Ok so his baby momma is chasing him for child support, his sister is screaming on him about being employed by the Florida State penitentary system and now DJ Vlad is suing the Boss of Miami for the alleged beat down at the Ozone Awards last weekend. Vlad is insinuating that the rapper orchestrated the whole ‘beat down’ after Vlad had openly discussed Ross’s prior life.

They say that when it rains, it pours and nothing could be more correct in the case of Rick Ross. The MIA rapper is now being sued for child support for his two year old son, William Leonard Roberts III (named after his Daddy obviously). The baby momma is also insisting that Ross take a paternity test too to enhance her chances of getting the money she is looking for. Ain’t that something, a two year old child and paternity not being established and it being the Momma instigating the test and its even more something when his legal representation is saying that he has already been contributing towards costs for the child and medical expenses.
