Back in February drug kingpin “Freeway” Rick Ross was gearing up for a showdown with rapper Rick Ross in court over what he felt was the illegal use of his name, but it seems that the battle royale has been cut short. TMZ reports that an L.A. County Superior Court judge has thrown out the case, allowing Rick Ross to keep his alias and skip the drama.

Freeway first targeted Ross with a $10 million lawsuit over the name, but that was dismissed in 2010 and he followed up by pushing in court. In a February interview with TheBoomBox, the crime boss threw some harsh words at Rozay.

“We're still going to be doing depositions for the next couple weeks. The judge ruled that she's going to make this a public trial. As soon as she makes the final ruling, I'll be releasing William Roberts' [aka Rick Ross] deposition publicly,” Freeway told TheBoomBox. “I can't wait, so everyone can see what a clown he is. The way he clowned me. He shook all the white people's hand in the room and totally disrespected me in the room. When they get to see some of the things he says on camera ... I couldn't believe some of the things he said on camera. Let the world see it.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
