RICK ROSS BEING SUED BY PHOTOGRAPHER FOR PICS USED WITHOUT PERMISSION

RICK ROSS

Photographer's take not getting paid for their work very seriously, and are protected by copyright law. Thus, Armen Djerrahian is suing Rick Ross because a number of pics he snapped of the Miami rapper and his Maybach Music Group collective have been used without his permission.


Reports TMZ:

Armen Djerrahian claims in a new lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- he shot photos of Ross for a magazine layout -- including the iconic photo of Ross pointing a finger to his head like it's a gun-- but claims Ross ripped off the image and is now using it illegally.

Djerrahian claims he also shot a bunch of rappers from Ross' Maybach Music group -- including Meek Mill, Gunplay and Omarion -- and now those pictures are popping up everywhere.

Djerrahian says his images are being used on posters, ads, internet banners, mixtape and cd covers, websites and all over social media ... even though he never gave anyone permission.

The Bawse's lawyers have been earning their checks lately. Rozay is suing LMFAO for jacking his "Hustlin'" hit for "Party Rock Anthem."
