Russell Simmons Recounts A Not-So-Nice Encounter w/ Bill Cosby!

 

It’s no secret that Russell Simmons and Bill Cosby have been feuding publicly regarding Cosby’s State Of Emergency campaign regarding the state of hip-hop and its cultural messages.  Simmons took to his blog where he says he tried to end the feud when he ran into Cosby at the Jackie Robinson Annual Awards dinner last week – and lets just say it didn’t go too well.

Anyhow, I love Bill. His next move was straight up old school pre b-boy hood shit. He walked by me and bumped me with his shoulder as I walked off stage after presenting my award to Sean, just like the cool ass character in “Let’s Do It Again.” I then loved him even more. He’s from the same hood I’m from, just got a lucky break like me, cause I am those suffering men. And after that elbow I knew he was too.

Let’s all discuss the real causes of the suffering and not point our finger at a few poets who are mere reflections of a reality that needs all of our attention.

Phat Farm Sues “Phag Farm” Maker For Trademark Infringement!

 

Russell Simmons former company, Phat Farm is at war with T-shirt company, “Phag Farm.”

A $7 million lawsuit has been filed against Phag Farm whose name is an acronym for “Pretty Hot And Gay,” which also serves as the description of the clothing company.

The Florida-based company is owned by Lisa Wright.

Wright attempted to trademark the company name in 2008 before receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Phat Fashions, the company that owns the Phat Farm trademark.

The lawyers for Phat Fashions are suing for trademark infringement because the name similarity confuses the consumer.

They are also suing for unfair competition since the prices and merchandise are virtually identical to Phat Farm.

Phag Farm launched earlier this month, let’s see how long they last.
