He was repeatedly put on notice. OutKast was BEYOND patient with him, if you ask me. This went on for over a year before a lawsuit was ever filed.
The facts that people seem to leave out:
June 2025: He receives a cease-and-desist.
July 2025: He gives an interview where he himself acknowledges that people read Ovrkast as OutKast and confuse the two (I know his lawyer was pissed because this is literally the confusion at the center of the trademark dispute. He talks too much.)
Then the attorneys negotiate. According to the lawsuit, they reach terms for him to transition to OVERKXST. His own attorney later asks OutKast for MORE TIME, requesting a July 15, 2026 deadline.
OutKast agrees to the extension and sends the finalized agreement.
July 13: two days before that deadline, he comes back asking to use different names they ALREADY declined.
July 15 passes and he continues using OVRKAST.
OutKast STILL doesn’t immediately sue him. They send another notice on August 5 and give him until August 11 to comply.
According to the complaint, he doesn’t respond and continues using the name. The lawsuit isn’t filed until September 16.
It has now been a year+ of back and forth.
Then when the lawsuit becomes public, he wants to troll until he tweets: “I NEVER SIGNED any agreement. It was verbal…” He later deletes that post (again, he talks too much) and reposts his response without the part acknowledging the verbal agreement.
So no, this wasn’t OutKast randomly deciding to financially crush some “young” artist. There was a year of warnings, negotiations, an extension his side requested, another opportunity to comply, and continued use of the disputed name before they finally sued.
Now they’re asking the court for an injunction, profits tied to the alleged infringement, damages, legal fees and destruction of OVRKAST-branded materials.
He fucked around and found out. 🤷🏽♀️
I suppose this site can still be useful.
Evidence here that RocNation is directly in bed with Israeli Intelligence, on top of the direct connections to US intelligence (Alex Spiro) and federal informants (Perez).
The thing about this OutKast lawsuit that I feel like people are skipping over:
Name confusion and a name change was AGREED UPON BY BOTH PARTIES BY A CERTAIN DATE.
That date came, the name change didn’t happen.
i think there are several reasons why people can have sex and i have had times in which ive had sex with men purely because i was desperate for sex and unable to pull women and i dont think that makes me any less of a lesbian because i am not into them at all
Tip of the Spear dedicated a lot of space to the sexual violence that the prison admin and guards subjected Black men to. Prisons are sites of state sanctioned sexual violence full stop
Don’t let them re-write history: Gloria Steinem was a CIA asset who was tasked with subverting the feminist movement away from class-based analysis.
She founded the Independent Research Service that was funded by the CIA to spread anti-communist propaganda at youth festivals abroad.
When she was exposed as a CIA operative in 1967, Steinem confirmed her role to The New York Times without apology, claiming the CIA is “liberal, nonviolent, and honorable” and that she would do it again.
The CIA is one of the most violent organizations in history.
See, the problem with this is that it’s just not accurate. For-profit prisons have been turned into a specific boogeyman by the center left despite holding less than 10% of inmates. The “prison industry” doesn’t drive any of these things—it’s the carceral goals of the state.
The bar is so low at this point, the entryists have so won, that this probably won’t even generate any debate. It’s just totally fine that the fav new Berniecrat is proudly touting the endorsement of the person who oversaw the very genocide he’s running against. I’m so jaded atp
