Rick Ross has reportedly had a lawsuit dropped at his door from rapper Young Muhammad, real name Ishaq R. Muhammad, over the use of the phrase Maybach Music.

Rick Ross regularly uses the phrase, and also founded a record label imprint called Maybach Music Group, and now Young Muhammad is claiming the rapper stole his intellectual property in using the phrase.

Muhammad claims that as Rick Ross featured on his 2007 track with a similar name, Caprice Music, he then got the idea to start his imprint under Maybach Music.

In legal documents seen by TMZ, Muhammad claims that his track inspired the 42-year-olds company and catchphrase.
