When it rains, it pours is a phrase Rick Ross has gotten to know very well over the past couple months. This is surely an odd position for Rick Ross, as he has ran the rap game since 2010. In 2011, Rick Ross hit an unexpected peak when he expanded the roster of his Maybach Music and released countless singles.
However, things went downhill once Rick Ross’ verse on Rocko’s “U.O.E.N.O.” hit the mainstream. There is no doubt that the song is a hit, but Rick Ross’ verse sounds too close to date rape to call. Despite defense from Meek Mill, Ace Hood, Rocko, and Slim Thug, Rick Ross lost his Reebok deal and around $4 million in profits.
Now, Rick Ross is facing even more of a financial loss. A talent agency that books many of hip hop’s biggest names, including Wale and Machine Gun Kelly, filed a lawsuit against Rick Ross over unpaid commission. Rick Ross is being sued for $171,000, which is small change to Ross, but adds to the growing number of money lost.
