PHOTOGRAPHER SUES RICK ROSS FOR ALL PROFITS OF ‘MOVIN BASS’ TRACK
Rick Ross is as BAWSE as it gets – but even he isn’t above the law.
The head honcho of MMG is reportedly being sued for using an old image of Jay Z in the new video for their collaborative track, “Movin’ Bass.”
Though the photo only appears for a split second – in a montage dedicated to Jay Z’s success throughout the years – that’s all it took for one photographer to bust a move on Rozay.
Rick just got sued by a photographer named Armen Dj errahian, and in the docs he says he took a pretty famous photo of ‘Hova back in 2003. The image shows Jay throwing up the roc — the popular hand gesture representing his label … Roc-A-Fella Records.
Dj errahian says the shot popped up in Ricky Rozay’s new music video for his song, “Movin’ Bass” .. which features Jay Z. We checked, and he’s right … it does — but only in a montage highlighting Jay’s success.
It’s on-screen for fractions of a second, but those milliseconds could cost Rick and his label, Def Jam. Dj errahian’s suing for all the profits they made off using the Jay Z image, and a court order to block them from further use.
