Well, ‘Gah Damn’! So So Def artist Royce Rizzy (formerly Rolls Royce Rizzy) has been slapped with a lawsuit by luxury automaker Rolls-Royce. The car company alleges that the 24-year-old rapper is using their name unlawfully to sell his wares.
According to the lawsuit (courtesy of TMZ), Rolls-Royce alleges that Rizzy promotes and sells his “Team Rolls Royce” T-shirts on his official website. The automaker also claims they have has sent multiple cease-and-desist letters to Rizzy but he kept selling the tees.
In his defense, Rizzy has dropped the “Rolls” from his name about a year ago. The Atlanta-based rhymer also told TMZ that he never received a letter from Rolls-Royce and he no longer sells the tees. Even Jermaine Dupri, his boss, has wisely advised him to drop “Rolls” from his name. “I know how business works,” he said.
Rizzy doesn’t seemed bother by the car maker’s legal threats. On Sunday (Jan. 25), the ‘Not the Same’ rhymer went on Twitter to address the situation. Rizzy believes the car maker should be thanking him for the free promotion he gave them.
We don’t think Rolls-Royce’s attorneys see it that way. Read Rizzy’s tweets below:
