Rick Ross Sued Over Rolexes
From TMZ:
Rick Ross has just been sued for being so sophisticated … he forgot to pay a nearly $90,000 bill for three Rolexes he bought last year — this according to a new lawsuit.
Johnny’s Custom Jewelry in Texas filed the suit against Ross and his company Maybach Music, claiming the rapper agreed to purchase 3 diamond Rolexes last August for a total of $89,847.50.
According to Johnny’s, the Rolexes include one 18K gold watch with 30CT of diamonds ($55,000), one 18K gold watch with 7CT of diamonds ($14,000), and one two-tone watch with 5CT of diamonds ($14,000).
Johnny’s says it held up its end of the bargain — delivering the watches as ordered — but Rick still hasn’t paid for the bling. Johnny’s wants the rapper to cough up the owed money stat, plus interest.
