discount for the debtor) while totally online — never missing work or having to stare down the other guy in court.
Services like OneDayDecisions.com are becoming more popular, especially because they are cheaper and faster than court (including small claims court) and pay more than collection agencies — and over 85% of all court claims settle anyway.
Also, because there is no court award, there’s no damage to your credit rating. Most people don’t know that even if you pay the court award after losing the case, your credit score can take a hit.
