The Cross River State Government has hired lawyers in the United States to sue Rapper, Rick Ross, for breach of contract.
The government announced this in a BlackBerry Messenger broadcast that reads:
“Please be informed that Rick Ross has cancelled his performance at Calabar Festival after accepting full performance fee.
The rapper, Rick Ross, has issued a statement cancelling his performance at the Calabar Festival, scheduled for December 28, 2011, for reasons not related to his recent surgery and seizures. The performer’s cancellation is unexpected and the reasons are unknown to Cross River State since he has confirmed receipt of his entire performance fee many weeks ago.
Currently, Cross River State and its agents have retained counsel in the United States to pursue their legal and monetary remedies against the artist.”
The information was made known publicly on Tuesday,December 27th when a representative of Rick Ross told allhiphop that he will not be coming to Nigeria to perform at the calabar festival as earlier scheduled .
