Rick Ross has filed a cease-and-desist against Remy Ma over a film, The Biggest Boss, which is expected to premiere on her network. According to the formal petition—which was obtained by TMZ—Ross’ attorneys claim that the film’s name is a rip-off of his likeness and music. The Maybach Music Group founder demands that the project be halted because it not only features the unauthorized use of his music, but also his trade name.
The rapper believes that the title has caused confusion among his fans, who thought he was attached to the project. That said, it appears that Remy was “personally unaware” of the concerns Ross raised in his petition. “She has maintained a personal and professional relationship with Rick Ross for more than 20 years and would never intentionally engage in any action that could harm his brand or cause offense,” a rep tells the outlet.

The rep reveals that after receiving the letter, Remy personally reached out to Ross directly. The movie title has since been removed from Remy’s platform, The Remy Network. “The Remy Network is now working closely with its partners to strengthen review processes and ensure that situations like this do not occur moving forward,” the rep added.
The film, which has been renamed to The C.O., centers on a police officer who steals a drug dealer’s life story and turns it into a rap career. The story is eerily similar to Ross’ backstory of going from a corrections officer to a big-time rapper. The project is expected to be released later this spring. Some social media users suggested that the project was a dig at Ross, who’s been a major supporter of her ex-husband Papoose and his girlfriend, professional boxer Claressa Shields.
