This is only my guess because neither one of them could possibly be claiming to be the innovative soul who discovered the cleverness of replacing the “s” in a word with a dollar sign.) But Rocky claims it never happened and this is all a hair-brained extortion attempt. From TMZ: Related Stories The rapper’s acclaimed lawyer, Jo...
