Rick Ross Sued For Stealing Name And Image

Rick Ross
Miami rapper, Rick Ross, has been sued by notorious drug dealer, incarcerated felon, "Freeway" Ricky Ross. The Miami MC famously took the drug dealer's name, image and likeness and used it to launch a fairly successful rap career.
The only problem for the rapper is in America there is such a thing as image rights. "Freeway" Ricky Ross is entitled to what is known as the Right Of Publicity, meaning he and only he, has the right to profit from his name and image. When he has passed, that right goes to his heirs.
To use his real life image as a persona for a rap career and credibility, is a violation of his legal rights. You are an impersonator, pretending to be the real thing and in music that defeats the purpose of having credibility. As such, the cocaine trafficker has sued the Miami rapper.

"Freeway" Ricky Ross
Thus far, Judge Percy Anderson, has not granted an injunction barring the release of Ross' forthcoming album, but under the law, he owes the felon financial damages and should cease and desist exploiting his name and image for financial gain.
Under the circumstances, you cannot take someone's name and image and turn it into entertainment for profit. You are infringing on their life, which is illegal.

The damages are multiplied, as you are disseminating this work and persona not your own, all over the world, violating international image laws as well.
Side Bar: "Freeway" Ricky Ross appeared in the eye-opening documentary "American Drug War." He spoke about the CIA and Oliver North, as did numerous other individuals, from drug dealers to former DEA agents.
I still have not gotten over that documentary. It's pretty messed up when you find out the CIA flooded the streets of Compton, California with drugs they imported into America.

Debbie Rowe Wants Michael Jackson's Kids Back

LAPD And DEA On Jackson Case

The Michael Jackson case exploded today with news the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) asked the federal DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) to join the investigation into his early death, his memorial will be held in the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, wants custody of her two children she gave to him.

As I've covered in other cases on the site, her parental rights cannot be terminated via contract. It is something that would have to be adjudicated in court, based on other grounds.

She has maintained for quite sometime they are her children and Michael is not the father. However, her statements about her children were not emotionally healthy and screams avarice. She basically gave them away for millions of dollars and referred to them as "animals" she gave birth to for Jackson.

If Rowe regained custody, she stands to inherit $250,000,000 via Michael's will, in what he left for his children and any and all money that would come from pimping them out in book and television deals, on what life was like living with Michael Jackson.

While, I do agree children should be with their parents, as long as they are of sound mind, Rowe smells cash, I'm sure.

Jackson's Ex-Wife: 'I Want My Kids Back'

11:31pm UK, Thursday July 02, 2009 - Michael Jackson's ex-wife has revealed she plans to fight for custody of the two children she had with the singer.

Debbie Rowe was married to Jackson for three years

Debbie Rowe, who was married to Jackson for three years from 1996, said in an interview: "I want my children."

Ms Rowe said she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA, to prove she was the biological mother of Prince Michael, 12 and Paris, 11.

In her interview with NBC in Los Angeles, Ms Rowe also revealed she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, away from the children...
