An Alabama accountant is seeking to a collect a $337,500 judgement against rapper Rich Boy, seen here backstage at a 2007 concert.
Ricardo Woods, the lawyer handling the case, says that he doesn’t know if the Richards has any property in Atlanta but he knows he hangs out in the Hip-hop capital of the South. Last week, he filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court in case the rapper has or buys any assets in the county.
Mosley sued Rich Boy and his brother Irvin O. Richards Jr. for shooting at him on July 17, 2005 in what appeared to be a fit of road rage.
The Alabama lawsuit said Mosley was “returning from a gathering with friends” when Rich Boy’s Cadillac shot out without warning in front of his car. Rich Boy’s brother opened fire with an assault rifle from the Caddy, with at least 10 bullets penetrating Mosley’s car and one bullet shattering the headrest, sending fragments into his head, at the next stoplight, the lawsuit said.
Irvin Richards is now serving a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to assault, the lawsuit said.
Rich Boy got probation and Mosley hit back at the rapper’s pocketbook. On Sept. 12, a Mobile jury found the rapper owed Mosley $312,500 in punitive damages, plus $25,000 in compensatory damages. Rich Boy’s publicist, Greg Miller, said he didn’t know if his client planned to pay up.
