Jay Z is being sued by a company that claims it owns the rights to the Roc Nation logo and that the rap mogul has been plastering the signature paper plane image on Major League Baseball merchandise without its permission.
According to TMZ, Iconix Brand Group filed a lawsuit against Hov for $10 million. The company says in court documents that it paid $204 million for the rights to the paper plane image and now controls its licensing.
Iconix takes issues with the Roc Nation logo appearing on select MLB merchandise, including hats and jerseys. It is dragging New Era, Lids and the San Francisco Giants to court as well.
Jay Z has had his fair share of legal troubles around Roc Nation. Perhaps the biggest was when Rita Ora and Roc Nation sued each other last year. They reached a settlement in June with the singer announcing a new contract.
take that you camel looking dick sucking lips bitch!
You just mad at Jay-Z like they is
King HOV will win the rights hand down. Who the fuck has heard of Iconix Brand Group? Nobody? Okay. Just another unknown company trying to leech off another man’s success. We all know if this was broke ass Nas, he would’ve lost the first day, like he usually does.
I love jay bro but he coulda very easily have stolen this logo from the iconix brand solely because we’ve never heard of them
For such a huge Jay Z stan you sure do know shit about him and his business dealings. Iconix Brand Group is the company that owns the rights to Rocawear
Of course, Dame Dash trying to get back at the King. Not gonna happen.
Dame Dash doesn’t have anything to do with Iconix. In fact, I think Iconix might pay Jay Z a fee to use his image to promote Rocawear but he doesn’t own any of the rights to it. Probably, the reason why he’s getting sued.
Thank you. lol I’m not a fan of his ByaBy any stretch of the imagination but, even I know that Iconix purchashed Rocafella from hfrom him back in ’05.
Ask Russell Simmons
So the hat is a collectable now
10 million is like peanuts to Jay – he gonna pay half of that for them to shut the fuck up, hand their bitches to him, then volunteer to jump off a balcony lol.
typical dindu
Until you own your own your not me…..
You lost me at the improper use of your.
THE UNDERMINING OPPORTUNIST NAMED JAY Z!!!!
Non stop Ls since Ether
But your name is one of his quote? Hold that L
The truth is that Iconix bought rocawear and everything Rocawear. The argument for Jay is that the ROCNATION logo is not part of Rocawear. Iconix say it is…..
I don’t think this will go very far.
I know this old but that is the logic I was using as well. Roc Nation came to be after the sell of Rocawear.
