“I know he don't have any money, or the kind of money that I'm gonna have…”

The original Rick Ross is still making his opinion known about the Florida rapper that donned his name, letting everyone know that his nemesis is running low on cash and will continue to do so after he settles the lawsuit against him.
As previously reported Freeway Ricky filed a lawsuit demanding that the rapper and Universal Records drop the Rick Ross moniker and instead use his real name, William Roberts, on albums.
Speaking further on the impending suit, the former kingpin tells “Tony Scufield & The Morning Riot” of WGCI that he deals with confusion around his name on a regular which prompted him to pursue legal action.


“If someone stole your car and you saw them riding around in it every day would you not want it back?  I go places and people think that I'm him and I don't really get offended by it but I don't feel like I should have to explain who I am…I'm just asking him and Universal to stop using it.”


He also adds that the lawsuit would undoubtedly break Ross' pockets which is why he targeted his label home at Universal Records instead.

“I know he don't have any money, or the kind of money that I'm gonna have… Universal is the one that I really have my gripe with. They're the company, they know better.”


Unbeknownst to many a movie about Freeway's life and infamous incarceration is set to go into production at the hands of Nick Cassavettes, the director of the movie “Blow.”

The original Ross tells WGCI that he has a few ideas of who he'd like to play him in the film but needs his fans to log onto his website to help.

“Don Cheadle's getting a lot of votes….So many of my friends are coming at me for that role, Flavor Flav asked me to let him have it….Log on to FreewayEnterprise.com and let me know.”

    The artist Rick Ross is a fake I can see why he's upset about him using his name

    Rick Ross the rapper used the name first commercially, and there is nothing Freeway Rick Ross can do about and he knows this. He's just looking for attention. The person that uses the name first is the one who owns it.

    It blows my mind as a black person we look up to drug dealers. I mean is this the best we can do? We should not support anything a drug dealer is involved with for the profit of making money. If this drug dealer get's rich what will he do for the black community? NOTHING. Are you really thinking, I want my child to grow up to like Freeway Ricky? I think if we are going to praise anybody how about Dr.Ben Carson? Obama? Drug Dealers never end up with the money, never! Freeway Ricky Ross went to jail for all those years, and for what? Nothing. Wake up BLACK PEOPLE! Rick Ross the rapper at least did it legally, I have far more respect for him, on the real.
