#BBB NEWS| NFL: Rick Ross Is Being Sued For Allegedly Ruining A Super Bowl Party [PHOTO]

A company is suing Rick Ross because they allege he sucks at social media or just didn’t care enough to hold up his part of a contract.

The company 'Conexts' is suing Rick for the Jan. 30 event that was scheduled to go down at the Scottsdale Mall Amphitheater. According to the docs, Ricky Rozay agreed to do some heavy duty social media promotion for the party and concert. Problem is he never did it.

The company says he was supposed to do DAILY social postings for 2 weeks leading up to it — but only did ONE post. Conexts says it was crucial for the event’s success for Rick to reach out to his 13 million followers.

Rick got $55,000 up front, and was scheduled to get another $55k the night of party … however, the event was canceled just a few days before, and they had to issue refunds.
