The first is a matter that dealt with the rapper’s 2014 album, Mastermind, and a relatively unknown rapper of the same name that felt the Rick Ross title infringed on his trade- mark.

Nicki Minaj Calls It Quits With Meek Mill After Major Cheating Found Out?
What's seems to be the case for reality television ex-lovers Joseline Hernandez and Stevie J, as now they are hav- ing court custody battles over their unborn child. But did Ste- vie take it too far? You won't be- lieve what he is trying do to ensure the opportunity to be in his daughter's life.
According to Bossip, Stevie claims that he has seen Jose- line take cocaine and now wants to get his baby, named Bonnie, tested for drugs. He has even gone further to request that the child is tested within 24 hours of birth and is requesting that the Puerto Rican princess pay his associated legal fees.
"Respondent has witnessed petitioner ingesting illegal drugs, specifically cocaine," Stevie J submitted last week in a written statement that was filed in Fulton County Court.
This drama all came about after the DNA tests revealed that Stevie was in fact the baby daddy and Joseline threated via text messages that he would never see the baby.
Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj in happier times. Sonye is the al- leged girlfriend now.
Bossip reports that a bou- tique owner by the name of Sonye has been thrown into the split rumors between Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj, be- cause she and Meek Milly have allegedly been seeing each other for over a year.
The source who has leaked the information, Bossip claims, revealed that the DC4 rapper had even gone so far as to throw up the cash needed for
Sonye to own the boutique. If nothing else, the streets of Philly definitely talk, and the source also alleges that Sonye and the MMG rapper’s rela- tionship has widely been known among the community. This is mainly due to her boast- ing of Meek’s lavish spending on her, the source alleges, and she is close to some of the other girlfriends of the Dreamchasers clique.
