Rick Ross Sends Cease & Desist to Remy Ma Over “The Biggest Boss” Movie

Rick Ross is drawing a hard line on his brand. The Miami rapper fired off a cease-and-desist letter to Remy Ma demanding she pull her film originally titled “The Biggest Boss,” claiming it rips his nickname, music and life story without permission.

The letter, dated February 26, 2026, and obtained by TMZ, came from Ross’s attorney Leron Rogers. It hits The Remy Network the streaming platform Remy launched in late 2025 for using the title, Ross’s likeness and tracks like “The Boss” in the trailer. Ross argues the whole setup tricks fans into thinking he signed off on the project.

“ Not only is Ross not profiting from his own tradename and musical work, but also, viewers encountering the trailer are being confused into believing that Ross has approved or is in some way affiliated with the movie,”

The letter states, according to reports from TMZ, Billboard and Complex.

The film’s plot centers on a correctional officer who steals a drug dealer’s identity to launch a rap career. That mirrors Ross’s own path: born William Leonard Roberts II, worked as a correctional officer in Florida before blowing up with Maybach Music Group and his “Biggest Boss” persona.

Remy Ma, the Bronx rapper behind hits like “Lean Back” and now running The Remy Network, responded fast. Her team told TMZ she had

“maintained a personal and professional relationship with Rick Ross for more than 20 years and would never intentionally engage in any action that could harm his brand or cause offense.”

She immediately yanked the original title, pulled the trailer and the Ross music, then reached out to him directly. The project now runs under a new name, reportedly “The C.O.,” with no lawsuit filed yet as of March 19, 2026.

This isn’t just paperwork. It spotlights how fiercely rappers guard their brands in an era of artist-owned streaming platforms. Ross built “The Biggest Boss” into a full empire. Remy’s crew says the movie was never meant to drag him just tell a story that happens to echo real rap-world jumps from the streets to the mic.

Some online chatter points to possible personal shade involving Remy’s ex Papoose and boxer Claressa Shields, but Remy’s rep shut that down as unverified gossip with zero proof tying it to the film.

One quick title swap and some deleted music kept this from blowing into court. In today’s digital rap game, where a trailer can spark instant confusion, protecting your name means moving fast exactly what both sides did here. Fans are watching to see if the renamed project drops without more drama.
