*A rapper is claiming that Rick Ross stole from him the marketing scheme of namedropping “Maybach Music” into his songs and has filed a lawsuit to recoup his piece of the financial pie.
This issue started back in September 2017, when Ishaq R. Muhammad (aka Young Muhammad) claimed that his 2007 song “Caprice Music” inspired Ross to launch “Maybach Music” and similarly use the phrase as a marketing tool in his music. Muhammad threatened to sue.
According to TMZ, he has now followed through. According to new legal docs, Muhammad says he featured Rick on his “Caprice Music” single and Ross could be heard saying the phrase all over the track. Muhammad claims that’s where Ross got the idea for “Maybach Music” … and he’s been using it ever since.
Muhammad is now suing Rick in small claims court and seeks $9,999 for theft of his intellectual property. He’s also suing Roc Nation for endorsing “Maybach Music.”
