Act Bad Lawsuit Seeks $10 Million in Damages


Over the weekend City Girls rapper, Yung Miami, was served with a copyright infringement lawsuit, on behalf of hoodtreprenuer Charlie Cee [real name Charles Kenyatta Jr.], during a hosting gig at the Sekai Night & Day club in Houston [click here if you missed that].

According to court docs Charlie Cee wants Yung Miami to cough up $10 million for using the phrase "Act Bad..."

RadarOnline.com has obtained a federal lawsuit filed by Kenyatta against Yung Miami in New York court.
In the suit, Kenyatta said he is the sole owner of Act Bad Entertainment and the trademark for ‘Act Bad.”
He said he never permitted Yung Miami to use his trademark. Despite this, he accused her of using the mark to sell merchandise and make a profit off his mark without permission.
“The defendant had knowingly in bad faith marketed, distributed, offered to sell or sold the United States materially different products,” the suit read. Cee added, “She and her alleged boyfriend Sean Combs has a song called “Act Bad” and in a magazine stated them as “Mr. and Mrs. Act Bad,” causing a whole bunch of confusion with Plaintiff trademark.”
“Whether a mark or trademark name is likely to cause delusion by blurring for purposes depends on factors including the similarity between the mark and famous mark,” his suit argued.
He demanded $10 million in damages from Yung Miami and a court order prohibiting her from continuing to sell the merchandise.
