Now, an update for those of you with very good memories when it comes to hip hop litigation. As previously reported, a US wrestler called Diamond Dallas Page is currently pursuing legal action against Jay-Z over that 'diamond hand gesture' the rapper uses. Page claims the gesture is a rip off of his 'diamond cutter' hand gesture, which he patented in the late nineties, and he is suing Jay for trademark and copyright infringement.
The update on the story is that a federal judge has just given Page permission to add various companies related to Jay-Z's Roc-A-Wear empire - ie Rocawear, Roc Apparel Group LLC, Urban Menswear LLC and Rocawear Licensing LLC - to the lawsuit, because the rapper recently used the disputed hand gesture to promote a Roc-A-Wear clothing line. Which possibly wasn't wise, given the lawsuit.
Jay's people are yet to comment on the expansion of the legal action.
