Rapper Rick Ross finally spoke on the pending $10 million lawsuit that former drug lord "Freeway" Ricky Ross filed against him, Jay-Z and Def Jam Recordings. "Freeway" Ricky claims that the rapper stole his identity to boost his career and street credibility. “We just gonna let the people deal with that,” rapper Rick Ross told AllHipHop.com. “It’s like owning a restaurant, your gonna have a few slip and falls. You get lawsuits, you deal with them, and get them out your way…sometimes you lose.”

"Freeway" Ricky also spoke extensively about the situation to Los Angeles' Channel 11 News, stating, "I did twenty years in prison and beau coups of money went into making this name and what it is today. I feel it was mine, I own it and I want it back. “It’s mine. Its like if somebody stole your car, even though they painted it and put wheels on it that they like, it’s still your car."

Regardless of the suit, Rick Ross still plans to release his anticipated album Teflon Don as scheduled and denied that he was changing his name to 'Ricky Rozay.' “That‘s my Twitter name, so hit me up on Twitter @RickyRozay. I just got on Twitter so shout out to all my followers.”
