Rodney Herachio Dixon (/dixon/; born December 14, 1962) is an American basketball street legend who is a member of the LA Communities of Promise. [2]. He began writing music for Prince Rogers Nelson in 1982 and sued Prince and Warner Brothers Records for $1 billion in (1994-1995) for non-payment of a verbal and implied agreement. He has gone by the stage names Rameses America Mercury and Aeric Alexander Mercury. The (1994) lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court was not dismissed against Warner Brothers Records in (1995) but not against Prince until (2017) for failure to prosecute in a timely manner, after the death of Prince Rogers Nelson (April 21, 2016). [3] He sued the Estate of Prince Rogers Nelson for non-payment of the same verbal and implied agreement that was extended from (1995) until Prince's death (2016). The case was dismissed with prejudice by the Minnesota Probate Court for lack of consideration.[4]. He later filed a lawsuit for Copyright Infringement and Interference of a Contract against the Estate of Prince Rogers Nelson. The court dismissed the case and deemed him a frivolous litigator. Although he received $1 consideration from Jerry Edelstein in (1995), the attorney-of-record for Prince Rogers Nelson, the court ruled that Res Judicata was applicable to the Minnesota Probate Court's decision where he did not submit his receipt of $1 consideration in a timely manner.[5] Mr. Dixon is the owner of several copyrights such as Rameses XII: Merc Supertext, The Cosmic Billionaires Club, Atoma, Queen Hottie, The Solar Race and Get Wise. He is a solar and real estate professional. He is linked to businessman Sheikh Ahmed Bin Qassim F. Al Thani, a member of the Qatar Ruling Family. It is alleged by Warner Brothers Records that he thought Prince was the Messiah and challenged Prince in a race. He clarified those allegations by reiterating Jesus is the Messiah and that his entertainment concepts were taken out of context. He now owns The Solar Race, a solar marketing company. It is reported that Prince Rogers Nelson became a secret patron of solar before his death.[6] Multiple articles have been written about his bizarre music relationship with Prince. [7][8][9][10][11]. But the fact remains his receipt of $1 consideration remains at-issue. The federal courts ruled he may bring an action against the Estate of Prince Rogers Nelson if acceptable to a magistrate judge.
