50 Cent is reportedly suing Rick Ross, and the reason isn't really that much of a surprise at all. According to TMZ, court documents in Connecticut show that 50 is suing Rozay over the use of the "In Da Club" beat on Ross' Renzel Remixes project that came out last month.
50 claims that Ross had no right to use the instrumental and did so just to promote his album, Black Market. Of course, the Ross and 50 beef is nothing new, and the two have been going back and forth for years. Recently, 50 lost a $7 million lawsuit against Ross' baby mother for leaking her sex tape back in 2009. We reached out to both parties for comment on the matter.
