Freeway Ricky Ross, the ex-cocaine kingpin warned there would be a lawsuit coming against rapper, Officer Ross and Universal and he’s made good on that promise.

On Friday, June 18 Freeway Ricky’s legal team filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in the California U.S. District Court.

Jay-Z, who was responsible for signing Officer Ross to Def Jam in 2006 when he ran the label will be called on to testify in what is sure to be a very interesting trial.

Freeway Ricky is requesting a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction to block the release of Officer Ross’ new record, ‘Teflon Don‘.

He is also seeking half of all money made by the rapper, born William Leonard Roberts II while using his name.
