XXL Magazine Receives Lawsuit from Louis Vuitton in Regards To Rick Ross

Is Rick Ross the Biggest Fraud Ever in Hip-Hop?????

After saying in XXL that "I've never had a credibility problem and still don't..."

The XXL Editors received this letter from Louis Vuitton concerning the May 2009 cover of Rick Ross:

Dear Editor:

We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points.

The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.

Sincerely,
Michael D. Pantalony, Esq.
Louis Vuitton Malletier

Fake glasses for a fake rapper. Rick Ross has gone completely down hill this year.

Wow. That is HILARIOUS

Yeah I read about this shit too...fucking clown. And i'm also sick of these monkeys making thes other folks rich by promoting their shit for free and these muthaphuckas cut their throat as soon as it hits the fan.

Can't even afford a pair of sunglasses. IDK, 50cent maybe behind this. He's still mad he couldn't kill Rick's career.

You almost feel bad for him, but then i remember when i heard his first cd and suddenly i dont feel so bad.

a dude of his supposed caliber shouldn't be buyin fake shit... i glad he got exposed. hahahahahahhahaha

What's really funny is he obviously didn't know they were fake.

thats questionable since he prolly bought them from a street vendor... he knew they don't sell real shit. hahahhahaha

This shit is too funny. Somebody said he had a fake pair of Jordans on Cribs too lmao

and to top it all off his chains turn his neck green!!!

nah...shits were real. check hhdx, they retracted that shit. ross must have paid them off.

I am not gonna front and act like I don't own his Cds but his music is getting worse by the CD. Every time he opens his mouth in an interview, magazine, etc. He just makes himself look worse.

sup highsmith...i never listened to his first 2 cds, but i thought the beats on deeper than rap were dope and he didnt ruin them with his rhymes...too many bitch tracks in the middle of the cd though.

That's exactly why I don't like the new CD Steve. That's a good point. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League always hooks up Ross with some nice beats, especially the last 2 CDs, but those commercial Rick Ross tracks just don't work for me for the most part. The Port Of Miami was his best work to me but even that IMO wouldn't be above 3.5 or 4 stars out of 5. You just have to be in the mood to listen to it.

nobody would give a fuck if those 2 puppets rick ross and 50 cent got decapitated
