Jay Z Being Sued by Wrestler, Kanye Being Sued by Stuntman, Lupe eyes Pink

THURSDAY DECEMBER 14, 2006

Jay Z sued by Wrestler,Diamond Dallas Page

Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page has added the Rocawear clothing line to his on going copyright infringement case against Jay Z. The lawsuit, which was originally filed in December of 2005 claims that Jay Z’s diamond hand gesture was illegally adopted from Page’s patented diamond cutter symbol.
Recently, Page added the Rocawear clothing line after he learned that it had been used to promote apparel and CDs. “Many athletes and celebrities also flashed the Diamond Cutter sports celebration move,” states the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Federal Court. “In Game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals against the Chicago Bulls, Karl Malone, the Utah Jazz star basketball player, flashed the Diamond Cutter Trademark during the game and referred to the symbol as Plaintiff’s hand sign. Similarly, former professional football player and Dallas Cowboy star running back, Herschel Walker used the Diamond Cutter Trademark after a 64 yard touchdown run and also acknowledged that it was Plaintiff’s signature trademark.”

Kanye West Sued By Evil Knievel

Retired daredevil Evil Knievel has filed a law suit against Kanye West claiming the rapper portrayed him without permission in his $1,000,00 video Touch The Sky. Knievel filed the lawsuit claiming infringement on his trademark name and likeness and says the “vulgar and offensive” images depicted in the video damage his reputation. He was quoted as saying, “That video that Kanye West put out is the most worthless piece of crap I’ve ever seen in my life, and he uses my image to catapult himself on the public.”

Lupe wants to work with Pink Floyd

After working with the likes of Jay Z, Kanye West, and Jill Scott on his debut album, Lupe Fiasco has set his sight on collabin with a popular Rock band for his next album. “I got my wish list on my last album so I made this one unattainable,” he tells Billboard.com. “Now I want to work with Pink Floyd, or the remnants of Pink Floyd.”
Fiasco says the next album will be titled “The Cool” and will only feature production from the up-and-coming collaborators utilized on the debut, such as Soundtrakk and Prolyfic. “I’m coming up with concepts, but I need to find a way to wean myself off the Internet,” he admits. “I think I need to break my laptop. Lyrically, it’s going to be intense, but nothing is recorded as of yet.”

I mean how can diamon dallas page sue him for that, i used to watch wcw and saw him always used the roc sign but never thougt any thing of it when jigga did it, but u can't sue the man for that shit, if so u would have to sue everyone else in the atricle who been using the sign, futher more for evil knevil to sue kyane for that shit is wrong, it looks like to me that these has been aint making no more money doing what they're doing, so they figure hye y not try to get some money from these niggas, they got a whole lot of it and their doing shit like buying big rims and bright jewelery and we need some paper to get some new atv's, shot guns and new ram trucks to run the ranch, so y not get the free paper lol

Lol, the things people do for money. DDP's a bum, and has been a bum since he was suppossedly in his prime...

As for E.K. calling Kanye's work crap and stating that Kanye used his "name or likeness" to boost his career... c'mon man... u could tell he's racist just from his comments. U know what he really wanted to say! lol. Another BUM!

Evil Knievel is old and confused. DDP is dumb. I think Texas should sue him for using the name Dallas. Lupe is an inspiration to anyone who takes music serious. Also, that cracker shit is getting old. Grow up.
