Rick Ross’s legal team sent Remy Ma a cease‑and‑desist demanding the immediate removal of a film titled The Biggest Boss from her streaming platform, asserting the project improperly uses his “Biggest Boss” nickname and aspects of his life story. Remy Ma’s representatives told Ross’s side they were unaware of the similarities, and the title was promptly removed as both parties sought to defuse the situation.
According to the complaint, the film’s plot follows a police officer who appropriates a drug dealer’s identity and uses it to launch a rap career — a narrative Ross’s team says closely mirrors his own transition from a corrections‑related job into mainstream rap. Remy Ma and Ross have worked together for roughly two decades, and her team characterized the removal as a step to preserve their long‑standing professional relationship.
The incident has a notable layer of irony. In 2010, Ricky “Freeway Ricky” Ross — the Los Angeles drug figure from the 1980s — sued William “Rick Ross” Roberts II, alleging trademark infringement and seeking substantial damages over use of the Ross name. Reporting on later court rulings showed the artist ultimately prevailed in litigation that concluded in the mid‑2010s, with courts limiting Freeway Ricky Ross’s claims in part because of his criminal record and related legal factors. That earlier dispute centered on similar questions about who controls a public name and the right to monetize a persona.
