UPDATE 10:30PM: Future has responded to Rocko's $10 million lawsuit, and as you'd expect the Atlanta rapper is not happy with the current situation. "Nigga lookin like dame out there," he wrote. "Ion want my nigga lookin like no baby momma."

He also questioned Rocko's street cred. "Real street nigga went to the court house,how did it feel when u signed the papers?" Read Future's tweets below.

Rocko was quick to respond to Future's tweets and refuted any scenario of him stepping foot in a courthouse. "LORD KNOWS I HAVEN'T SEEN A COURTHOUSE IN AGES! THAT'S WHAT LAWYERS ARE FOR!" This saga doesn't seem like it's going to end anytime soon.

Another day, another lawsuit filed against Future.

According to TMZ, producer/rapper Rodney Ramone Hill, Jr., better known as Rocko, is going after Future for allegedly breaching a contract made five years ago. Rocko, who is the founder and owner of A1 Recordings, says he signed the Atlanta rapper on the condition that A1 would make his first six albums. Future later landed an Epic Records deal, which came with hefty advances worth millions.

Rocko says in the suit that his initial deal with Future entitles him to 25 percent of those advances, as well as 20 percent of Future’s earnings made from endorsements and concerts. It’s a sum that surpasses $10 million.

It’s just another instance that shows how money can mess up a relationship. Since signing him in 2011, Rocko has consistently taken credit for discovering Future, who was previously known as Meathead the Future. He also credits himself for teaching the rapper about the ins and outs of the business.

'[Future’s] my little brother," Rock told The Village Voice in 2013. "You don't want family to get the wool pulled over their eyes so I'm teaching everything that I know. [As a result] he's seen a lot and he's seasoned. He been rapping since before I got my hands on him."
