Rick Ross files lawsuit against American hip-hop duo LMFAO

Rick Ross’ dominant presence on the hip-hop scene has been rife with controversy, from lyrics that some construed as glorifying rape to a recent court battle with former drug dealer “Freeway” Ricky Ross over the use of his name (the rapping Ross won).

Now, the “So Sophisticated” rapper is filing a suit of his own against pop-EDM duo LMFAO over the refrain “Everyday I’m shufflin’” from the band’s 2011 smash, “Party Rock Anthem.” The suit alleges that the phrase was lifted from Ross’ 2006 debut single, “Hustlin’,” which features the refrain, “Everyday I’m hustlin’.”
